Bimatoprost belongs to a class of medications called prostaglandin analogs, which are thought to promote hair growth by increasing the proportion of hair follicles that are in the anagen, or active growth, phase of the hair cycle, as well as extending the duration of this phase and increasing the size of the hair follicle.
Although bimatoprost is not FDA-approved for eyebrow hypotrichosis, it is sometimes used off-label for this purpose based on the same underlying mechanism of prolonging the hair growth cycle, and patients considering this use should understand that safety and effectiveness for eyebrows specifically have not been established through the same rigorous clinical trials as for eyelashes. Results are gradual, often taking several weeks to months to become noticeable, and continued use is generally needed to maintain results, since new growth may be lost if the medication is discontinued.
Common side effects of bimatoprost when used for hair growth include itching, redness, and irritation of the skin where it is applied, as well as a small chance of darkening of the skin at the application site. One of the most notable risks, particularly relevant near the eyes, is a gradual increase in brown pigmentation of the iris, which may be permanent, so care should be taken to avoid the solution contacting the eye itself when applying near the eyebrows. Other possible effects include eye redness, itching, or dryness if the product comes into contact with the eye, as well as unwanted hair growth in areas where the solution is not intended to be applied if it spreads to adjacent skin. Patients should apply the product carefully and consistently to the intended area only, wash hands after application, and contact a healthcare provider if they notice unexpected changes in eye color, persistent skin irritation, or any signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling or severe redness.

This is the best thing to happen since…
Thank you Telrx for creating this company. It's so hard to get doctor's appointments! For common ailments, we usually know what we need before we go to the doctor's office...this saves so much time, money and headache! Thank You!!

This is the first time using an online prescription pharmacy
I was hesitant, but everything about the experience was very positive. From requesting the medication to receiving it was quick and easy. From time of order to receipt was only 2 days. Very happy and will not hesitate to use in the future.

Why should I trust TelyRx?
Every order is reviewed virtually by a healthcare provider licensed in your state. Our licensed pharmacies dispense only FDA-approved medications and our platform provides HIPAA-level privacy protection. With TelyRx, you get real healthcare with real oversight.
Is insurance required?

What will my medication cost?
Search any medication on our site and see your price instantly — no account required. The provider review is a flat $22 fee per order, whether you need one medication or multiple. Most people pay a fraction of what they’d pay at a typical pharmacy.
Do I need to have a prescription?
Not to get started. Complete a short health attestation, and a licensed provider will review your request entirely online. Already have a prescription? You can transfer it to TelyRx directly.
How do I transfer my existing prescription to the TelyRx platform?
Make sure you have created an account with TelyRx if you haven't already done so. Select the “I have a prescription” option when adding your request to your cart. If we don’t have the exact medication (dosage, quantity, formulation) matching your prescription, we recommend that you request a prescription through our platform to reduce any potential delay or denial. Provide your current pharmacy’s name and phone number, as well as your prescription number. Our customer service team will reach out for more information as needed.
If your prescription details differ from the order you submitted, such as if the dosage differs, your order will be cancelled and you will not be charged.
If we do not have your exact match in dosage, quantity, or formulation, we recommend selecting the “I need a prescription” option to avoid potential fulfillment delays. Your request will be reviewed by an independent, licensed provider.
