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.

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.
