new prostaglandin eyedrops for glaucoma
May 2001
You'll soon see several new prostaglandin eyedrops for glaucoma...Lumigan (bimatoprost), Rescula (unoprostone), and Travatan (travoprost).
They're now available in the U.S. Rescula should be the first to hit Canada. Lumigan and Travatan will be out later.
They're prostaglandin analogues...similar to Xalatan (latanoprost).
