Approved Use
LATISSE® (bimatoprost ophthalmic solution) 0.03% is a prescription treatment for hypotrichosis (inadequate or not enough
lashes) to grow eyelashes longer, fuller, darker.
Important Safety Information
If you use/used prescription products for eye pressure problems, use LATISSE® under doctor care. LATISSE® may cause
increased brown pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely permanent. Eyelid skin darkening may occur and
may be reversible. Only apply at the base of upper lashes. DO NOT APPLY to lower lid. Hair may grow on skin that LATISSE®
frequently touches. If you have eye problems/surgery, consult your doctor about use of LATISSE®. Common side effects are
itchy and red eyes. If discontinued, lashes gradually return to previous appearance.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Please see accompanying LATISSE® full Product Information.
Actual LATISSE® patient without mascara—lashes not retouched.
Your results may vary. By prescription only.
It is possible for a difference in eyelash length, thickness, fullness, pigmentation (darkness), number of eyelash hairs, and/or
direction of eyelash growth to occur between eyes. These differences, should they occur, will usually go away if you stop
using LATISSE®.
If you stop using LATISSE®, your eyelashes are expected to return to their previous appearance over several weeks to months.
How do I use LATISSE(R)?
The recommended dosage is one application nightly to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes only.
Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact lenses are removed. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE® on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip (see Illustration 1). Then immediately draw the applicator carefully across the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes (where the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line to the outer part (see Illustration 2). Blot any excess solution beyond the eyelid margin. Dispose of the applicator after one use. Repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin using a new sterile applicator. This helps minimize any potential for contamination from one eyelid to another.

DO NOT APPLY in your eye or to the lower lid. ONLY use the sterile applicators supplied with LATISSE® to apply the product. If you miss a dose, don't try to "catch up." Just apply LATISSE® solution the next evening. Fifty percent of patients treated with LATISSE® in a clinical
study saw significant improvement by 2 months after starting treatment. If any LATISSE® solution gets into the eye proper, it is not expected to cause harm. The eye should not be rinsed. Don't allow the tip of the bottle or applicator to contact surrounding structures, fingers, or any other unintended surface in order to avoid contamination by common bacteria known to cause infections. Contact lenses should be removed prior to application of LATISSE® and may be reinserted 15 minutes following its administration. Use of LATISSE® more than once a day will not increase the growth of eyelashes more than use once a day.
