Opthoprost (Bimatoprost 0.03%) is an ophthalmic solution used to treat elevated intraocular pressure in animals, specifically for managing advanced open-angle glaucoma and hypotrichosis. By reducing intraocular pressure, Opthoprost helps prevent further damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma-affected pets. Additionally, it aids in the treatment of hypotrichosis, promoting the growth of eyelashes. This product is formulated for both cats and dogs, with specific dosage recommendations for each species to ensure optimal results.

The 0.03% concentration ensures a balance between efficacy and safety, providing the necessary therapeutic effects without unnecessary complexity. This makes it the best choice for managing eye pressure and promoting eyelash growth in cats and dogs.
Opthoprost contains Bimatoprost 0.03%, which effectively reduces intraocular pressure by increasing the outflow of aqueous humor from the eye. This mechanism helps prevent optic nerve damage in pets suffering from glaucoma, improving eye health and vision preservation.
Bimatoprost is a well-established treatment for open-angle glaucoma. Opthoprost's formulation has been specifically designed for pets, offering reliable control over elevated intraocular pressure, thus slowing the progression of the disease and minimizing discomfort.
In addition to reducing eye pressure, Opthoprost promotes the growth of eyelashes in pets with hypotrichosis. Bimatoprost stimulates hair follicles, leading to thicker, longer eyelashes, which can enhance eye protection and comfort for affected animals.
