Bimadon 0.3mg Eye Drop
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Bimadon 0.3mg Eye Drop is a medicine used to reduce pressure in the eyes in adults with glaucoma and high pressure in the eye. If the pressure in your eye is too high it can damage your sight, potentially leading to blindness. It works by helping fluid flow from inside the eye into the blood.
Bimadon 0.3mg Eye Drop may also be used to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes (inadequate amount of eyelashes). It is suitable for adults and children and can be used by itself or in combination with other eye medicines to reduce pressure. Follow the instructions given by your doctor and use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit. If you stop using it, pressure in the eye could increase and damage your sight. Never use a bottle if the seal is broken before you use it for the first time. Make sure you remove contact lenses if you wear them and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back.
The most common side effects of Bimadon 0.3mg Eye Drop include allergic conjunctivitis, eye pain, blurred vision, and dryness of eyes. If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor. They may be able to tell you ways of reducing or preventing some side effects or suggest another treatment. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. This is usually a short term side effect.

Benefits of Bimadon Eye Drop
In Glaucoma
Bimadon 0.3mg Eye Drop helps reduce pressure in your eyes (ocular hypertension) that can lead to an illness called glaucoma. It may be used alone or with other eye drops.

In Ocular hypertension

Take it regularly as prescribed by your doctor. If you stop taking it, the pressure in your eye will not be controlled.
