Vistitan How to Take

Vistitan (Bimatoprost) belongs to a class of medications called prostamides. It is available in eye-drop form and is used to reduce the pressure inside the eye for people with open-angle Glaucoma or intraocular hypertension (increased pressure in the eye).

Fluid is constantly being formed and drained out of the eye. When this fluid does not drain out of the eye properly, pressure inside the eye increases. Vistitan (Bimatoprost) works by increasing the flow of fluid out of the eye. It starts to work within 4 hours after being instilled in the eye.

Vistitan (Bimatoprost) may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Vistitan (Bimatoprost) may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Vistitan (Bimatoprost) may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Vistitan (Bimatoprost) for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are being given this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop using Vistitan (Bimatoprost) without consulting your doctor.

Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to use this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.

Vistitan Dosage

The recommended dose of Vistitan (Bimatoprost) is one drop in the affected eye(s) in the evening. Vistitan (Bimatoprost) should not be used more than once a day, since using this  medication more often than once a day may cause it to be less effective in lowering the pressure in the eye.

Many things can affect the dose of a medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important that Vistitan (Bimatoprost) be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

To use the eye drops:

  1. Wash your hands before using the eye drops.
  2. Remove the cap and place it in a clean location. To avoid possible contamination, keep the tip of the container away from contact with any surface.
  3. Tilt the head back and look towards the ceiling.
  4. With your index finger, gently pull the lower eyelid down and away from the eye to form a pouch.
  5. Apply one drop into the pouch but do not allow the tip of the container to touch the eye or areas around the eye.
  6. Gently apply pressure to the inner corner of the eye (at the bridge of the nose) for about 30 seconds (this is called nasolacrimal occlusion). This prevents the medication from dripping down through the tear duct and entering the bloodstream, which could cause you to experience some side effects.
  7. Repeat with the other eye, if prescribed by your physician.
  8. Wash your hands again to remove any medication.

Do not allow the dropper tip of the bottle to touch the eye or other surrounding structures. This can contaminate the tip with common bacteria known to cause Eye Infections. Serious damage to the eye may result if you use eye drop solutions that have become contaminated.

If you are using other eye drops, apply them at least 5 minutes apart.

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before instilling Vistitan (Bimatoprost) into your eye. You may put your contact lenses back in 15 minutes after using the medication.

If you miss a dose, instill it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not instill a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Vistitan (Bimatoprost) at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children. Safely discard any medication remaining in the dropper bottle 30 days after first opening the bottle.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
