Careprost 3ml With Brush

Careprost 3ml With Brush:-

Careprost 3ml With Brush contains Bimatoprost 0.03% as its active ingredient. Bimatoprost belongs to a class of medicines called prostaglandin analogues. Careprost is manufactured by Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd, one of India’s most trusted and reputable pharmaceutical companies. It is a well-known and widely used solution that serves a dual purpose. It is medically approved for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension by lowering raised pressure inside the eye. It is also clinically recognised for the treatment of hypotrichosis of the eyelashes, a condition where eyelashes are thin, short, or insufficient. The product comes as a 3ml sterile solution and includes an applicator brush specifically designed for safe and precise application along the upper eyelid lash line when used for eyelash growth. Careprost must be used under the guidance of a qualified doctor and should not be used without a valid medical prescription.

Uses of Careprost 3ml with Brush:-

Careprost 3ml With Brush is used for the following conditions:

• Open-Angle Glaucoma: Reduces raised intraocular pressure in patients with the most common form of glaucoma to protect the optic nerve and preserve vision.
• Ocular Hypertension: Lowers eye pressure in patients where pressure is above normal range but has not yet caused optic nerve damage or vision loss.
• Hypotrichosis of Eyelashes: Treats a medical condition where eyelashes are inadequate, sparse, thin, or shorter than normal, promoting the growth of longer, thicker, and darker lashes.
• Eyelash Enhancement under Medical Supervision: Used by patients who have experienced eyelash loss due to medical treatments such as chemotherapy, under doctor guidance.
• Prevention of Optic Nerve Damage: Long-term use for glaucoma helps maintain safe eye pressure and reduces the risk of progressive optic nerve damage and permanent vision loss.

How does It Work?

Careprost 3ml works through the active ingredient Bimatoprost which works differently depending on the purpose of use.

For Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension: The eye constantly produces a fluid called aqueous humour inside the ciliary body. In glaucoma this fluid does not drain properly causing pressure to build up inside the eye. Bimatoprost mimics the action of a naturally occurring substance called prostamide and works by increasing the drainage of aqueous humour primarily through the uveoscleral pathway, an alternative drainage route in the eye. As more fluid drains out the pressure inside the eye drops to a safer level. This protects the optic nerve from pressure-related damage and helps preserve long-term vision.

For Eyelash Hypotrichosis: Hair grows in cycles including a growth phase called anagen, a transitional phase, and a resting phase. Bimatoprost is believed to work on eyelash hair follicles by extending the active growth phase of the hair cycle and increasing the number of hairs actively growing at any one time. This results in eyelashes that appear longer, fuller, and darker over time with regular nightly application along the upper lash line using the provided brush.

How to Use?

For Glaucoma (Eye Drop Application):

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before use.
2. Tilt your head gently backwards and look upward.
3. Pull down your lower eyelid with one clean finger to create a small pocket.
4. Hold the bottle above the eye without touching the eye surface and squeeze one drop into the pocket.
5. Close your eye gently and press the inner corner lightly for 1 to 2 minutes to reduce systemic drainage.
6. Wipe away any extra liquid with a clean tissue.
7. Repeat for the other eye if needed and replace the cap securely.

For Eyelash Growth (Brush Application):

1. Remove all makeup and contact lenses and ensure the face is completely clean before application.
2. Place one drop of Careprost solution onto the sterile applicator brush provided in the pack.
3. Draw the brush carefully along the base of the upper eyelid lash line from the inner corner to the outer corner, similar to applying eyeliner.
4. Blot any excess solution that spreads beyond the lash line immediately with a clean dry tissue.
5. Do not apply to the lower eyelid lash line.
6. Use a fresh applicator brush for each application to maintain hygiene and sterility.
7. Apply once every night before going to bed for best results.

Dosage of Careprost 3ml with Brush:-

The dosage of Careprost 3ml depends on the purpose of use as guided by the treating doctor.

• For Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension: 1 drop in the affected eye or both eyes, once daily in the evening or at bedtime. Using more than once daily does not improve effectiveness and may reduce the pressure-lowering effect.
• For Eyelash Hypotrichosis: Apply once nightly along the upper eyelid lash line using the applicator brush. Results are typically visible after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent use with full results seen at around 12 to 16 weeks.
• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, apply it the same evening when remembered. If the next evening has already arrived, skip the missed application and continue with the regular nightly routine. Never double the dose to make up for a missed application.

