Indications

Dry Eye

Tearsol Ophthalmic Solution is indicated for tear deficiency caused by impaired lacrimal secretion, by functional disorders resulting from topical or systemic diseases, or by deficient or incomplete eyelid closure. Tearsol Ophthalmic Gel is enriched with Carbomer 980, a long-acting eye gel that lubricates the surface of the eye for all patients experiencing ocular discomfort. The gel's slight hypotonicity is rapidly neutralized by the slightly hypertonic tear fluid caused by dry eyes.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

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.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

There's no experience yet on whether Hypromellose is safe in human pregnancy or during breastfeeding. Studies in children haven't been done either.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Ophthalmic Solution: 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. Ophthalmic Gel: 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.
