What is Careprost
Careprost is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called prostaglandin analogues. It’s taken by patients to treat not enough or inadequate eyelashes. Latisse works by improving the growth of eyelashes and increasing their thickness, length, and darkness. Its positive effect is not noticeable for about 2 months, and it’s not permanent. If you stop using Careprost, eyelashes will return to their original appearance gradually.
How to use Medicine
Most patients use 1 drop of this eye solution for each upper eyelid, once a day, usually at night. Don’t use Careprost more often than once a day. This medicine is intended only for external use. To apply this solution, you need to wash your face, remove contact lenses if you wear them, use a sterile applicator, blot any excess solution, and dispose of the used applicator safely. This medication shouldn’t be applied to a lower eyelash line. If Careprost gets into your eyes, it’s not necessary to rinse them because it won’t cause any harm

Don’t use this medicine if you have any possible allergic reactions. This eye solution may lead to eyelid skin darkening, and this condition is reversible. Sudden color changes happen less frequently. Patients with specific eye conditions, such as uveitis, should be careful with the use of Careprost. Eyelash changes can be different for each eye in terms of the number, length, and thickness. This medicine shouldn’t be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women and children.
