LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML

How LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML Works

• LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML is a medication classified as a prostaglandin analogue. This means it belongs to a group of drugs that mimic the effects of naturally occurring prostaglandins in the body. Specifically, LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML is designed to address elevated pressure within the eye, a condition often associated with glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
• The primary mechanism of action of LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML involves increasing the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. Aqueous humor is a clear fluid that fills the space between the cornea and the lens. It nourishes these structures and maintains the eye's shape. In a healthy eye, aqueous humor is continuously produced and drained, maintaining a stable intraocular pressure.
• However, in conditions like glaucoma, the drainage pathway for aqueous humor becomes obstructed, leading to a buildup of fluid and increased pressure inside the eye. This elevated pressure can damage the optic nerve, which transmits visual information from the eye to the brain, potentially leading to vision loss.
• LUMIGAN EYE 0.01% DROPS 3 ML works by widening the drainage channels, allowing more aqueous humor to flow out of the eye. By increasing this outflow, the medication helps to lower the intraocular pressure, reducing the risk of damage to the optic nerve and preserving vision.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them.

• To prevent dilution of medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes before administering any other eye drops in the same eye. This ensures each medication has enough time to be absorbed properly.
