Bimatoprost is a synthetic (man-made) drug that resembles and mimics the effects of natural chemicals (prostaglandins) produced by the body.
It is used for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and increasing the growth of eyelashes.
Bimatoprost may reduce IOP by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye of individuals with narrow angle glaucoma. Excessive aqueous humor may cause optic nerve damage and visual loss.
It may increase eyelash growth by increasing the duration of the growing phase of the eyelash.
The FDA approved Lumigan in March 2001 and Latisse in December 2008.
