Description

Overview of the medicine

Freshfil-1 Eye Drop is an ophthalmic lubricant used to relieve dry, irritated eyes by moistening them and providing a protective film.

Uses & Indications

Temporary relief of burning, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness of the eye or exposure to wind or sun.

As a protectant against further irritation.

To lubricate artificial eyes.

Dosage

Adults

Instill 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. Frequency may vary based on individual symptoms and doctor's advice.

Elderly

Same as adult dosage. No specific adjustment required.

Renal_impairment

No dosage adjustment necessary as systemic absorption is minimal.

How to Take

For ophthalmic use only. Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch, instill the prescribed number of drops, and then close the eye gently. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to avoid contamination.

Mechanism of Action

Carboxymethylcellulose forms a protective viscous film over the ocular surface, stabilizing the natural tear film, reducing surface friction, and providing lubrication.

Pharmacokinetics

Onset

Immediate upon instillation.

Excretion

Excreted via tear drainage and blinking.

Half life

Not applicable as it acts locally and is not systemically absorbed or metabolized.

Absorption

Not systemically absorbed after ocular administration due to its high molecular weight.

Metabolism

Not metabolized systemically. Partially eliminated through tear drainage.

Side Effects

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to carboxymethylcellulose or any component of the formulation.

Drug Interactions

Other Ophthalmic Preparations

If using other eye medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes between administrations to avoid washing out the previous medication.

Storage

Store at room temperature (below 30°C). Do not freeze. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of reach of children.

Overdose

Overdose is highly unlikely with ocular administration. If accidental ingestion occurs, it is generally harmless, but seek medical advice if any symptoms develop.

Pregnancy & Lactation

Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation as systemic absorption is negligible. Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
