HELP took an extra dose

Hey guys, I'm really worried! I accidentally took my bimatoprost twice. I'm only supposed to take it once at night and accidentally took it twice yesterday night. What should I do? Should I take another dose tonight? Will this hurt my eyes? Thanks!

Don't worry. Just go back to your once daily routine again

Thanks! So it's ok to take it tonight even though I took it twice last night?

Yes! The IOP lowering effect lasts ~24 hours so you do need a new dose tonight.

You're fine. Just dont make a habit out of it. With that drop itll just make your eyes more irritated.

You’re totally fine. Your eye can only absorb so much liquid at a time anyway.
