Bimotrat LS Eye Drop is used in the treatment of ocular hypertension (pressure in the eye) and glaucoma. It helps lower high pressure in the eye and reduces the risk of vision loss. This medicine may be used alone or in combination with another eye drop that reduces pressure in the eye.

Bimotrat LS Eye Drop is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the medication. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper to any surface, as it may contaminate the eye drop. For best results, use it daily in the evening or at night.

The common side effects include allergic conjunctivitis, burning sensation, conjunctival inflammation, conjunctival hyperemia, eye itching, allergic reaction in the eyes, dry mouth, and visual disturbance. If they persist or worsen, inform your doctor. Caution is advised for driving after administration of this injection if your eyes are unable to concentrate and react.
