Indications & Uses

Lubrex is indicated for:

Pharmacology

This eye drop is a clear, virtually colorless sterile lubricant solution applied directly to the eye. Once instilled, it spreads quickly across the cornea and conjunctiva, forming a protective, lubricating film over the ocular surface. Polyethylene Glycol 400 helps stabilize this tear film, while hypromellose, thanks to its strong muco-adhesive quality, helps the film bind securely to the eye's surface. Glycerin brings moisture back to dry eyes, and electrolytes resembling those in natural tears help keep the corneal epithelium in good condition.
