Brooke Shields is on a commercial for prescription eyelash enhancer. Did she
also use something for eyebrow reduction?

And really, prescription eyelash grower? What the fuck?

My favorite TV med symptom ever is 'uncontrollable bowel movements'

Just use fake ones, geez.

I know *one* person who could've benefited from that...she had such light eyebrows and like NO eyelashes. She got stuff in her eyes (dirt, sweat, dust) all the time because she basically had nothing guarding them.

But how the crap do you convince your health insurance that you NEEEED longer lashes?

I had read about some eyelash enhancer, and this may be it. It started out as a Glaucoma medication, but patients discovered they were growing beautiful, luscious eyelashes! Weird how stuff works sometimes.

I was about the post pretty much the same comment. I bet this is it.

Yes, it's sold in an eyedrop under the name Lumigan. I was prescribed it for my Glaucoma for a few months in 2007; I was warned about the potential side effects. My eyelashes definitely got thicker and longer -- they also started growing in the wrong direction, curling backwards and poking me in the eyeball. The skin around my eyes darkened as well. Both of these side effects are why I switched to a different medication.

One of the best side effects is a nose spray that may cause a hole in your septum. WHAT.

I think it's more for people who have gone through chemo. I've thought of getting it, but haven't put much of an effort into it. My eyelashes were way fuller before. :(

See that's an application I can get behind. The commercial almost seems like a mascara commercial, definitely aimed at a different audience.

the side effects are the best part though.

As long as she never gets another sitcom, I won't complain...

It can be used for people who have gone through chemo, but is regularly prescribed solely for the cosmetic aspect.
