Lacrigel Ophthalmic Solution 5gm

Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant is used for providing deep hydration and relief for dry, irritated eyes and mimics natural tears. This lubricant helps stabilise the tear film, reducing dryness and discomfort caused by prolonged screen use, exposure to wind or air conditioning and environmental pollutants. The formulation contains Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) and essential electrolytes that contribute to ocular surface health. The soothing gel texture provides long-lasting hydration, making it suitable for individuals experiencing occasional or chronic dry eye symptoms.

• Calcium Chloride: Calcium chloride plays a vital role in maintaining ocular surface integrity. It supports the epithelial cells of the cornea, helping maintain their structural strength and function. Calcium also plays a role in cell signalling, contributing to tear film stability and improving overall eye hydration.
   
• Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC): HPMC acts as a viscoelastic agent, forming a protective layer over the eye surface. This ingredient enhances the retention time of the lubricant, ensuring prolonged hydration and minimising moisture loss. HPMC also helps in reducing discomfort caused by dry eye conditions, improving lubrication for smoother blinking.
   
• Magnesium Chloride: Magnesium is essential for ocular health, as it plays a role in cellular function and reduces oxidative stress in the eye tissues. Magnesium chloride helps regulate cellular processes in the corneal and conjunctival epithelial cells, supporting tear production and reducing irritation.
   
• Potassium Chloride: Potassium is a crucial electrolyte in tear fluid that maintains osmotic balance and manages excessive water loss from the ocular surface. It helps in reducing the risk of corneal dehydration and promotes overall eye comfort.
   
• Sodium Acetate: Sodium acetate serves as a buffering agent that maintains the pH balance of the lubricant, ensuring it remains gentle on the eyes. It also supports the natural tear film composition, reducing discomfort and irritation.
   
• Sodium Chloride: Sodium chloride helps maintain the natural electrolyte balance in tears, supporting hydration and reducing the eyes from feeling dry or gritty. It contributes to the overall osmotic balance required for a stable tear film.
   
• Sodium Citrate: Sodium citrate acts as an antioxidant and buffering agent, helping to maintain the stability of the tear film. It reduces oxidative damage to the ocular surface, reducing irritation and dryness caused by external environmental factors.

• Relieves Dry Eye Symptoms: Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant is specifically designed to alleviate discomfort caused by dry eyes. It replenishes moisture, ensuring that the ocular surface remains well-hydrated and comfortable. This lubricant helps in restoring moisture, reducing feelings of grittiness and irritation.
   
• Improves Tear Film Stability: The formulation of Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant enhances the stability of the natural tear film, reducing excessive tear evaporation. A balanced tear film is essential for clear vision and ocular comfort. By mimicking the natural composition of tears, the lubricant ensures optimal hydration and protects the corneal surface from drying out.
   
• Soothe Eye Irritation and Redness: Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant provides relief from eye irritation caused by dust, wind, smoke and other environmental pollutants. The soothing gel formulation forms a protective barrier, reducing irritants from aggravating the ocular surface. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who frequently experience redness, burning or itching sensations due to external irritants.
   
• Reduces Eye Fatigue and Strain: Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant helps in reducing strain by keeping the eyes hydrated and refreshed. Regular application can improve visual comfort, especially for those who work extensively on computers or use mobile devices for extended periods.
   
• Enhances Comfort for Contact Lens Wearers: Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant provides long-lasting lubrication, ensuring a comfortable lens-wearing experience. By hydrating the eyes, it minimises friction between the contact lenses and the cornea, reducing discomfort.
   
• Supports Ocular Recovery Post-Eye Procedures: Lacrigel Ocular Lubricant helps in providing hydration and soothing relief, supporting the recovery process. However, it is advisable to consult an ophthalmologist before use after surgical procedures.

• Wash hands thoroughly before application.
• Tilt the head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid.
• Apply a small amount of gel inside the lower eyelid.
• Blink a few times to spread the gel evenly across the eye surface.
• Use as needed or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• For external ophthalmic use only.
• Avoid touching the tip of the tube to control contamination.
• If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult an eye specialist.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
