Bimatoprost / Timolol

Read this label carefully before starting to use this medication, because

it contains important information for you.

• Keep this label, as you may need to read it again.
• If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
• This medication has been prescribed only to you, and you should not give it to others even if they have the same symptoms as you, as it may harm them.
• If you experience any adverse effects, consult your doctor or pharmacist, even if they are not listed in this label.See section 4.

This medication contains two different active principles (bimatoprost and timolol) that reduce elevated eye pressure. Bimatoprost belongs to a group of medications called prostamides, a prostaglandin analogue. Timolol belongs to a group of medications called beta-blockers.

The eye contains a clear, watery liquid that maintains the interior of the eye. This liquid drains continuously from the eye and new liquid is generated to replace it. If the liquid does not drain at a sufficient speed, the pressure inside the eye increases and, in the long term, your vision could be damaged (a disease called glaucoma). This medication acts by reducing the production of liquid and also increasing the amount that drains. This reduces the pressure inside the eye.

This medication is used for the treatment of elevated eye pressure in adults, including elderly people. This elevated pressure can cause glaucoma. Your doctor will prescribe this medication if other eye drops containing beta-blockers or prostaglandin analogues have not had a sufficient effect on their own.

This medication does not contain preservatives.

No use Bapiri

• If you are allergic to bimatoprost, timolol, beta blockers, or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6);
• If you have or have had respiratory problems, such as asthma, severe chronic obstructive bronchitis (a serious lung disease that can cause wheezing, difficulty breathing, and/or persistent coughing);
• If you have heart problems such as low heart rate, heart block, or heart failure.

Advertencias y precauciones

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to use this medication, if you have or have had in the past:

• coronary heart disease (symptoms may include chest pain or pressure, difficulty breathing, or a feeling of suffocation), heart failure, low blood pressure;
• heart rate irregularities, such as low heart rate;
• respiratory problems, asthma, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease;
• circulatory disorders (such as Raynaud's disease or Raynaud's syndrome);
• hyperthyroidism, as timolol may mask the signs and symptoms of thyroid diseases;
• diabetes, as timolol may mask the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia;
• severe allergic reactions;
• liver or kidney problems;
• eye problems;
• separation of one of the layers of the interior of the eyeball after surgery to reduce eye pressure;
• known risk factors for macular edema (inflammation of the retina that causes a worsening of vision), for example, cataract surgery.

Inform your doctor before undergoing surgical anesthesia that you are using this medication, as timolol may modify the effects of some medications used during anesthesia.

If you have a history of hypersensitivity to silver, do not use this medication.

During treatment, Bapiri may cause a loss of fat around the eye that can cause deepening of the eyelid groove, sunken eyes (enophthalmos), drooping of the upper eyelids (ptosis), stretching of the skin around the eye (dermatochalasis) and that the white lower part of the eye becomes more visible (exposure of the inferior sclera). The changes are usually mild, but if they worsen, they may affect your field of vision. The changes may disappear if you stop using Bapiri.

This medication may also cause darkening and growth of eyelashes, as well as darkening of the skin around the eye. It may also darken the color of the iris. These changes may be permanent and more visible if only one eye is being treated. This medication may cause hair growth in contact with the skin surface.

Niños y adolescentes

This medication should not be used in children and adolescents under 18 years of age.

Bapiri contains phosphates

This medication contains 1.4 mg of phosphates in each milliliter. If you suffer from severe damage to the transparent layer of the front part of the eye (the cornea), treatment with phosphates, in very rare cases, may cause cloudy patches in the cornea due to calcium.

Follow exactly the administration instructions of this medication as indicated by your doctor. In case of doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist again.

The recommended dose is one drop administered once a day, either in the morning or in the evening, in each eye that requires treatment. Use this medication every day at the same time.

This medication is a sterile solution that does not contain preservatives. See section 6.Appearance of the product and contents of the package.

Before instilling eye drops:

• When using it for the first time, before administering a drop in the eye, you must first practice the use of the dropper bottle by slowly releasing a drop in the air, away from the eye.
• When you are sure you can administer a drop, you must choose the position that feels most comfortable for instilling the drops (you can sit, lie on your back, or stand in front of a mirror).

Usage instructions:

image 1image 2image 3image 4

1. Wash your hands carefully before using this medication.
2. Do not use the medication if the container or bottle is damaged.
3. When using the medication for the first time, unscrew the cap after making sure the tamper-evident ring on the cap has not been broken. You should feel a slight resistance until this tamper-evident ring breaks (see image 1).
4. If the tamper-evident ring is loose, discard it because it could fall into the eye and cause injury.
5. Tilt your head back and gently pull down on the lower eyelid to form a pouch between the eye and the eyelid (see image 2). Avoid contact between the tip of the bottle and your eye, eyelids, or fingers.
6. Instill one drop into the pouch by slowly pressing on the bottle (see image 3). Squeeze the bottle gently in the middle and let one drop fall into your eye. There may be a delay of a few seconds between the compression and the drop's release. Do not squeeze too hard. If you are unsure how to administer your medication, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.
7. Compress the tear duct for about 2 minutes (pressing a finger against the corner of the eye near the nose) and close your eyes and keep them closed during this time. This ensures that the drop is absorbed by the eye and that the amount of medication that drains through the tear duct into the nose is likely to be reduced.
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 in the other eye if your doctor has instructed you to do so.
9. After use and before replacing the cap, you must shake the bottle once downwards, without touching the tip of the dropper, to eliminate any residual liquid in the tip. This is necessary to ensure the delivery of subsequent drops. After instillation, screw the cap back onto the bottle (see image 4).

If a drop does not reach your eye, try again.

If you are unsure how to administer your medication, ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using this medication. Wait 15 minutes after using the drops and before putting your contact lenses back in.

If you use this medicationwith another eye medication, leave at least 5 minutes between the application of this medication and the other medication. Use any eye ointment or gel last.

The following additional side effects have been seen in patients using timolol or bimatoprost eye drops, and may occur with this medication. As other eye medications, timolol is absorbed into the blood. This may cause side effects similar to those observed with intravenous or oral beta-blockers. The likelihood of experiencing side effects with the use of eye drops is lower than when medications are taken, for example, orally or injected. Among the listed side effects are the reactions observed with bimatoprost and timolol when used to treat eye conditions:

• Severe allergic reactions with inflammation and difficulty breathing that may be potentially fatal.
• Hypoglycemia.
• Depression; memory loss; hallucination.
• Loss of consciousness; stroke; decreased cerebral blood flow; worsening of myasthenia gravis (increased muscle weakness); feeling of numbness.
• Decreased sensitivity on the surface of the eye; double vision; ptosis; separation of one of the layers of the eyeball after surgery to reduce eye pressure; inflammation of the surface of the eye, retinal hemorrhage, inflammation inside the eye, increased blinking.
• Heart failure; irregular or interrupted heartbeat; bradycardia or tachycardia, excess fluid, mainly water, that accumulates in the body; chest pain.
• Low blood pressure; swelling or coldness of the hands, feet, and extremities, caused by constriction of blood vessels.
• Cough, worsening of asthma, worsening of known lung disease known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
• Diarrhea; stomach pain; nausea and vomiting; indigestion; dry mouth.
• Red scaly patches on the skin; skin rash.
• Muscle pain.
• Decreased libido, sexual dysfunction.
• Weakness.
• Increased results in blood tests that indicate how the liver is functioning.
