Product Introduction:
Aqualube Eye Drops is a sterile ophthalmic solution containing Carboxymethylcellulose (0.5% w/v) as its active ingredient. It is designed to provide lubrication and relief from dryness and irritation of the eyes. These eye drops are used to alleviate symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome, such as burning, stinging, and discomfort.
Aqualube Eye Drop is usually taken when needed. Use the number of drops as advised by your doctor. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering any other medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Do not use a bottle if the seal is broken before you open it. Always wash your hands and do not touch the end of the dropper. This could infect your eye. This medicine may require long-term use and can be taken safely for as long as you need it.
The most common side effects of using this medicine include eye irritation (including burning and discomfort), eye pain, eye itching, and visual disturbance. They are usually temporary and disappear with time. However, let your doctor know if they persist or get worse. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you are sure you can do it safely. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve or if the side effects bother you.
This medicine is not likely to affect or be affected by other medicines you use but tell your doctor if you have ever had glaucoma. Do not use it while wearing soft contact lenses and talk to your doctor if you develop an eye infection while using it.
Benefits:
- Lubrication: Carboxymethylcellulose acts as a lubricant, providing moisture to the surface of the eye and enhancing the natural tear film.
- Relief from Dryness: Aqualube Eye Drops help alleviate symptoms of dry eye syndrome, including itching, redness, and a gritty sensation in the eyes.
- Protection: By moisturizing the eyes, these drops help protect the cornea and maintain ocular health.

Usage Guidelines:
- Dosage: Instill one or two drops into the affected eye(s) as needed or as directed by a healthcare professional.
- Administration: Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops into the eye. Blink a few times to ensure the drops spread evenly across the eye.
- Frequency: Use Aqualube Eye Drops as often as necessary to relieve symptoms of dryness and irritation. However, avoid overuse.
- Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting your contact lenses after applying the drops.
