Full prescribing information FDA SPL
🎯 Indications and Usage ▾
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE LATISSE ® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth including length, thickness and darkness. LATISSE ® is a prostaglandin analog, indicated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by increasing their growth including length, thickness and darkness. ( 1 )
⏱️ Dosage and Administration ▾
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Ensure the face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Once nightly, place one drop of LATISSE ® (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 LATISSE ® . Do not apply to the lower eyelash line [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 , 5.4 ) and Patient Counseling Information (17) ] . Additional applications of LATISSE ® 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. ( 2 )
💊 Dosage Forms and Strengths ▾

⛔ Contraindications ▾
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS LATISSE ® is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or to any of the ingredients [ see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ]. Hypersensitivity. ( 4 )
⚠️ Warnings and Cautions ▾
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Concurrent administration of LATISSE ® and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering prostaglandin analogs in ocular hypertensive patients may decrease the IOP-lowering effect. Patients using these products concomitantly should be closely monitored for changes to their IOP. ( 5.1 ) Pigmentation of the eyelids and iris may occur. Iris pigmentation is likely to be permanent. ( 5.2 , 5.3 )
5.1Effects on Intraocular Pressure Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution ( LUMIGAN ® ) lowers intraocular pressure (IOP) when instilled directly to the eye in patients with elevated IOP. In clinical trials, in patients with or without elevated IOP, LATISSE ® lowered IOP, however, the magnitude of the reduction was not cause for clinical concern. In ocular hypertension studies with LUMIGAN ® , it has been shown that exposure of the eye to more than one dose of bimatoprost daily may decrease the intraocular pressure lowering effect.
In patients using LUMIGAN ® or other prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure, the concomitant use of LATISSE ® may interfere with the desired reduction in IOP. Patients using prostaglandin analogs including LUMIGAN ® for IOP reduction should only use LATISSE ® after consulting with their physician and should be monitored for changes to their intraocular pressure.
5.2Iris Pigmentation Increased iris pigmentation has occurred when bimatoprost solution was administered. Patients should be advised about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent [see Adverse Reactions (6.2) ] . The pigmentation change is due to increased melanin content in the melanocytes rather than to an increase in the number of melanocytes.
The long term effects of increased pigmentation are not known. Iris color changes seen with administration of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution may not be noticeable for several months to years. Typically, the brown pigmentation around the pupil spreads concentrically towards the periphery of the iris and the entire iris or parts of the iris become more brownish.
Neither nevi nor freckles of the iris appear to be affected by treatment. Treatment with LATISSE ® solution can be continued in patients who develop noticeably increased iris pigmentation.
5.3Lid Pigmentation Bimatoprost has been reported to cause pigment changes (darkening) to periorbital pigmented tissues and eyelashes. The pigmentation is expected to increase as long as bimatoprost is administered, but has been reported to be reversible upon discontinuation of bimatoprost in most patients.
5.4Hair Growth Outside the Treatment Area There is the potential for hair growth to occur in areas where LATISSE ® solution comes in repeated contact with the skin surface. It is important to apply LATISSE ® only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes using the accompanying sterile applicators, and to carefully blot any excess LATISSE ® from the eyelid margin to avoid it running onto the cheek or other skin areas.
5.5Intraocular Inflammation LATISSE ® solution should be used with caution in patients with active intraocular inflammation (e.g., uveitis) because the inflammation may be exacerbated.
5.6Macular Edema Macular edema, including cystoid macular edema, has been reported during treatment with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution ( LUMIGAN ® ) for elevated IOP. LATISSE ® should be used with caution in aphakic patients, in pseudophakic patients with a torn posterior lens capsule, or in patients with known risk factors for macular edema.
5.7Contamination of LATISSE ® or Applicators The LATISSE ® bottle must be kept intact during use. It is important to use LATISSE ® solution as instructed, by placing one drop on the single-use-per-eye applicator. The bottle tip should not be allowed to contact any other surface since it could become contaminated.
The accompanying sterile applicators should only be used on one eye and then discarded since reuse of ap… [Excerpted — this section continues on DailyMed.]
