Bimatoprost is a medication used to treat glaucoma by lowering pressure in the eye, and it is also used to promote eyelash growth. It works by increasing the flow of fluid out of the eye, reducing the risk of vision loss.
Bimatoprost is a synthetic prostamide (structurally related to prostaglandin F₂α / prostamides), not acting through classic prostaglandin (FP) receptors. Its exact receptor is not definitively identified. Its ocular hypotensive effect is achieved by increasing outflow of aqueous humour from the eye via both the trabecular meshwork and uveoscleral pathways, thereby lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). When used for eyelash growth (hypotrichosis), bimatoprost is believed to prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, thereby increasing length, thickness, and darkness of eyelashes.
