Carboxymethylcellulose (1% w/v)
Active composition
Carboxymethylcellulose acts as a lubricant, increasing moisture retention and providing protection against irritation in the eye.
Medical applications
Lacrimos Gel contains Carboxymethylcellulose 1% w/v as its active ingredient, a hydrophilic polymer widely used as a lubricant and artificial tear substitute for the management of dry eye syndrome. This ophthalmic gel formulation is designed to provide prolonged ocular surface hydration by mimicking the natural tear film, thereby alleviating symptoms such as dryness, irritation, burning, and foreign body sensation associated with keratoconjunctivitis sicca and other conditions causing tear film insufficiency. Lacrimos Gel exhibits viscoelastic properties that enhance retention time on the corneal and conjunctival epithelium, promoting comfort and ocular surface protection. The gel’s isotonic and preservative-free formulation reduces the risk of ocular irritation and hypersensitivity reactions, making it suitable for frequent use, including in patients with sensitive eyes or those who wear contact lenses. Administration involves instillation of one or two drops into the affected eye(s) as needed, with dosage adjusted according to symptom severity. Lacrimos Gel is contraindicated in cases of known hypersensitivity to Carboxymethylcellulose or any excipients. It is intended for topical ophthalmic use only and should be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring is advised for patients with persistent or worsening symptoms.
How to use Lacrimos Eye Drop This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use.
