LUMIGAN and Bimatoprost at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

The brand name LUMIGAN (bimatoprost) is primarily manufactured by Allergan (now part of AbbVie). It is widely available in many countries, including Canada, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Generic bimatoprost is sourced from manufacturers that meet applicable regulatory standards. The specific manufacturer of your dispensed medication may vary.

Important Information about Generic Bimatoprost:

Generic bimatoprost contains the same active ingredient as brand-name LUMIGAN and is required to meet the same safety, effectiveness, and quality standards. This means it is designed to work in the same way as LUMIGAN. Studies have shown that generic bimatoprost is bioequivalent to brand-name LUMIGAN, meaning they have similar absorption rates and reach similar concentrations in the bloodstream. However, individual responses to medication can vary due to factors such as metabolism, genetics, and other health conditions.

For more information about generic drug approval and bioequivalence, you can visit the FDA website: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/generic-drugs/generic-drug-facts

Dosage:

LUMIGAN (brand name) and bimatoprost (generic name) are both available as ophthalmic solutions (eye drops). They are typically available in strengths of 0.01% and 0.03%. While exact packaging sizes can vary by manufacturer and region, common bottle sizes include 3 mL, 5 mL, and 7.5 mL (at this pharmacy).

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose based on your individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

LUMIGAN (bimatoprost) is a prescription medication to manage elevated pressure inside the eye in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension by improving fluid drainage. LUMIGAN eye drops can be used alone or together with other eye drops.

Mechanism of Action:
LUMIGAN (bimatoprost) lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye. Its primary mechanism is through increasing uveoscleral outflow, but it also enhances trabecular meshwork outflow to a clinically relevant extent.

Use LUMIGAN exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the product monograph in Canada. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.

The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking LUMIGAN, it is essential to discuss all possible side effects, risks, and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

The information below outlines potential side effects associated with LUMIGAN (bimatoprost). It is not an exhaustive list, and individual reactions can vary.

• Corneal erosion
• Double vision
• Eye pain
• Eye discharge

• Halos around lights
• Increased sensitivity of the eyes to sunlight
• Inflammation of the eyelid (blepharitis)
• Inflammation inside the eye (iritis, uveitis)
• Sensitivity to light (photophobia)

Long-Term Side Effects:

Some side effects may be long-term or even permanent:

• Changes to eyelashes: Increased length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes are usually reversible upon discontinuation, but in some cases, darkening may persist.
• Changes to the skin around the eye: Darkening of the eyelid skin may occur, which is usually mild and may disappear if the medication is stopped.
• Increased brown pigmentation of the iris: This change may be permanent.
• Loss of fat around the eye: This can lead to a deeper eyelid crease, sunken appearance of the eye, drooping eyelid, tighter skin around the eye, and more of the lower white part of the eye showing. These changes are usually mild and may disappear if the medication is stopped. These changes can be more noticeable in some individuals and may not be fully reversed.

Contraindications:

The following is not an exhaustive list of contraindications. Before starting LUMIGAN, it is crucial to discuss all your medical conditions, past and present, and all medications you are taking with your doctor or pharmacist.

LUMIGAN should not be used if:
• You are allergic to bimatoprost or any other ingredients in this medication

Tell your doctor about your medical conditions, past and present, before starting LUMIGAN. This is crucial because certain conditions affect whether LUMIGAN is right for you. These conditions may include, but are not limited to:
• Active intraocular inflammation, such as uveitis or iritis. Bimatoprost should be used with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation, as it may exacerbate these conditions. The decision to use it should be made by the prescribing physician after careful consideration of the risks and benefits.
• Active ocular viral infections, such as active herpes simplex keratitis.
• Aphakia: absence of the natural lens in the eye.
• Dry eye: Bimatoprost formulations containing benzalkonium chloride, a common preservative, may exacerbate preexisting dry eyes. Preservative-free formulations of bimatoprost may be a better option for patients with significant dry eyes. Caution should be exercised, and the choice of formulation should be discussed with the prescribing physician.
• Compromised respiratory function, such as asthma or COPD, as there have been reports of exacerbation of these conditions.
• Known risk factors for macular edema include prior intraocular surgery, retinal vein occlusions, ocular inflammatory disease, or diabetic retinopathy.
• Predisposition to low heart rate or low blood pressure: Due to the potential for minor systemic absorption, patients with a predisposition to low heart rate or low blood pressure should use bimatoprost with caution and have their physician monitor them.
• Pseudophakia with a torn posterior lens capsule: presence of an artificial lens with a tear in the back part of the lens capsule.
• Renal or hepatic impairment: Bimatoprost has not been specifically studied in patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment.
Caution should be exercised when using this medication in these populations, and close monitoring may be necessary.
• Significant cardiovascular disease: Caution should be exercised in patients with significant cardiovascular disease, particularly those with heart block more severe than first degree or uncontrolled congestive heart failure, due to the potential for minimal systemic absorption. These patients should be monitored closely by their physician.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking LUMIGAN, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete and up-to-date information, refer to the LUMIGAN prescribing information | MedSafe.

Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. It is also important to inform your doctor about any herbal teas, recreational drugs, or significant dietary changes you are making, as these could potentially interact with LUMIGAN. LUMIGAN may interact with other medicines, but is not limited to:
• Hypotensive agents: LUMIGAN might increase the hypotensive effects of medications that lower blood pressure, such as acebutolol, aliskiren, amlodipine, benazepril, betaxolol, and others. This could lead to low blood pressure.
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): While some studies have explored potential interactions between NSAIDs and prostaglandin analogs regarding intraocular pressure, clinically significant interactions are not well-established. However, it is still important to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking.
• Other prostaglandin analogs: Using LUMIGAN with other prostaglandin analogs for glaucoma, such as latanoprost, latanoprostene bunod, tafluprost, travoprost, and unoprostone, may decrease the effectiveness of both medications or increase the risk of side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Adequate and well-controlled human studies have not established the safety of LUMIGAN (bimatoprost) during pregnancy. Animal studies have shown adverse effects on the fetus. LUMIGAN should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus, and this decision should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.
