1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% is indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03% is a prostaglandin analog indicated for the reduction of elevated intraocular pressure in patients with open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension. ( 1 )
Mechanism. 12.1 Mechanism of Action Bimatoprost, a prostaglandin analog, is a synthetic structural analog of prostaglandin with ocular hypotensive activity. It selectively mimics the effects of naturally occurring substances, prostamides. Bimatoprost is believed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in humans by increasing outflow of aqueous humor through both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral routes. Elevated IOP presents a major risk factor for glaucomatous field loss. The higher the level of IOP, the greater the likelihood of optic nerve damage and visual field loss.
What stands out in the reports.
ROR = reporting odds ratio (log-schaal). Een waarde boven 1 betekent dat het symptoom vaker wordt gemeld voor dit product dan voor alle andere producten samen. Dit meet hoeveel het opvalt in meldingen — geen causaliteit, geen risico.
Bimatoprost muestra una notificación desproporcionada de pigmentación palpebral y crecimiento de pestañas (ROR 904.1 y 441.6, respectivamente). Esto es lógico, ya que el bimatoprost es un análogo de prostaglandina que estimula el crecimiento del folículo piloso y la melanogénesis. El aumento de lagrimeo y la tricorrexis también se notifican con frecuencia. Recuerde: "notificado con frecuencia" no es lo mismo que "causado con frecuencia". Esto no sustituye el consejo médico.
