WHAT BIMATOPROST / TIMOLOL BGR IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Bimatoprost / Timolol BGR contains two different active substances
(bimatoprost and timolol) that both
reduce pressure in the eye. Bimatoprost belongs to a group of
medicines called prostamides, a prostaglandin
analogue. Timolol belongs to a group of medicines called
beta-blockers.
Your eye contains a clear, watery liquid that feeds the inside of the
eye. Liquid is constantly being drained
out of the eye and new liquid is made to replace this. If the liquid
cannot drain out quickly enough, the
pressure inside the eye builds up and could eventually damage your
sight (an illness called glaucoma).
Bimatoprost / Timolol BGR works by reducing the production of liquid
and also increasing the amount of
liquid that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye.
Bimatoprost / Timolol BGR eye drops are used to treat high pressure in
the eye in adults, including the
elderly. This high pressure can lead to glaucoma. Your doctor will
prescribe you Bimatoprost / Timolol BGR
when other eye drops c

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Recommended dosage in adults (including older people) _
The recommended dose is one drop of Bimatoprost / Timolol BGR in the
affected eye(s) once daily,
administered either in the morning or in the evening. It should be
administered at the same time each day.
Existing literature data for bimatoprost/timolol suggest that evening
dosing may be more effective in IOP
lowering than morning dosing. However, consideration should be given
to the likelihood of compliance
when considering either morning or evening dosing (see section 5.1).
If one dose is missed, treatment should continue with the next dose as
planned. The dose should not exceed
one drop in the affected eye(s) daily.
_Renal and hepatic impairment _
Bimatoprost/timolol has not been studied in patients with hepatic or
renal impairment. Therefore caution
should be used in treating such patients.
_Paediatric population _
The safety and efficacy of bimatoprost/timolol in children aged 0 to
18 years has not been established. No
data are available.
Method of administration
If more than one topical ophthalmic medicinal product is to be used,
each one should be instilled at least 5
minutes apart.
