About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Lacrivisc DS 1% Eye Drop contains Carboxymethylcellulose 1% w/v, a viscous ophthalmic lubricant designed to provide effective relief from dry eye symptoms. It acts by mimicking natural tears, thereby enhancing moisture retention on the ocular surface and promoting lubrication. This formulation is particularly beneficial in managing conditions characterized by tear film instability or deficiency, such as keratoconjunctivitis sicca, exposure keratitis, and postoperative dryness following ocular surgery. Lacrivisc DS helps to reduce irritation, burning, and discomfort associated with dry eyes, improving patient comfort and visual clarity. The preservative-free formulation minimizes the risk of hypersensitivity reactions and is suitable for frequent use, including in patients with sensitive eyes or those requiring long-term therapy. Administration involves instilling one or two drops into the affected eye(s) as needed, with dosage tailored according to symptom severity and clinical response. Lacrivisc DS is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Carboxymethylcellulose or any component of the formulation. As a non-medicated lubricant, it does not treat underlying infections or inflammations; therefore, appropriate diagnosis and management of ocular conditions should be ensured. Storage should be at room temperature, protected from light and contamination.
