Description
Overview of the medicine
g-fresh-05-09-eye-drop is an ophthalmic solution containing Sodium Hyaluronate, used to relieve dry eyes, burning, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness of the eye. It provides long-lasting lubrication and moisture.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Instill 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) 3-4 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No dosage adjustment required.
How to Take
For ophthalmic use only. Tilt head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch. Instill the prescribed number of drops into the pouch. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface to avoid contamination. Close eyes gently for a few seconds.
Mechanism of Action
Sodium Hyaluronate is a natural polysaccharide present in the human eye. It binds water and forms a viscoelastic layer on the surface of the eye, stabilizing the tear film and providing lubrication, thereby reducing friction and protecting the corneal epithelium.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Immediate relief upon instillation.
Excretion
Primarily eliminated locally. Minimal systemic excretion.
Half life
Not applicable for systemic half-life due to minimal systemic absorption; effect on ocular surface persists for several hours.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption after ocular administration. Primarily acts locally on the ocular surface.
Metabolism
Locally degraded by hyaluronidase enzymes present in ocular tissues. No significant systemic metabolism.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to Sodium Hyaluronate or any component of the formulation
Drug Interactions
Other Eye Drops
If using other ophthalmic medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applications to avoid washout.
Storage
Store at room temperature (below 30°C). Protect from light. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
No adverse effects are expected from an ocular overdose due to minimal systemic absorption. If accidentally ingested, no serious effects are anticipated; however, seek medical advice if concerned.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops are generally considered safe during pregnancy and lactation as systemic absorption is minimal. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding.
