Hypromellose enriched with Carbomer 980 is a long acting eye gel for lubricating the surface of the eye for all patients with ocular discomfort. The slight hypotonicity of the gel is rapidly "neutralised" by the slightly hypertonic tear fluid caused by dry eyes.
Instill 1 or 2 drops in the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s), as needed. The frequency of administration depends on the severity of the condition. On average, one drop is administered 1-3 times daily. If needed, Hypromellose may be administered more frequently.
Hypromellose can be used in combination with contact lenses. No compatibility study with lens material is available.
Hypersensitivity to this drug or to any ingredient in the formulation or component of the container.
Hypromellose enriched with Carbomer 980 is very well tolerated by users. However, some cases of burning, stinging, allergic reactions or red eyes after instillation have been reported. Transient blurring of vision after administration has also been reported.
There is no experience regarding the safety of Hypromellose in human pregnancy or lactation. Studies in the pediatric population have not been performed.
No case of overdose has been reported.