Always follow the exact dosage and schedule recommended by your doctor for safe and effective results.

Precautions & Safety:-

Please read the following important precautions before using Careprost 3ml With Brush:

• Prescription Only: Careprost is a prescription medicine. Always use under the supervision of a qualified eye doctor. Do not use without a valid prescription.
• Eyelash and Iris Colour Changes: Bimatoprost can cause permanent darkening of the iris colour and gradual darkening of the skin around the eyelid with prolonged use. These changes may be irreversible even after stopping the medicine. Discuss this with your doctor.
• Avoid Skin Contact During Glaucoma Use: When using as a glaucoma eye drop, avoid getting the solution on the skin around the eye repeatedly to prevent unwanted skin darkening and hair growth in those areas.
• Lower Eyelid Application: When using the brush for eyelash growth, apply only to the upper eyelid lash line. Do not apply to the lower lash line as the solution will naturally spread to the lower lid when blinking.
• Contact Lenses: Remove contact lenses before applying the drop or brush solution. Wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in.
• Driving and Machinery: Avoid driving immediately after eye drop application due to temporary blurred vision.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Use only if clearly necessary and under strict medical supervision.
• Children: Not recommended for use in children and adolescents below 18 years of age without specialist supervision.
• One Sided Glaucoma Treatment: If used in only one eye for glaucoma, differences in eyelash length, thickness, and possibly iris colour may gradually develop between the two eyes.
• Sterility of Brush: Always use a fresh sterile applicator brush for each application when using for eyelash growth. Reusing brushes increases the risk of eye infection.
• Inflammation History: Use with caution in patients with a history of uveitis or inflammation inside the eye as prostaglandin analogues may occasionally worsen intraocular inflammation.
• Do Not Share: Never share this product with another person. Sharing eye drops or applicator brushes can spread eye infections.
• Other Medicines: Inform your doctor about all other medicines and eye drops currently in use to avoid interactions.

Storage of Careprost 3ml with Brush:-

• Store at room temperature between 2°C to 25°C.
• Keep the bottle away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and damp or humid environments.
• Do not freeze the solution under any circumstances.
• Always keep the bottle cap tightly closed after every use.
• Store the applicator brushes in a clean and dry place away from dust and contamination.
• Store safely out of reach of children and pets at all times.
• Do not use after the expiry date clearly printed on the bottle or outer carton.
• Discard the bottle 28 days after first opening even if solution still remains.
• Do not dispose of medicines in household waste bins or down the drain. Ask your pharmacist for guidance on safe disposal of unused medicines.

FAQs of Careprost 3ml with Brush?

1. How long does it take to see eyelash growth results with Careprost 3ml?

Most patients begin to notice visible improvement in eyelash length and thickness after 4 to 8 weeks of consistent nightly application. Full and maximum results are usually seen after 12 to 16 weeks of regular use. Missing applications frequently will delay results.

2. What happens if I stop using Careprost 3ml for eyelash growth?

If regular application is stopped, the eyelashes will gradually return to their original appearance over a period of several weeks to months. To maintain the results, continued regular application as advised by your doctor is necessary.

3. Can Careprost 3ml change the colour of my eyes permanently?

In some patients, particularly those with hazel or green eyes, long-term use of Bimatoprost may gradually darken the colour of the iris. This change can be permanent even after stopping the medicine. Discuss this potential side effect with your doctor before starting treatment.

4. Is it safe to use Careprost 3ml on the lower eyelashes as well?

No. Careprost should only be applied along the upper eyelid lash line using the provided brush. The solution naturally spreads to the lower lash area when you blink. Applying it directly to the lower lash line increases the risk of the solution entering the eye and causing unwanted side effects.

5. Can I use Careprost 3ml if I wear contact lenses?

Yes, but always remove your contact lenses before applying the solution whether as an eye drop or with the brush. Wait at least 15 minutes after application before putting your lenses back in. Do not wear contact lenses during an active eye infection or irritation.
