Pharmacology
Hypromellose is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used as an ophthalmic lubricant. It works as a lubricant and artificial tear to relieve the symptoms of a dry cornea and conjunctiva caused by reduced tear production and functional disturbances arising from local or systemic disease, or by incomplete or inadequate closure of the eyelids.
Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Instill 1 or 2 drops into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye(s) as needed. How often it is used depends on the severity of the condition; on average, one drop is applied 1 to 3 times daily. If needed, Hypromellose may be used more frequently.
Dosage for other forms (1)
Treating dry eye syndrome calls for an individual dosage regimen. The usual dose of 0.3% Hypromellose is 1 drop into the conjunctival sac 3 to 5 times per day, or as directed by the physician. The dose of 0.5% Hypromellose will differ from patient to patient, so follow your doctor's directions.
