Careprost + Applicators Information

Introduction

Careprost + Applicators is a topical ophthalmic solution containing the prostaglandin analogue bimatoprost. It is primarily licensed for the treatment of eyelash hypotrichosis (insufficient eyelash growth) and for the reduction of intra‑ocular pressure in patients with open‑angle glaucoma. The product belongs to the Bestsellers eye‑drop group and is widely used in the United Kingdom as a cost‑effective alternative to brand‑name formulations.

What is Careprost + Applicators?

Careprost + Applicators is a sterile, preservative‑free eye‑drop solution that delivers .03 mg mL⁻¹ of bimatoprost to the ocular surface. The formulation is supplied in a single‑use applicator tip designed to provide precise dosing while minimising contamination.

• Classification: Prostaglandin analogue ophthalmic solution.
• Development: The active compound bimatoprost was originally developed by Allergan (now part of AbbVie) and approved under the brand name Latisse® for eyelash growth and Bimatoprost® for glaucoma. Careprost is a generic version produced by several licensed overseas manufacturers.
• Manufacturer: Produced by various certified suppliers; the specific source depends on the batch supplied to our pharmacy broker network.

Careprost + Applicators is the generic version of Latisse®, containing the same active compound bimatoprost. Our online pharmacy provides this generic alternative as a cost‑effective treatment option.

How Careprost + Applicators Works

Bimatoprost mimics the biological activity of prostaglandin F₂α, binding to prostaglandin receptors (FP receptors) on the hair follicle papillae and the ciliary body of the eye.

1. Hair‑follicle stimulation: Activation of FP receptors prolongs the anagen (growth) phase of the eyelash follicle, increases melanin production, and enhances keratinisation, resulting in longer, thicker lashes.
2. Intra‑ocular pressure reduction: In the eye, bimatoprost increases uveoscleral outflow of aqueous humour, thereby lowering intra‑ocular pressure (IOP).

Onset of lash growth is typically observed within 4–6 weeks, with maximal effect after 3–4 months of continuous use. For glaucoma, the IOP‑lowering effect occurs within 4 hours of a single dose and is sustained with daily administration. The drug is cleared primarily by ocular drainage; systemic absorption is minimal, and the plasma half‑life is approximately 20 minutes.

Conditions Treated with Careprost + Applicators

• Eyelash hypotrichosis (idiopathic or chemotherapy‑induced):

  • Prevalence: Up to 2 % of the UK adult population report insufficient eyelash growth, with higher rates among oncology patients receiving taxane‑based chemotherapy.
  • Efficacy: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown a ≥ 70 % improvement in lash length and thickness after 12 weeks of nightly use.

• Open‑angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension:
  ‑ Prevalence: Approximately 2 % of UK adults over 40 years have glaucoma; IOP control is essential to prevent optic nerve damage.
  ‑ Efficacy: Bimatoprost reduces IOP by an average of 7–8 mm Hg within 24 hours of a single dose, comparable to prostaglandin‑F₂α analogues such as latanoprost.

These indications are supported by the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA).

Suitable Candidates for Careprost + Applicators Treatment

• Adults (≥ 18 years) with medically diagnosed eyelash hypotrichosis who seek cosmetic improvement and have no contraindications to prostaglandin analogues.
• Patients with diagnosed open‑angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension requiring adjunctive IOP‑lowering therapy, particularly those who prefer once‑daily dosing.

Contra‑indications include:

• Active ocular infection (conjunctivitis, keratitis).
• Known hypersensitivity to bimatoprost or any component of the formulation.
• History of uveitis or intra‑ocular inflammation.

Cautionary use is advised in individuals with:

• Severe dry eye disease, as prostaglandins may exacerbate corneal surface irritation.
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding; although systemic exposure is low, safety data are limited, and use should be avoided unless clearly indicated.

Risks, Side Effects, and Interactions

Common

• Hypertrichosis of peri‑ocular hairs: Increased growth of eyebrow, scalp, or facial hair is reported in up to 30 % of users.
• Conjunctival hyperemia (red eye): Mild to moderate redness occurs in 10–15 % of patients, typically resolving with continued use.
• Mild ocular irritation: Temporary burning or stinging sensation on instillation.