🤒 Adverse Reactions ▾
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following adverse reactions are described elsewhere in the labeling: Effects on Intraocular Pressure [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) ] Iris Pigmentation [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Lid Pigmentation [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Hair Growth Outside the Treatment Area [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Intraocular Inflammation [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.5) ] Macular Edema [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] Hypersensitivity [ see Contraindications (4) ] Most common adverse reactions (incidence approximately 3% to 4%) are eye pruritus, conjunctival hyperemia, and skin hyperpigmentation.
( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact AbbVie at 1-800-678-1605 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
6.1Clinical Trial Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. The following information is based on clinical trial results from a multicenter, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel study including 278 adult patients for four months of treatment. The most frequently reported adverse reactions were eye pruritus, conjunctival hyperemia, skin hyperpigmentation, ocular irritation, dry eye symptoms, and periorbital erythema.
These reactions occurred in less than 4% of patients. Additional adverse reactions seen in clinical trials experience include foreign body sensation, hair growth abnormal, and iris hyperpigmentation. Additional adverse reactions reported with bimatoprost ophthalmic solution ( LUMIGAN ® ) for the reduction of intraocular pressure include, ocular dryness, visual disturbance, ocular burning, eye pain, blepharitis, cataract, superficial punctate keratitis, eye discharge, tearing, photophobia, allergic conjunctivitis, asthenopia, conjunctival edema, iritis, infections (primarily colds and upper respiratory tract infections), headaches, and asthenia.
6.2Postmarketing Experience The following adverse reactions have been identified during postapproval use of LATISSE ® . Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure. The reactions include dry skin of the eyelid and/or periocular area, eye swelling, eyelid edema, hordeolum, hypersensitivity (local allergic reactions), lacrimation increased, madarosis and trichorrhexis (temporary loss of a few lashes to loss of sections of eyelashes, and temporary eyelash breakage, respectively), periorbital and lid changes associated with periorbital fat atrophy and skin tightness resulting in deepening of eyelid sulcus and eyelid ptosis, rash (including macular and erythematous), skin discoloration (periorbital), skin exfoliation of the eyelid and/or periorbital area, trichiasis, and vision blurred.
👥 Use in Specific Populations ▾
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1Pregnancy Risk Summary There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of LATISSE ® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% administration in pregnant women. There is no increase in the risk of major birth defects or miscarriages based on bimatoprost postmarketing experience. In embryofetal development studies, administration of bimatoprost to pregnant mice and rats during organogenesis resulted in abortion and early delivery at oral doses at least 33 times (mice) or 94 times (rats) the human exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on the area under the curve (AUC).
These adverse effects were not observed at 2.6 times (mice) and 47 times (rats) the human exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC. In pre/postnatal development studies, administration of bimatoprost to pregnant rats from organogenesis to the end of lactation resulted in reduced gestation length and fetal body weight, and increased fetal and pup mortality at oral doses at least 41 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC.
No adverse effects were observed in rat offspring at exposures estimated at 14 times the human exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC. Because animal reproductive studies are not always predictive of human response LATISSE ® 0.03% should be administered during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Data Animal Data In an embryofetal development rat study, abortion was observed in pregnant rats administered bimatoprost orally during organogenesis at 0.6 mg/kg/day (94 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC).
The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for abortion was 0.3 mg/kg/day (estimated at 47 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily based on AUC). No abnormalities were observed in rat fetuses at doses up to 0.6 mg/kg/day. In an embryofetal development mouse study, abortion and early delivery were observed in pregnant mice administered bimatoprost orally during organogenesis at doses greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/kg/day (33 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC).
The NOAEL for abortion and early delivery was 0.1 mg/kg/day (2.6 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC). No abnormalities were observed in mouse fetuses at doses up to 0.6 mg/kg/day (72 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC). In a pre/postnatal development study, treatment of pregnant rats with bimatoprost orally from gestation day 7 to lactation day 20 resulted in reduced gestation length, increased late resorptions, fetal deaths, and postnatal pup mortality, and reduced pup body weight at doses greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/kg/day.
These effects were observed at exposures at least 41 times the human systemic exposure following topical ophthalmic administration of bimatoprost 0.03% to the cornea or conjunctival sac bilaterally once daily, based on AUC.

🧬 Clinical Pharmacology ▾
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1Mechanism of Action Bimatoprost is a structural prostaglandin analog. Although the precise mechanism of action is unknown, the growth of eyelashes is believed to occur by increasing the percent of hairs in, and the duration of the anagen or growth phase.
