What is Careprost?
Careprost is a Bimatoprost 0.03% ophthalmic solution used for:
✔ Eyelash Growth Enhancement – Helps grow longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes in people with hypotrichosis (inadequate lash growth).
✔ Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension Treatment – Reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) to prevent optic nerve damage and vision loss.
How Careprost Works:
✔ For Eyelash Growth: Extends the growth phase of eyelash hair follicles, leading to longer, fuller, and darker lashes over time.
✔ For Glaucoma/Ocular Hypertension: Increases the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye, reducing intraocular pressure and preventing damage to the optic nerve.
Dosage & Application:
✔ For Eyelash Growth Enhancement:
- Apply one drop on a sterile applicator and gently spread along the upper eyelid lash line (once daily, preferably at night).
- Do not apply to the lower lash line to avoid unwanted hair growth.
- Visible results in 8 to 12 weeks with consistent use.
✔ For Glaucoma & Ocular Hypertension:
- Instill one drop into the affected eye(s) once daily in the evening.
- Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contamination.
