Description
Overview of the medicine
Hyalin-01 Eye Drop contains Sodium Hyaluronate, a natural substance found in the human eye. It acts as an artificial tear to relieve dryness, irritation, and discomfort associated with dry eye syndrome and other ocular surface conditions. It helps to moisturize and lubricate the eyes, providing long-lasting relief.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Instill 1-2 drops into the affected eye(s) 3-4 times daily, or as needed.
Elderly
No dosage adjustment is generally required for elderly patients.
Renal_impairment
No dosage adjustment is generally required for patients with renal impairment, as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid to form a pocket, and instill the prescribed number of drops. Close your eye gently for a few seconds. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface to avoid contamination.
Mechanism of Action
Sodium Hyaluronate is a viscoelastic polymer with high water retention capabilities. When applied to the eye, it forms a stable, protective, and lubricating film over the ocular surface, mimicking natural tears. This film reduces friction during blinking, retains moisture, and promotes epithelial healing, thereby alleviating dry eye symptoms.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Rapid onset of action, typically within minutes of application.
Excretion
Locally cleared from the ocular surface.
Half life
Not applicable for systemic half-life; local action on ocular surface.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption expected due to topical ocular application.
Metabolism
Locally metabolized by hyaluronidase enzymes in ocular tissues.
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 prevent washout.
Storage
Store at room temperature (below 30°C). Do not freeze. Protect from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is highly unlikely with topical ocular administration. If accidentally ingested or excessive amounts are applied, rinse the eye with lukewarm water. Symptomatic treatment may be initiated if necessary.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Sodium Hyaluronate eye drops are generally considered safe during pregnancy and lactation due to minimal systemic absorption. However, consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.
