Bimatoprost is Latisse's main ingredient. Why not purchase it for much less?

Question

I have seen many generic Bimatoprost bottles selling for easily 75% cheaper than Latisse, and Bimatoprost is the active ingredient in Latisse, at 0.03%. Why not purchase bimatoprost?

A.J. Amadi, MD · Answer

The eye drop will deliver a much load of drug to your eye and the risk of developing iris color change [if you have light colored eyes] is greater. Furthermore in some patients, the continue use of drops will cause atrophy of eyelid fat which could make your eyes appear hollow.The drops are made for glaucoma and should be used as such.

Latisse has been FDA approved and specifically desgined for application to the eyelid for eyelash growth. Bimatoprost alone is not indicated for this use.All the Best.
