Aqualube Liquigel 10 ml

Aqualube Liquigel is used to treat dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

Aqualube Liquigel is a combination of two medicines: Carboxymethylcellulose and Glycerin. Carboxymethylcellulose works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. Glycerin is an ophthalmic demulcent (forms a soothing film) that works by lubricating the eye's mucous membrane surfaces. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort.

Aqualube Liquigel should be taken as advised by your doctor. Some of the minor side effects are burning/stinging/ irritation may occur temporarily. Whereas serious side effects are eye pain and eye redness/irritation may occur. If it persists, take the advice of your doctor.

Before using this Aqualube Liquigel, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of the medicine components and wash your hands before using Aqualube Liquigel to avoid contamination. Do not touch the bottle's tip to avoid contamination; replace the cap tightly after each use. Do not use a solution which is colour changed and cloudy in appearance. It is for external use only and used before the expiration date. Do not change or stop the dose of medicine without informing your doctor. Do not drive, use machinery, or perform any activity until your vision is clear, as Aqualube Liquigel causes temporary blurred vision.

Dry eye disease: Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs when your tears are not able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. The tearing instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eyes' surface. Symptoms include a burning sensation, sensitivity to light, eye redness, a sensation of having something in your eyes, watery eyes, and blurred vision. It is caused by disruption of the healthy tear film by hormonal changes, autoimmune disease, inflamed eyelid glands, ageing, keeping contact lenses and using some medications like antihistamines (fexofenadine), and people who have undergone laser eye surgery.
