Bimatoprost/Timolol STADA
Bimatoprost/Timolol Stada eye drops lower high pressure inside your eyes, which helps treat glaucoma.
How to Use
Dosage
One drop once a day.
Method
Wash your hands. Twist off the cap. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket. Tilt the single-dose container and squeeze one drop into the affected eye(s). Close your eye and press gently on the inner corner for 2 minutes to help the medicine stay in your eye. Throw away the single-dose container after use. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using these drops and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between applying each medicine.
Do not use more than one drop per day in each affected eye. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, then continue with your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose.
