Lumigan As an Alternative to Latisse?

I agree, as an ophthalmologist and cosmetic surgeon, Lumigan is meant for glaucoma patients.  Even though it is the same active ingredient (bimatoprost), unless there is a pre-existing condition of glaucoma, it is considered fraud to write it for non glaucomatous reasons.  The good news is that there is Latisse, meant for lash growth and appropriate to write for this indication.

I am not sure if there is an element of fraud when prescribing lumigan to grow lashes. For example Viagra is also used for pulmonary hypertension. When it is prescribed as that medicine (different name) the insurance covers it however the same insurance may not cover it if it is for erectile dysfunction. By using it for a different reason than prescribed, it would be considered insurance fraud. I am not sure if a provider would be ok to risk their license just to get you cheaper latisse.
