Before starting treatment, patients should be informed about the possible increase in eyelashes, increased pigmentation of the eyelash skin and pigmentation of the iris, since these effects have been established during studies of the drug Bimatoprost. Some changes may be permanent and may be accompanied by differences between the eyes if the instillation of the drug was carried out only in one eye.
The use of Bimatoprost in patients with impaired respiratory function has not been studied, and therefore it should be prescribed with caution to this group of patients. In the course of clinical studies in patients with impaired respiratory function, there were no significant adverse effects on respiratory function in the anamnesis.
The use of Bimatoprost in patients with heart block or with uncontrolled congestive heart failure has not been investigated. Bimatoprost should be used with caution in patients prone to low heart rate or low blood pressure.
