Merge from Lumigan

I have performed the merge as requested. The article could use some restructuring and toning-down of some text that may be construed as medical advice. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 00:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Latisse Pricing

Latisse has been an amazing product - but pricing has been quite varied. The company is wholesaling to physicians at $72 per vial. Reputable online physician's offices like [www.latisse.bz] have put themselves in the leader of the pack by offering latisse at $89 per vial. The sites must be physician driven and physician involved www.latisse.bz. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.253.58.29 (talk) 20:07, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Mechanism of Action?

Hey, so does anyone know how this drug works? If so it would be awesome if someone could fill that in. I can do some research but it could take a while... Thanks, Leftwing (talk) 00:57, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

Serious concern over lack of critical information, and consequent bias

This article focuses almost entirely on a purely cosmetic extension in the approved use of this drug. A single sentence appears on the therapeutic indication which originally brought this complicated drug to market. This article should, for sake of balance, be immediately reduced to a short article, leading with 1-2 sentences on the original clinical indication and it details, followed then by a sentence on the cosmetic and by a sentence on the recent further observations relating to adipose. It should remain short and balanced, until editors have time to spend to restructure and improve the nearly entirely absent and critically important apsects of the drug's orignal primary therapeutic indications, its development history, its synthesis and formulation, and its contraindications and off-target effects. Until then, it is an improper article for any quality encyclopedia. Prof D. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meduban (talk • contribs) 02:57, 4 September 2011 (UTC)

Fully agree. Its primary medical purpose for glaucoma treatment has been barely described. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.49.89.233 (talk) 08:20, 6 October 2013 (UTC)

I agree, and it looks like any concerns tagged on the actual article have subsequently been removed presumably by Allegran, it looks like they wrote most of the article.  Have tagged with multiple issues but for some reason it hasn't tagged properly sorrysorrysorry I typed out the tags exactly and double checked them before posting edit but for some reason it has not visually translated the way it has on every other article I've ever edited.  V. concerned at this article's existence and the fact that by the look of it it just keeps getting reverted to an advert for Latisse rather than an article on the active ingredient, which is barely discussed.

How it works

"Bimatoprost reduces intraocular pressure in man by increasing aqueous humour outflow through the trabecular meshwork and enhancing uveoscleral outflow."[1] Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:37, 15 July 2019 (UTC)

I'm happy to work with you, but please do not revert me until we have sorted stuff out via talk. If you had followed the link through which I provided you would have come to footnote 13 which was a link to the FDA product label. That label says it is THOUGHT that the action of the drug is such and such. So it appears we have 2 sources claiming different things. One claims a fact and the other claims a supposition. I prefer the FDA source to the Australian source and where there is doubt I think we should present the doubt, which I tried to do in my edit. Kelly222 (talk) 05:48, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
