Question 1

Q. How do you apply Careprost for eyelash growth?

Accepted Answer

Careprost is recommended to be used once every night. It should be applied to the skin of the upper eyelid at the base of eyelashes. The face should be clean and any makeup should be removed. It should not be applied to the lower eyelid. Use a tissue paper to blot away any excess solution or other absorbent material outside the upper eyelid margin.

Question 2

Q. Does Careprost work on eyebrows?

Accepted Answer

No, Careprost is not made for the growth of eyebrows. This medicine is used to treat hypotrichosis (less than normal amount of hair) of the eyelashes. It promotes the growth of longer, thicker and darker eyelashes.

Question 3

Q. Why should contact lenses be removed before applying Careprost?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to remove the contact lenses before applying Careprost. It is because Careprost contains benzalkonium chloride which may get absorbed by the contact lenses and discolor them. The contact lenses can be re-inserted 15 minutes after you have applied the medicine.

Question 4

Q. How long does Careprost take for eyelash growth?

Accepted Answer

It may take about 4 weeks to see an improvement, whereas the full effect may appear after about 16 weeks. However, if you do not use it regularly, then it may take a little longer.

Question 5

Q. What happens if I stop using Careprost?

Accepted Answer

If you stop using Careprost, the eyelashes may return to their previous appearance after several weeks or months. In case you have developed any eyelid skin darkening, it may reverse after several weeks or months. However, any change in the color of the iris is permanent and will not reverse.

Question 6

Q. When to seek doctor’s advice while using Careprost?

Accepted Answer

Contact your doctor immediately if you have or have recently had any eye infection, injury, conjunctivitis, eye surgery, or an eyelid reaction. Discuss with your doctor on how long you have to continue using Careprost.

Question 7

Q. Can I use other eye drops along with Careprost?

Accepted Answer

If you have to use other eye drops, wait for at least 5 minutes before using them. You should inform your doctor if you are using any other medicine too as it may interfere with the working of Careprost.
