What is Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.03
Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.03 is a well-known prescription medication that helps reduce eye’s fluid pressure in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension patients. It belongs to the Prostaglandin Analogs group of medicines and may also help in enhancing eyelash growth. Ajanta Pharmaceuticals is a prominent manufacturer of Bimatoprost eye drops.
How does Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution 0.03 work
Bimatoprost eye drops work by imitating the action of Prostaglandins, a chemical that controls the outflow of aqueous humor (clear fluid in the eye). By attaching to Prostaglandin receptors in the eye, Bimatoprost increases the outflow of aqueous humor through the eye drainage system. This action can effectively lower the Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and help with Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.
For eyelash growth, Bimat extends the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle and increases the number of hairs in this phase. This results in darker, longer, and thicker eyelashes over time, making it an effective cosmetic treatment for enhancing eyelash appearance.
