Xlash (Bimatoprost) Ophthalmic Solution
What is Xlash (Bimatoprost) Ophthalmic Solution used for? Xlash (Bimatoprost) is prescribed to patients without eyelashes or who have an inadequate amount of eyelashes. The medication stimulates the existing lashes and follicles to produce thicker, darker, and healthier eyelashes. The eyelashes may eventually return to their original state in length and thickness without continued use. This medication may also be prescribed for the treatment of glaucoma or other conditions causing high pressure inside the eyes. This medication should be administered using specialized applicators. How should I use Xlash (Bimatoprost) Ophthalmic Solution? Always use Xlash (Bimatoprost) according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One daily application is normally administered by gently shaking the bottle to mix its contents, applying one drop to the applicator, and gently brushing it through the upper eyelash. Repeat the process on the other eyelash using a new applicator. Do not apply the medication to the lower eyelashes. Dispose of the applicator after each use. Always observe the medication before each use to make sure it is not cloudy or discoloured as this may indicate contamination. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct administration. What are the side effects of Xlash (Bimatoprost) Ophthalmic Solution? Side effects that may occur while using Xlash (Bimatoprost) include:
Contact your doctor as soon as possible if any serious side effects present themselves such as increased sensitivity of the eye to light, blurry vision, discharge from the eye, severe eye pain, or inflammation surrounding the eye. These conditions may require lower doses, reduced frequency of administration, or emergency medical attention in some cases to prevent further health problems from occurring. Please Note Xlash (Bimatoprost) should not be used by patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under the age of eighteen. Also inform your doctor if you have asthma, diabetic retinopathy, closed angle glaucoma, congenital glaucoma, inflammatory glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, conjunctivitis, hypotension, decreased kidney function, or decreased liver function. These conditions may cause unexpected health problems requiring special adjustments to your regimen. Always remove your contact lenses before using this medication. Strictly use Xlash (Bimatoprost) as prescribed and follow all instructions provided by your doctor. Safe, suitable, and optimum dosage can vary and is dependent on the patient`s health and medical history, as well as the condition you are treating. Xlash (Bimatoprost) may not be safe or suitable for all patients. Always ensure your doctor is informed if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, using any other type of medication (including non-prescription medicine, vitamins, and supplements), as well as if you have any allergies, other illnesses, or pre-existing medication conditions. Seek immediate medical attention or proceed to your nearest accident and emergency department if you suffer a hypersensitive or allergic reaction.
