Introduction

Bimat Eye Drop is suitable for adults and children and can be used by itself or in combination with other eye medicines to reduce pressure. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit. If you stop using it, pressure in the eye could increase and damage your sight. Never use a bottle if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back.

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

Breastfeeding Warning

Bimat Eye Drop is safe to use during breastfeeding. Human studies suggest that the drug does not pass into the breastmilk in a significant amount and is not harmful to the baby. To reduce the amount of Bimat Eye Drop that reaches the breastmilk, place pressure over the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.

Pregnancy Warning

Bimat Eye Drop is safe to use during pregnancy. Most studies have shown low or no risk to the developing baby.

Bimat Eye Drop is a prostaglandin analogue. It works by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor thereby lowering the increased eye pressure.

Bimat Eye Drop helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss. Put one drop once a day in the evening/night in the affected eye(s). Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. Your eyelashes may become more dense and eyelid skin may darken. These changes should disappear after discontinuing Bimat Eye Drop.
