Indications
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Eye Gel Drops are designed to soothe and relieve discomfort caused by dry eyes, wind, or sun exposure. This lubricant offers effective relief from irritation and helps maintain eye moisture.
Composition
Each milliliter of Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Eye Gel Drops contains:
- Active Ingredient: Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium USP 10 mg
- Preservative: Purite 0.0075%
Pharmacology
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium serves as an ocular lubricant, providing substantial relief from moderate to severe dry eye syndrome (DES). It mimics the properties of natural tears, delivering long-lasting protection against dryness and irritation. The mild preservative Purite converts into components found in natural tears. This eye gel’s effectiveness stems from Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium’s role as a viscosity enhancer, which prolongs the retention time of the drops on the eye.
