Risks of using Lumigan instead of Latisse?

Is Lumigan and Latisse the exact same thing or is one stronger than the other. My doc prescribed Latisse but told me that if I use Lumigan that I could run into all kinds of problems.

A: Latisse and Lumigan are the same

Jon Dishler, MD

Both of these medications are the exact same down to the packaging of the bottles.  The difference is the labeling and the applicators supplied with Latisse.  As was stated above, they are both brimatoprost 0.03%.

Both of these medications are bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. They are identical. The difference is the labeling, and the Latisse comes packaged with applicator brushes.
