Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drops 0.1%w/v
Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drop is a lubricant. It is applied in the management of dry eyes. It moistifies the eyes and provides relief from uneasiness and temporary burning. It also aids in the management of corneal burns by creating a soothing layer that minimizes irritation and covers the injured cornea.
Sodium Hyaluronate Eye Drop is normally administered whenever required. Use the drops as directed by your physician. Allow a minimum of 5-10 minutes before administering any other medication in the same eye to prevent dilution. Do not use a bottle if the seal has been broken before you open it if the solution becomes colored, or cloudy. Wash your hands at all times and never touch the tip of the dropper because it might infect your eye.
