Lowprost Eye Drops 3ml are instilled topically to the eye.

Lowprost Eye Drops 3ml contain bimatoprost (0.01%), which works on the eye as follows:

• Prostaglandin analogue: Bimatoprost is a synthetic compound that mimics naturally occurring prostaglandins in your body, targeting specific receptors in eye tissues.

• Enhanced fluid drainage: It increases the outflow of aqueous humour (the clear fluid inside your eye) primarily through the uveoscleral pathway, which helps reduce fluid build-up.

• Intraocular pressure reduction: By improving the drainage of eye fluid, bimatoprost effectively lowers the pressure inside your eye, protecting your optic nerve from damage.

• Localised action: The medicine works directly on eye tissues where applied, providing targeted therapeutic effects while minimising absorption into the rest of your body.

• Store Lowprost Eye Drops 3ml below 25°C in a cool, dry place.

• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use.

• Protect from direct light and moisture.

• Never freeze the eye drops.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Discard the opened bottle after the timeframe specified on the packaging or when it expires.

• Include foods high in vitamins A, C, E and omega-3 fatty acids, as they help support overall eye health and may complement your glaucoma management.

• Excessive caffeine intake may temporarily increase intraocular pressure (eye pressure), potentially affecting the condition that Lowprost Eye Drops 3ml help manage.
