Special warnings about Lumigan

Due to the risk of infection if the drops become contaminated, you should check with your doctor about using the dispenser bottle if you suffer any eye injury or are scheduled for eye surgery.

An infection could cause serious damage to the eye. Check with your doctor immediately if you develop any eye reactions, particularly inflamed eyelids.

Your doctor will check for the presence of certain eye conditions such as inflammation in the area of the iris (uveitis) and swelling in the back of the eye (macular edema). Lumigan must be used with caution under these circumstances.

Also be sure the doctor knows if you have kidney disease or liver problems. They are reasons for caution when using Lumigan.

Do not use Lumigan more than once a day. More frequent administration may diminish the effect of the drug.
