Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops are primarily used to alleviate symptoms of dry eyes. This over-the-counter medication belongs to the class of ocular lubricants.

In addition to its main application, these eye drops also provide temporary relief from discomfort caused by burning, irritation, and grittiness due to dryness of the eyes. These symptoms can result from various factors such as aging, certain medications, environmental conditions, prolonged digital screen use and certain medical conditions.

Before you start using this medicine, it is important to consult your doctor for precise dosage and frequency instructions. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting these drops. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately, and continue using the drops for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops are used for the following:

Providing temporary relief from dryness of the eye.
Alleviating burning sensations in the eyes caused by dryness.
Soothing irritated eyes due to environmental factors.
Aiding in the management of dry eyes associated with Sjogren's syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis.

Directions for Use of Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops 10ml

Here are some instructions to follow while using Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops:

Start by washing your hands thoroughly.
If irritation persists or increases, discontinue the use and consult the doctor.
Do not touch the nozzle tip to any surface since this may contaminate the solution.
Use the solution within one month after opening the container.

Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with your doctor for specific advice on how to use these eye drops.

Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Side Effects of Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops 10ml

Using Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops may result in certain side effects, including:

Temporary blurred vision: This might occur immediately after you apply the drops.
Sensation of a foreign body in the eye: You might feel as if something is in your eye.
Burning or stinging sensation: This might be experienced just after application and should subside shortly.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips to manage common side effects:

Temporary blurred vision: After applying the drops, keep your eyes closed for a couple of minutes to allow your vision to clear before resuming activities.
Sensation of a foreign body in the eye: Blink a few times after instillation to help spread the gel across the eye surface and reduce this sensation.

How Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops 10ml Works?

Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops contain two active ingredients:

Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (1 %): This cellulose derivative with high viscosity properties acts as an artificial tear when applied to the eye. It clings to the ocular surface and stabilises the pre-corneal tear film, helping maintain moisture in your eyes. It also promotes corneal wound healing by physically protecting the epithelium.
Stabilised Oxychloro (0.0075%): While detailed information on this ingredient is not available in the given research data, it contributes to the overall function of Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops in providing relief from dry eye symptoms.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this product.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, we recommend discussing with your doctor before using Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops.

Alcohol

Interaction with alcohol is unlikely as Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops are topical and not ingested.

Liver

As an eye drop, Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops are unlikely to interact with liver health. However, if you have any liver-related concerns, it's always wise to discuss them with your doctor.

Kidney

Kidney health concerns rarely affect the use of Lubrifresh Gel Eye Drops since they are applied topically. But if you do have kidney issues, consulting your doctor would be prudent.

Using Machines & Driving

Children
