WHAT LUMIGAN 0.1 MG/ML IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
LUMIGAN is an antiglaucoma preparation. It belongs to a group of
medicines called prostamides.
LUMIGAN eye drops are used to reduce high pressure in the eye. This
medicine may be used on its
own or with other drops called beta-blockers which also reduce
pressure.
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. This medicine works by
increasing the amount of liquid
that is drained. This reduces the pressure inside the eye. If the high
pressure is not reduced, it could
lead to a disease called glaucoma and eventually damage your sight.
2.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU USE LUMIGAN 0.1 MG/ML
DO NOT USE LUMIGAN 0.1 MG/ML:

this medicine (listed in section