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption After one drop of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% was administered once daily into both eyes (cornea and/or conjunctival sac) of 15 healthy subjects for two weeks, blood concentrations peaked within 10 minutes after dosing and were below the lower limit of detection (0.025 ng/mL) in most subjects within 1.5 hours after dosing. Mean C max and AUC 0-24hr values were similar on days 7 and 14 at approximately 0.08 ng/mL and 0.09 ng●hr/mL, respectively, indicating that steady state was reached during the first week of ocular dosing.
There was no significant systemic drug accumulation over time. Distribution Bimatoprost is moderately distributed into body tissues with a steady-state volume of distribution of
0.67L/kg. In human blood, bimatoprost resides mainly in the plasma. Approximately 12% of bimatoprost remains unbound in human plasma.
Elimination Metabolism Bimatoprost is the major circulating species in the blood once it reaches the systemic circulation. Bimatoprost then undergoes oxidation, N-deethylation, and glucuronidation to form a diverse variety of metabolites. Excretion Following an intravenous dose of radiolabeled bimatoprost (3.12 mcg/kg) to six healthy subjects, the maximum blood concentration of unchanged drug was 12.2 ng/mL and decreased rapidly with an elimination half-life of approximately 45 minutes.
The total blood clearance of bimatoprost was
1.5L/hr/kg. Up to 67% of the administered dose was excreted in the urine while 25% of the dose was recovered in the feces.

💬 Information for Patients ▾
17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling ( Patient Information ). Nightly Application Inform patients that LATISSE ® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) should be applied every night using only the accompanying sterile applicators. They should start by ensuring their face is clean, all makeup is removed, and their contact lenses removed (if applicable).
Then, carefully place one drop of LATISSE ® solution on the disposable sterile applicator and brush cautiously along the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes. If any LATISSE ® solution gets into the eye proper, it will not cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed.
Additional applications of LATISSE ® will not increase the growth of eyelashes. Inform patients not to apply to the lower eyelash line. Any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material.
The onset of effect is gradual but is not significant in the majority of patients until 2 months. Counsel patients that the effect is not permanent and can be expected to gradually return to the original level upon discontinuation of treatment with LATISSE ® . Handling the Bottle and Applicator Instruct patients that the LATISSE ® bottle must be maintained intact and to avoid allowing the tip of the bottle or applicator to contact surrounding structures, fingers, or any other unintended surface in order to avoid contamination of the bottle or applicator by common bacteria known to cause ocular infections.
Instruct patients to only use the applicator supplied with the product once and then discard since reuse could result in using a contaminated applicator. Serious infections may result from using contaminated solutions or applicators. Potential for Intraocular Pressure Effects LATISSE ® may lower intraocular pressure although not to a level that will cause clinical harm.
In patients using LUMIGAN ® or other prostaglandin analogs for the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure, the concomitant use of LATISSE ® may interfere with the desired reduction in IOP. Patients using prostaglandin analogs for IOP reduction should only use LATISSE ® after consulting with their physician. Potential for Eyelid Skin Darkening Inform patients about the possibility of eyelid skin darkening, which may be reversible after discontinuation of LATISSE ® .
Potential for Iris Darkening Advise patients about the potential for increased brown iris pigmentation which is likely to be permanent. Increased iris pigmentation has occurred when bimatoprost solution was administered. Potential for Unexpected Hair Growth or Eyelash Changes Inform patients of the possibility of hair growth occurring outside of the target treatment area if LATISSE ® repeatedly touches the same area of skin outside the treatment area.
They should also be informed of the possibility of disparity between eyes in length, thickness, pigmentation, number of eyelashes or vellus hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth. Eyelash changes are likely reversible upon discontinuation of treatment. When to Seek Physician Advice Advise patients that if they develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, they should immediately seek their physician’s advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE ® .
Patients on IOP-lowering medications should not use LATISSE ® without prior consultation with their physician. Contact Lens Use Advise patients that LATISSE ® solution contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be absorbed by and cause discoloration of soft contact lenses. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of LATISSE ® and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration.

🧬 Pharmacokinetics ▾
12.3Pharmacokinetics Absorption After one drop of bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% was administered once daily into both eyes (cornea and/or conjunctival sac) of 15 healthy subjects for two weeks, blood concentrations peaked within 10 minutes after dosing and were below the lower limit of detection (0.025 ng/mL) in most subjects within 1.5 hours after dosing. Mean C max and AUC 0-24hr values were similar on days 7 and 14 at approximately 0.08 ng/mL and 0.09 ng●hr/mL, respectively, indicating that steady state was reached during the first week of ocular dosing.
