An illegal use of Lumigan, now legal?

Implications: A few months ago, a small company tried to import Lumigan (bimatoprost), licensed by Allergan, in an eyelash applicator. It was held by the FDA as an unapproved use of a prescription medication. Now the owner of the patent is trying to import the same drug legally.

Analysis: I just find it interesting that an unintended use of a drug can be so contentious. I also wonder if the packaging will also tell the public that in addition to promoting eyelash growth, it can change the color of your eyes.

Another unintended effect of Lumigan is to make blue eyes brown. I wonder if application to the eyelash will do the same as a drop and increase iris pigmentation?

I guess we will see what the marketing geniuses will do when the complaints start coming in.
