Description

Indications

Hydroxypropyl cellulose is an eye insert designed to alleviate dry eyes. It is typically utilized when artificial tears solutions have not provided effective relief. This medication may also be employed to address various other eye conditions such as keratitis and decreased corneal sensitivity. Its mechanism of action involves maintaining eye moisture, thereby safeguarding the eye from injury and infection, and reducing dry eye symptoms such as burning, itching, and the sensation of a foreign object in the eye.

Uses and Dosage

Use this medication in the affected eye(s) as instructed by your doctor, typically 1 to 2 times daily.

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying this medication. Consult your doctor regarding when you can reinsert your contact lenses.

To administer this medication, begin by washing your hands thoroughly. To prevent contamination, avoid touching the insert or allowing it to come into contact with any surface besides the applicator. Use the provided applicator to insert one insert into the eye.

After use, rinse the applicator with hot running water. Shake off any visible water droplets and return the applicator to its storage container.

Refrain from rubbing your eyes while using this medication. If the insert becomes dislodged, you may replace it with another one. Your doctor may also recommend using artificial tears solution or saline drops alongside this medication.

Follow the prescribed regimen for those medications precisely.
