Lumigan (bimatoprost) is primarily used to treat glaucoma, a condition that causes high pressure inside the eye that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss.
Lumigan has also been found to have a side effect of enhancing eyelash growth. (This led to the development of brand name Latisse in 2008.) Lumigan and Latisse contain the same active ingredient, bimatoprost, with different intended use for each drug: Lumigan for glaucoma, Latisse for eyelash growth.
Lumigan is available in the form of eye drops and is typically prescribed to be used once daily in the affected eye(s) for glaucoma.
For promoting eyelash growth (off-label), Lumigan can be applied to the upper eyelashes with an applicator (purchased separately) once daily. It may take 3 or 4 months to see the full benefits of Lumigan for eyelash growth.
Bimatoprost is approved under two brand names. Latisse, and Lumigan. Both contain the same active ingredient, bimatoprost.
Latisse comes with brush applicators for easy application and is used specifically for cosmetic purposes, to promote eyelash growth. Lumigan, on the other hand, is approved to treat high pressure inside the eye due to glaucoma.
Both forms of bimtoprost are available at Marley Drug with free shipping. Importantly, because of its indication, Lumigan does not come with an applicator like Latisse does.

Is the generic version of Lumigan safe?
As with any generic drug, the FDA requires that generic Lumigan be proven to be bioequivalent to the brand-name version, meaning that it contains the same active ingredient, is of the same strength, and is absorbed into the body at the same rate.
If a generic version of Lumigan has been approved by the FDA, it is likely to be safe and effective. However, it is important to always consult with a healthcare professional before using any medication, including generic Lumigan, to ensure that it is appropriate for your individual needs and medical history.
