Lumigan RC Eye Drops 0.1mg/ml – Bimatoprost 0.01%, 3ml
Lumigan RC Eye Drops 0.1mg/ml is an antiglaucoma preparation that belongs to a group of medicines called prostamides. This medicine may be used on its own or with other drops called beta-blockers which also reduce pressure. Lumigan Eye Drops 0.1mg/ml can help reduce high pressure in the eye, resulting in improved vision for those suffering from glaucoma and other eye conditions.
What is the difference between Lumigan RC Eye Drops and Lumigan Eye drops?
The preservative, benzalkonium chloride strength in Lumigan RC is 0.02% (0.2 mg/mL).
The preservative, benzalkonium chloride strength in Lumigan eye drops is 0.005% (0.05 mg/mL).
It is advisable to use eye drops for dry eyes if you are using Lumigan RC eye drops because of the higher preservative concentration.
What is Glaucoma?
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.

How to Use
How to use Lumigan RC Eye Drops 0.1mg/ml
Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
LUMIGAN should only be applied to the eye. The recommended dose is one drop of LUMIGAN in the evening, once daily in each eye that needs treatment.
If you use LUMIGAN with another eye medicine, wait at least five minutes between using LUMIGAN and the other eye medicine.
Do not use more than once a day as the effectiveness of treatment may be reduced.
You must not use the bottle if the tamper-proof seal on the bottle neck is broken before you first use it.
1. Wash your hands. Tilt your head back and look at the ceiling.
2. Gently pull down the lower eyelid until there is a small pocket.
3. Turn the bottle upside down and squeeze it to release one drop into each eye that needs treatment.
4. Let go of the lower lid, and close your eye for 30 seconds.
Wipe off any excess that runs down the cheek.
If a drop misses your eye, try again.
To help prevent infections and avoid eye injury, do not let the tip of the bottle touch your eye or anything else. Put the cap back on and close the bottle straight after you have used it.
If you use more LUMIGAN than you should, it is unlikely to cause you any serious harm. Put your next dose in at the usual time. If you are worried, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
If you forget to use LUMIGAN, use a single drop as soon as you remember, and then go back to your regular routine. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose.
LUMIGAN should be used every day to work properly. If you stop using LUMIGAN the pressure inside your eye may go up, therefore talk to your doctor before stopping this treatment.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Product Details
Product Information Lumigan RC Eye Drops 0.1mg/ml
- if you are allergic to bimatoprost or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
- if you have had to stop using eye drops in the past because of a side effect of the preservative benzalkonium chloride.
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you use LUMIGAN 0.1 mg/ml
Talk to your doctor, if:
- You have any breathing problems
- You have liver or kidney problems
- You have had a cataract surgery in the past
- You have dry eye
- You have or have had any problems with your cornea (front transparent part of the eye)
- You wear contact lenses (see “LUMIGAN 0.1 mg/ml contains benzalkonium chloride”)
- You have or have had low blood pressure or low heart rate
- You have had a viral infection or inflammation of the eye
During treatment, LUMIGAN may cause a loss of fat around the eye, which may cause your eyelid crease to deepen, your eye to appear sunken (enophthalmos), your upper eyelid to droop (ptosis), the skin around your eye to tighten (involution of dermatochalasis) and the lower white part of your eye to become more visible (inferior scleral show). The changes are typically mild, but if pronounced, they can affect your field of vision. The changes may disappear if you stop taking LUMIGAN. LUMIGAN may also cause your eyelashes to darken and grow, and cause the skin around the eyelid to darken too. The colour of your iris may also go darker. These changes may be permanent. The changes may be more noticeable if you are only treating one eye.
LUMIGAN has not been tested in children under the age of 18 and therefore should not be used by patients under 18 years.
Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines.
If you are pregnant or breast feeding, think you might be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
LUMIGAN may get into breast milk so you should not breast-feed while you are taking LUMIGAN.
Your sight may become blurred for a short time just after using LUMIGAN. You should not drive or use machines until your sight is clear again.
This medicine contains 0.6 mg benzalkonium chloride in each 3 ml of solution which is equivalent to 0.2 mg/ml.
Do not use the drops when you are wearing your lenses. A preservative in LUMIGAN, called benzalkonium chloride may be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may change the colour of the contact lenses. You should remove contact lenses before using this medicine and wait 15 minutes after using the drops before you put your lenses back in. Benzalkonium chloride may also cause eye irritation, especially if you have dry eyes or disorders of the cornea (the clear layer at the front of the eye). If you feel abnormal eye sensation, stinging or pain in the eye after using this medicine, talk to your doctor.