Rare

• Pigmentation changes: Darkening of the iris (especially in heterochromic eyes) or periorbital skin may develop in < 2 % of users.
• Blurred vision: Transient decrease in visual acuity reported in < 1 % of cases, usually linked to corneal edema.

Serious

• Uveitis or anterior chamber inflammation: Rare but potentially vision‑threatening; immediate discontinuation and ophthalmologic review are required.
• Severe allergic reaction: Anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome is exceedingly rare but mandates urgent medical attention.

Drug–drug interactions:

• Other prostaglandin analogues: Co‑administration may increase risk of hypertrichosis and ocular inflammation.
• Beta‑blocker eye drops: No direct pharmacokinetic interaction, but combined IOP‑lowering effect may be additive; monitor IOP closely.

Patients should disclose all concurrent ocular or systemic medications to their healthcare provider.

Practical Use: Dosing, Missed Dose, Overdose

• Standard dosing for eyelash growth: One applicator tip (≈ .06 mL) applied to the upper eyelid margin once nightly, preferably before bedtime. Avoid contact with the ocular surface to minimise irritation.
• Standard dosing for glaucoma: One applicator tip applied to the lower conjunctival sac of each eye once daily, preferably in the evening.

Missed dose:
If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered unless it is less than 2 hours before the next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume the regular schedule.

Overdose:
Accidental administration of more than the prescribed amount (e.g., multiple applicators) may increase the risk of hypertrichosis and ocular redness but is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity. Rinse the eye with sterile saline and seek ophthalmologic advice if irritation persists.

Precautions:

• Do not use with contact lenses; remove lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting.
• Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures; store the applicator at 2–25 °C away from direct sunlight.
• Alcohol consumption does not affect the drug’s efficacy, but excessive intake may exacerbate dry‑eye symptoms.

FAQ

• Is Careprost + Applicators available in both brand‑name and generic forms in the UK?
  Yes. The original brand‑name formulation is marketed as Latisse® for eyelash growth and Bimatoprost® for glaucoma. Generic versions such as Careprost + Applicators contain the identical active ingredient bimatoprost and are offered at a lower price.

• What is the recommended storage condition for Careprost + Applicators?
  The solution should be stored at room temperature (2–25 °C) in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not refrigerate, as low temperatures may affect the stability of the prostaglandin analogue.

• Can I travel internationally with Careprost + Applicators in my carry‑on luggage?
  Yes, the applicator complies with airline liquid regulations when the volume does not exceed 100 mL. Keep the product in its original sealed container and present it for inspection if requested.

• Does the formulation differ between regions such as the EU, US, or Asia?
  While the concentration of bimatoprost (.03 mg mL⁻¹) is consistent, inactive ingredients and preservative status may vary. EU‑approved versions are preservative‑free; some Asian formulations include benzalkonium chloride as a preservative.

• Are there specific warnings for patients of Asian ethnicity?
  Studies have shown a slightly higher incidence of iris pigmentation changes in individuals with darker baseline iris colour, which is more common in Asian populations. Clinicians may monitor for this effect during routine eye examinations.

• Will using Careprost + Applicators affect a drug test?
  Bimatoprost is not screened for in standard occupational drug tests and is unlikely to cause a positive result for commonly tested substances.

• Can I use Careprost + Applicators if I wear contact lenses?
  Contact lenses should be removed before applying the drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after instillation before reinserting lenses to reduce the risk of blurring or irritation.

• What are the differences between the eyelash and glaucoma dosing regimens?
  For eyelash growth, the applicator is applied to the upper eyelid margin once nightly. For glaucoma, a tip is placed in the lower conjunctival sac of each eye once daily. The dosage volume is similar, but the target site differs.

• Is there a risk of systemic side effects from topical ocular use?
  Systemic absorption of bimatoprost from ocular administration is minimal; therefore, systemic adverse events are rare. Most side effects are confined to the ocular region.

• How long can I safely continue treatment with Careprost + Applicators?
  Long‑term use has been studied for up to 12 months without evidence of cumulative toxicity. Patients should have periodic ophthalmologic assessments to monitor for pigment changes or inflammation.

• Does the product contain any allergens or preservatives?
  The EU‑approved formulation of Careprost + Applicators is preservative‑free and contains only sterile water, sodium chloride, and the active compound bimatoprost. Allergic reactions are typically related to the active ingredient rather than excipients.
