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.
Lumigan contains bimatoprost, an active substance used for the management of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. The solution is supplied in a 3ml bottle. This treatment targets elevated intraocular pressure, providing a standard option for those requiring consistent eye health support.
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.
Do I get the original Lumigan?
No. SGMeds ships a generic with the same active ingredient (bimatoprost) at the same strength, not the original Lumigan made by Allergan. We use the brand name so you can find the medicine, and the generic's manufacturer varies with stock.
How is Lumigan priced?
Lumigan comes as 3ml bottles, in packs of 1 to 6 bottles. Each option's price is shown on this page in Singapore dollars, converted from US dollars, so the exchange rate can change the final amount. Larger packs work out cheaper per bottle.
