Patient summary
Bimatoprost eye drops in a 3ml bottle, used in the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. A structural prostaglandin F2-alpha analogue.
Mechanism of action
Bimatoprost is a structural prostaglandin analogue that mimics the effects of naturally occurring prostaglandins, increasing the outflow of aqueous humour from the eye and thereby reducing intraocular pressure effectively.
Storage instructions
Store at room temperature not exceeding 25°C, keep the container tightly closed and protected from light.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Pregnancy: Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the foetus. Breastfeeding: Discontinue during treatment.

Buying Lumigan online
For expats and residents located far from a reliable medical supplier, ordering online provides consistent access. While generic bimatoprost manufactured in India is often more affordable, many users prefer using the original product for their ocular routine.
Will I receive the original Lumigan?

How is Lumigan priced?
It depends on the strength and pack. Lumigan comes as 3ml bottles, in packs of 1 to 6 bottles, and the price per bottle for every option is shown above, in US dollars or the currency you choose. Larger packs cost less per bottle. Paying with Bitcoin or Ethereum gives you an extra 10% off.
Is Lumigan sold under other names?
