The Pharmacist’s Take By · Clinical pharmacist · Written

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog, among the usual first choices for open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension (high eye pressure), and it lowers pressure by helping fluid drain out of the eye through two routes. It has been around since about 2001, is available generically, and as Latisse it also grows thicker, darker eyelashes. Most people tolerate it well, and what they notice is red eyes, some itching and longer lashes. Watch for the colored part of the eye slowly turning brown, which is likely permanent. Eye pain, swelling or vision changes need a prompt call, since they can signal inflammation or swelling in the retina.

Clinical pearls

  • Use the glaucoma drops once each evening, and avoid adding another prostaglandin eye drop, which can weaken the pressure-lowering effect.
  • If you use other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each one so the first is not washed out.
  • Remove soft contact lenses before using it and wait 15 minutes, since the preservative can discolor them.
  • Latisse is painted on the skin of the upper lash line only, so blot any excess or hair can grow where it lands.

What Bimatoprost is used for

▾

Bimatoprost is used in several eye products with different approved uses.

  • Lumigan (0.01% eye drops): lowers elevated eye pressure in open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
  • Zolymbus (eye gel): lowers elevated eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
  • Durysta (intracameral implant): lowers eye pressure in open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
  • Latisse (0.03% solution) and generic bimatoprost 0.03% solution: treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing length, thickness and darkness.

How Bimatoprost works

▾

Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog that mimics natural substances called prostamides. It is believed to lower eye pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor (the fluid inside the eye) through the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes.

This matters because higher eye pressure means a greater chance of optic nerve damage and vision loss.

Bimatoprost dosage

▾

Each product is used differently, so follow your own label and prescriber.

  • Lumigan: one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. More often than once daily may weaken the effect.
  • Zolymbus: one drop once daily in the evening from a single-dose container, discarded after use. If you miss a dose, take the next one as normal.
  • Latisse and generic bimatoprost 0.03%: once nightly on the upper eyelid margin with a new sterile applicator for each eye. Extra applications will not grow more lashes, and lashes return to their prior level after stopping.
  • Durysta: a one-time implant placed by an eye doctor.

Dosing details from the FDA-approved label

From the Bimatoprost prescribing information (“Dosage and Administration”). Doses are set by your prescriber for your product, condition, kidney function and age — never change a dose on your own.

  • Durysta (intracameral implant) - ophthalmic intracameral administration
    • Single intracameral administration of a biodegradable implant, performed under standard aseptic conditions
    • Should not be readministered to an eye that received a prior DURYSTA
  • Latisse (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%) - eyelash treatment
    • Once nightly, place one drop on the disposable sterile applicator and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes
    • Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator
    • Do not apply to the lower eyelash line; additional applications will not increase the growth of eyelashes
  • Zolymbus (ophthalmic gel) - affected eye(s)
    • One drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening
    • Maximum: Should not be administered more than once daily
    • If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is used, administer at least five (5) minutes apart; single-dose container used immediately and discarded after use
  • Lumigan (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.01%) - affected eye(s)
    • One drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening
    • Maximum: Should not be administered more than once daily
    • If more than one topical ophthalmic drug is used, administer at least five (5) minutes apart
  • Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% - eyelash treatment
    • Once nightly, place one drop on the disposable sterile applicator and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes
    • Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator
    • Do not apply to the lower eyelash line; additional applications will not increase the growth of eyelashes
Read the label’s full dosing text

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Ensure the face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Once nightly, place one drop of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution, 0.03% on the disposable sterile applicator supplied with the package and apply evenly along the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes. The upper lid margin in the area of lash growth should feel lightly moist without runoff. Blot any excess solution runoff outside the upper eyelid margin with a tissue or other absorbent cloth. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator. Do not reuse applicators and do not use any other brush/applicator to apply bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. Do not apply to the lower eyelash line [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3, 5.4 ] and Patient Counseling Information (17)]. Additional applications of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% will not increase the growth of eyelashes. Upon discontinuation of treatment, eyelash growth is expected to return to its pre-treatment level. Apply nightly directly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes using the accompanying applicators. Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator.

Bimatoprost side effects

▾

Most side effects involve the eye.

Common side effects

  • Red eyes (conjunctival hyperemia)
  • Eyelash growth
  • Itchy eyes
  • Dry eyes
  • Eye burning or a feeling of something in the eye
  • Eye pain or irritation
  • Darkening of skin around the eye
  • Headache
  • Darkening of skin around the eye or of the lashes
  • Headache and colds or upper respiratory infections

When to get medical help

  • Call your doctor if you notice your eye color becoming more brown. This is likely to be permanent.
  • Get help if you have eye pain, redness, swelling or vision changes, which may signal inflammation or macular edema (swelling in the retina).
  • Seek care for signs of an allergic reaction, such as eye or skin allergy symptoms, or trouble breathing.
  • Tell your doctor if you notice changes around the eye, such as a sunken look or drooping eyelid.

Call your doctor about eye pain, vision changes, signs of allergic reaction, increasing brown iris color, or changes in the eyelid or the tissue around the eye.

