Bitod 0.03 % Eye Drops 3 Ml contain Bimatoprost (0.03%), which works on the eye as follows:

• Increases fluid drainage: Bimatoprost enhances the natural drainage of aqueous humour (the clear fluid inside your eye) through pathways called the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes, helping to reduce pressure inside the eye.

• Mimics natural substances: Bimatoprost acts as a synthetic prostamide analogue, which means it mimics naturally occurring substances called prostaglandins that help regulate pressure within the eye.

• Reduces intraocular pressure: By improving the outflow of fluid from your eye, bimatoprost effectively lowers the intraocular pressure (the pressure inside your eye), which helps protect the optic nerve from damage.

• Store at room temperature below 25°C.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed and protect it from light.

• Discard the bottle 4 weeks after opening, even if the solution remains.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging.

• Maintain regular exercise, as physical activity can help reduce intraocular pressure (eye pressure), which is beneficial when managing glaucoma.

• Consider a diet rich in antioxidants from colourful fruits and vegetables, as these nutrients support overall eye health and may help protect the optic nerve.
