Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analog used to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes and intraocular pressure in open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
Bimatoprost imitates the effects of prostamides, specifically prostaglandin F2α. Bimatoprost mildly stimulates aqueous humor outflow, relieving elevated intraocular pressure and decreasing the risk of optic nerve damage. It is thought that bimatoprost reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) in humans by causing an increase in outflow of the aqueous humor via the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways. It achieves the above effects by decreasing tonographic resistance to aqueous humor outflow. Bimatoprost does not affect aqueous humor production.
Bimatoprost is used for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. These patients must be intolerant to other intraocular pressure lowering medications or inadequately responsive to other treatments. Bimatoprost is also indicated to treat eyelash hypotrichosis.
