Lumigan

Lumigan is a prescription eye drop containing bimatoprost, a synthetic prostaglandin analog. It is used to lower high pressure inside the eye by increasing the natural outflow of ocular fluid.

Dosage by Body Weight

The recommended dosage is one drop in the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening. Do not exceed once-daily dosing, as more frequent administration may decrease the intraocular pressure-lowering effect.
