Mechanism of Action:
Carboxymethylcellulose is a type of artificial tear that acts as a lubricant and moisturizer for the eyes. It forms a protective film over the surface of the eye, helping to retain moisture and prevent evaporation of tears. This helps to alleviate dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes.
Uses:
Lubimaxx Gel Eye Drops are used to relieve dryness and irritation in the eyes caused by insufficient tear production or exposure to environmental factors such as wind, smoke, or dry air.
Indications:
1. Dry eye syndrome
2. Eye irritation or discomfort due to environmental factors
3. Contact lens discomfort (to provide lubrication and relieve dryness)
Side Effects: Common side effects may include:
1. Temporary blurring of vision after instillation
2. Mild eye irritation or stinging sensation
3. Redness of the eye
4. Allergic reactions such as itching or swelling of the eye (rare)
Dosage:
The dosage of Lubimaxx Gel Eye Drops depends on the severity of dryness and the individual's response to treatment. Typically, one or two drops are instilled into the affected eye(s) as needed, usually 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It's important to avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination and to wait at least 5 minutes between using other eye medications if prescribed alongside Lubimaxx Gel Eye Drops.
