Frequently asked questions FOR Bimaton T
Bimatoprost
Q. Does Bimatoprost work on eyebrows?
No, Bimatoprost is not made for the growth of eyebrows. This medicine is used to treat hypotrichosis (less than normal amount of hair) of the eyelashes. It promotes the growth of longer, thicker and darker eyelashes.
Q. How do you apply Bimatoprost for eyelash growth?
Bimatoprost is recommended to be used once every night. It should be applied to the skin of the upper eyelid at the base of eyelashes. The face should be clean and any makeup should be removed. It should not be applied to the lower eyelid. Use a tissue paper to blot away any excess solution or other absorbent material outside the upper eyelid margin.
Q. What happens if I stop using Bimatoprost?
If you stop using Bimatoprost, the eyelashes may return to their previous appearance after several weeks or months. In case you have developed any eyelid skin darkening, it may reverse after several weeks or months. However, any change in the color of the iris is permanent and will not reverse.
Timolol
Q. What does Timolol do?
Timolol reduces the pressure inside the eyes, known as intraocular pressure. This helps to reduce the risk of damage to the optic nerve which is responsible for normal vision. If the pressure in the eye is not controlled, it can gradually with time lead to blindness. Timolol effectively controls ocular hypertension and certain types of glaucoma by decreasing the pressure in the eyes.
Q. How should you use Timolol?
Timolol eye drops are usually instilled once or twice a day at evenly spaced intervals until the pressure in the eye is controlled (about 4 weeks). After that, it can be instilled once a day or as advised by the doctor. Follow the directions of your doctor carefully, and ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand. Use Timolol in the dose and duration advised by your doctor.
Q. Can I stop Timolol if I am fine now?
No, you should not stop using Timolol without consulting your doctor. If you stop taking this medicine suddenly, the pressure in your eyes may not be controlled which may increase the risk of loss of sight.