Bimatoprost warnings and precautions

▾
  • Iris pigmentation: eyes may turn more brown, likely permanently. Long-term effects are not known.
  • Eyelid and eyelash darkening: usually reversible after stopping.
  • Unwanted hair growth where solution repeatedly touches the skin.
  • Caution with active eye inflammation such as uveitis.
  • Macular edema has been reported; caution if you have risk factors.
  • Contamination risk: keep the bottle tip clean and use each applicator once. Bacterial keratitis (eye infection) has been reported with multiple-dose eye products.

Bimatoprost interactions

▾

Other eye medicines can matter.

  • Other prostaglandin analogs (including Lumigan): using them together with bimatoprost 0.03% may reduce the pressure-lowering effect, so talk to your doctor and have your eye pressure monitored.
  • Other eye pressure drops with Lumigan or Zolymbus: wait at least 5 minutes between them.
  • Soft contact lenses: the preservative benzalkonium chloride in bimatoprost 0.03% may discolor them.

Not a complete list. The label covers the interactions the manufacturer studied or reported, and our own interaction database does not cover every medicine either. Bring your full medication list, including vitamins and herbal products, to your pharmacist.

Before taking Bimatoprost

▾
  • Do not use bimatoprost 0.03% solution if allergic to bimatoprost or its ingredients.
  • Tell your doctor about eye inflammation, no natural lens, or macular edema risk factors.
  • Pregnancy: use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the baby.
  • Breastfeeding: it is not known whether it passes into breast milk in meaningful amounts.
  • Children: studied for eyelashes in children and adolescents with no new safety issues.
  • Older adults: no overall differences in safety or effectiveness.

Bimatoprost overdose

▾

No information is available on overdose in humans. If it happens, treatment is based on symptoms. Animal studies showed no toxicity at very high oral doses. Contact Poison Control or your doctor if too much is used or swallowed.

What Bimatoprost does in the body

▾

Bimatoprost lowers pressure inside the eye by improving fluid drainage. With Lumigan and Zolymbus, pressure begins to drop about 4 hours after the first dose, with maximum effect in about 8 to 12 hours. Using prostaglandin analogs more than once daily may lessen the effect.

How your body processes Bimatoprost

▾

After a drop in the eye, only a tiny amount reaches the blood. Levels peak within 10 minutes and are mostly undetectable within 1.5 hours. There was no significant buildup over time.

Bimatoprost is broken down by the body into several metabolites. Its half-life in the blood is about 45 minutes after intravenous dosing. Up to 67% is excreted in urine and 25% in feces.

How to store Bimatoprost

▾

Store at 2°C to 25°C (36°F to 77°F).

Bimatoprost: pharmacist answers to common questions

Quick, plain-English answers to the questions patients ask most about Bimatoprost — the kind of thing our pharmacy team would talk through with you at the counter.

What is bimatoprost for?

▾
It depends on the product you have. Lumigan, Zolymbus and Durysta lower high eye pressure in open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Latisse and generic bimatoprost 0.03% are for growing eyelashes. Check which one you were given.

How do I use it?

▾
Lumigan and Zolymbus are one drop in the eye once daily in the evening. Latisse and generic bimatoprost 0.03% go on the upper eyelid margin once nightly with a fresh sterile applicator for each eye. Blot any extra. Follow your prescriber's directions and the label.

What side effects should I expect?

▾
Red, itchy or dry eyes are common, and you may notice lash growth or darker skin around the eye. Most of these are mild. Call me or your doctor if you have eye pain, vision changes, swelling or signs of an allergic reaction.

Can it change my eye color?

▾
Yes. It can make the iris more brown, and this is likely to be permanent. It may take months or years to notice. Your doctor can talk with you about this.

Can I wear contacts?

▾
Take contact lenses out before using bimatoprost 0.03% solution. Wait 15 minutes before putting them back, since the preservative can discolor soft lenses.

Is it safe in pregnancy?

▾
There aren't adequate studies in pregnant women. It should be used in pregnancy only if the benefit justifies the potential risk to the baby, so talk with your doctor. The same goes for breastfeeding.

Is Bimatoprost available over the counter?

▾
No. Bimatoprost is a prescription medicine: every Bimatoprost product listed with the FDA is prescription only, so it is not sold over the counter. Your prescriber decides whether it is appropriate for you, and your pharmacist dispenses it.

When was Bimatoprost first available?

▾
The earliest FDA record we hold for Bimatoprost is from 2001: its first approval in Drugs@FDA or its earliest product listing in the NDC Directory, whichever is older. Many older medicines were in use before their first formal FDA approval, so this is the earliest date on record, not necessarily when Bimatoprost was first used.

Who makes Bimatoprost?

▾
15 companies currently list Bimatoprost products in the FDA's NDC Directory, including Allergan, Inc., Fosun Pharma USA Inc., Gland Pharma Limited. That count includes repackagers and distributors as well as manufacturers (companies that sell only the raw ingredient are not counted), so fewer companies actually make it; the label on your bottle names the one that supplied yours.

💵 What Bimatoprost costs pharmacies (NADAC benchmark)

The national average invoice price pharmacies pay for the drug itself, from CMS's NADAC survey (data as of Sep 30, 2026). This is a supply-cost benchmark — not a retail price and not what you'd pay at the counter.

Why show this? Your out-of-pocket cost depends on insurance, pharmacy markup, and discounts — but the acquisition benchmark tells you whether the medication itself is inexpensive or costly, which strengths cost more per dose, and whether a cash-price quote is in a reasonable range.
