Indications
This eye drop serves as a lubricant to alleviate irritation and discomfort caused by dryness, wind, or sun exposure.
Composition
Each milliliter of Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium sterile eye gel contains:
- Active Ingredient: Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium USP 10 mg
- Preservative: Purite 0.0075%
Pharmacology
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium acts as an ocular lubricant, effectively relieving symptoms associated with moderate to severe dry eye syndrome (DES) while providing long-lasting protection against dryness and irritation. This formulation mimics the natural tears, featuring a gentle, non-sensitizing preservative that breaks down into components found in natural tears. The pharmacological action of Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium is non-receptor mediated, primarily enhancing viscosity to extend the retention time of the drops.
