What is Careprost?
Careprost is an ophthalmic solution that contains 0.03% w/v Bimatoprost. Bimatoprost belongs to a group of chemical substances called prostamides or prostaglandins analogs. It usually comes in a 3ml bottle. Prostaglandins work by surging the drainage of fluid from the aqueous humor of the eyes to the bloodstream.
Careprost is applied in the treatment and management of glaucoma (open-angle glaucoma), loss of eyelashes, and other conditions that cause high pressure within the eyes (intraocular hypertension).
Glaucoma is a degenerative condition that damages the optic nerve of the eyes. It occurs when there is an accumulation of fluid in the eyes. The increased fluid build-up leads to more pressure being exerted upon the optic nerves thereby causing the degenerative processes. This degeneration of the nerves can lead to partial or total blindness if not properly managed.
Careprost works by ensuring continuous and controlled draining of the fluid in the aqueous humor of the eye into the bloodstream. It decreases the accumulation of fluid and intraocular hypertension.
Indications for Careprost
Careprost is used to treat or manage the following conditions:
- Open-angle glaucoma
- Insufficient eyelashes
- Intraocular hypertension
Direction for Use and Dosage
The eye drop is for ophthalmic use alone. It should not be taken by mouth or swallowed. Also, you should clean your hands properly before opening the bottle.
After opening the lid, tilt your head backward or lie down on your bed or couch whilst using an index finger and thumb to slightly push/pull up the eyelid of the affected eye. This will reveal the eyes properly for the drops to be carefully applied.
With your second finger, instill 1 to 2 drops of Careprost and close your eyes for up to 2 mins so that the drug will be evenly distributed. Ensure the tip of the bottle does not come in contact with your finger or eyes so as not to cause contamination. Contaminations may cause infections in the eye.
Cover the bottle after instilling the drops and wash your hands after use.
If you use contact lenses, remove them before instilling the drops and stay for a minimum of 20 minutes after applying the drops before putting back your contact lenses. The drug is applied once a day, and suitably in the evening time or just before going to sleep.
Careprost is a life-long medication. You should not stop taking it unless your doctor instructs you. Do inform a doctor if you stop or plan to stop using it.

Drug Interactions
Virtually all drugs or chemical substances have the tendency to interact with other drugs, beverages (food/alcohol), and disease conditions at varying degrees in different individuals. And Careprost is not an exception.
The exact type or degree of severity of Careprost interactions with alcohol is not clearly defined. However, as a rule, you should not take Careprost with alcohol.
Careprost interacts moderately with the following disease conditions:
- Macular Edema: this refers to the accumulation of fluid in the middle of the retina. It occurs when blood from blood vessels leaks into the retina of the eye. This results in swelling of the retina which can cause visual impairment. Hence people with this condition should use Careprost with caution.

- Hepatic /renal conditions ( kidney impairment): The drug is metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys after it has been systemically absorbed. Care needs to be taken while administering Careprost in patients with renal impairment.
