About Bimat 0.03% wv

BIMAT 0.03 % wv is a popular treatment for glaucoma (particularly Open Angle Glaucoma) and eyelash development.

Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog, is included in BIMAT Eye drops.

It is used to treat two conditions: open-angle glaucoma and hypotrichosis.

Uses of Bimat 0.03% wv

Bimat 0.03% wv is used in the following conditions:

Open-angle glaucoma

Glaucoma refers to a collection of disorders that affect a person’s eyes.

Open-angle glaucoma is the most prevalent, painless condition that causes vision loss and irreversible blindness.

Intraocular pressure increases at an alarming rate in open-angle glaucoma, resulting in vision loss.

BIMAT aids in treating open-angle glaucoma by lowering intraocular pressure.

Hypotrichosis

Hypotrichosis is a disorder in which hair development slows, or hair loss occurs in a specific body area.

BIMAT 0.03% wv eye drops have been demonstrated to aid in repairing hair in the eye area, primarily eyelashes when used by patients.

How does Bimat 0.03% wv work?

The major element in BIMAT 0.03% wv is Bimatoprost.

These eye drops primarily aid in opening clogged drainage pathways in the eye area.

The intraocular pressure gets reduced when the eye’s drainage channels are opened.

It is because the extra fluid in the inner space of the eye is discharged.

The fluid of the eye is most commonly known as Aqueous Humor. 

Doses:

It is advised to take one dose per day.

But, you should strictly follow the doctor’s prescription for the proper doses.

In case you miss any dose, skip it and continue with the usual schedule of your dose.

Do not double the dose or overdose yourself.

For better results, try taking medicine at the same time every day. 

How to take the drug?

The drops should be put in one eye at a time, with caution. Pull the lower eyelid down with your index finger and make a pocket in the eye. Close and open the eyelid to disperse the medication across the ocular area. Use only one drop each day, and follow the doctor’s instructions.

To treat Hypotrichosis, gently apply the drop with an applicator to the root of the eyelashes, focusing on the upper eyelashes region.
