Systane Gel Eye Drops 10ml

Systane Gel Drops are used to manage various eye conditions, including:

• Dry eye syndrome, which causes discomfort due to insufficient moisture in the eyes.

• Chronic dry eyes, also known as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, where the eyes do not produce enough tears.

• Exposure keratopathy, a condition where the eye is unable to close completely.

• Decreased corneal sensitivity, resulting in reduced blinking and tear production.

• Post-operative dryness and irritation following eye surgery.

• Contact lens-related dryness, which can lead to discomfort and vision problems.

Use Systane Gel Drops as follows:

• Always wash your hands before using this medicine.

• Tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid.

• Gently squeeze the tube to release one or two drops into the eye.

• After instilling the drop, close your eye and gently roll your eyeball to spread the gel evenly.

• Avoid touching the tip of the tube to any surface to prevent contamination.

• Replace the cap immediately after use.

Remember that it's always best to consult your doctor for personalised directions for use.

Systane Gel Drops are instilled topically.

Systane Gel Drops contain two active ingredients:

• Polyethylene Glycol (0.4%): This compound acts as a humectant and lubricant on the eye surface. It forms a protective layer over the eye surface, enhancing tear film stability and retention time.

• Propylene Glycol (0.3%): This ingredient works similarly to polyethylene glycol. It helps reduce moisture loss through evaporation and provides long-lasting lubrication and hydration.

  These ingredients work together to improve optical clarity, soothe irritation, and make the eyes feel more comfortable. They ensure that the gel has a pH balance and osmolality similar to natural tears.

• Keep Systane Gel Drops upright at room temperature, below 30°C.

• Shield it from direct sunlight.

• Don't refrigerate or freeze it.

• Always replace the cap tightly after use to prevent air exposure.

• Store the medicine out of sight and reach of children.

• Hydrate regularly. Increasing your water intake can help manage dry eye syndrome by promoting tear production.

• Limit screen time. Prolonged staring at screens can increase eye dryness, so remember to take frequent breaks if you're working on a computer or watching television.