There was no significant systemic drug accumulation over time. Distribution Bimatoprost is moderately distributed into body tissues with a steady-state volume of distribution of
0.67L/kg. In human blood, bimatoprost resides mainly in the plasma. Approximately 12% of bimatoprost remains unbound in human plasma.
Elimination Metabolism Bimatoprost is the major circulating species in the blood once it reaches the systemic circulation. Bimatoprost then undergoes oxidation, N-deethylation, and glucuronidation to form a diverse variety of metabolites. Excretion Following an intravenous dose of radiolabeled bimatoprost (3.12 mcg/kg) to six healthy subjects, the maximum blood concentration of unchanged drug was 12.2 ng/mL and decreased rapidly with an elimination half-life of approximately 45 minutes.
The total blood clearance of bimatoprost was
1.5L/hr/kg. Up to 67% of the administered dose was excreted in the urine while 25% of the dose was recovered in the feces.
🔬 Clinical Studies ▾
14 CLINICAL STUDIES LATISSE ® solution was evaluated for its effect on overall eyelash prominence in a multicenter, double-masked, randomized, vehicle-controlled, parallel study including 278 adult patients for four months of treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint in this study was an increase in overall eyelash prominence as measured by at least a 1-grade increase on the 4-point Global Eyelash Assessment (GEA) scale, from baseline to the end of the treatment period (week 16). LATISSE ® was more effective than vehicle as measured by the GEA score, with statistically significant differences seen at 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week ( primary endpoint ) treatment durations.

There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your physician about your treatment.
What is hypotrichosis of the eyelashes? Hypotrichosis is another name for having inadequate or not enough eyelashes. What is LATISSE ® solution?
LATISSE ® solution is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis used to grow eyelashes, making them longer, thicker and darker. Who should NOT take LATISSE ® ? Do not use LATISSE ® solution if you are allergic to one of its ingredients.
Are there any special warnings associated with LATISSE ® use? LATISSE ® solution is intended for use on the skin of the upper eyelid margins at the base of the eyelashes . Refer to Illustration 2 below.
DO NOT APPLY to the lower eyelid. If you are using LUMIGAN ® or other products in the same class for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), or if you have a history of abnormal IOP, you should only use LATISSE ® under the close supervision of your physician. LATISSE ® use may cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be reversible.
LATISSE ® use may also cause increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent. It is possible for hair growth to occur in other areas of your skin that LATISSE ® frequently touches. Any excess solution outside the upper eyelid margin should be blotted with a tissue or other absorbent material to reduce the chance of this from happening.
It is also possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation, number of eyelash hairs, and/or direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop using LATISSE ® . Who should I tell that I am using LATISSE ® ?
You should tell your physician you are using LATISSE ® especially if you have a history of eye pressure problems. You should also tell anyone conducting an eye pressure screening that you are using LATISSE ® . What should I do if I get LATISSE ® in my eye?
LATISSE ® solution is an ophthalmic drug product. LATISSE ® is not expected to cause harm if it gets into the eye proper. Do not attempt to rinse your eye in this situation.
What are the possible side effects of LATISSE ® ? The most common side effects after using LATISSE ® solution are an itching sensation in the eyes and/or eye redness. This was reported in approximately 4% of patients.
LATISSE ® solution may cause other less common side effects which typically occur on the skin close to where LATISSE ® is applied, or in the eyes. These include skin darkening, eye irritation, dryness of the eyes, and redness of the eyelids. If you develop a new ocular condition (e.g., trauma or infection), experience a sudden decrease in visual acuity, have ocular surgery, or develop any ocular reactions, particularly conjunctivitis and eyelid reactions, you should immediately seek your physician’s advice concerning the continued use of LATISSE ® solution.
What happens if I stop using LATISSE ® ? If you stop using LATISSE ® , your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months. Any eyelid skin darkening is expected to reverse after several weeks to months.
Any darkening of the colored part of the eye known as the iris is NOT expected to reverse and is likely permanent. How do I use LATISSE ® ? The recommended dosage is one application nightly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes only.
Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE ® on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip (see Illustration 1).
