Description
Overview of the medicine
Tearfil is a lubricating eye drop used to relieve dryness and irritation of the eyes. It helps to moisten, soothe, and protect the eyes.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Instill 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) 3-4 times daily, or as often as needed.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment is required for elderly patients; use as for adults.
Renal_impairment
No dosage adjustment needed as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt head back, pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pouch. Hold the dropper tip directly over the eye and instill the prescribed number of drops. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface (e.g., eye, eyelid, hand) to avoid contamination. Close eye gently for a few seconds.
Mechanism of Action
Carboxymethylcellulose sodium forms a viscous, protective layer on the ocular surface, mimicking the natural tear film. This helps to lubricate the eyes, reduce friction, and keep them moist, thereby alleviating dry eye symptoms.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Immediate upon instillation.
Excretion
Primarily cleared from the ocular surface via tear turnover; minimal systemic excretion.
Half life
Not applicable for topical ophthalmic agents with negligible systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption due to its high molecular weight and topical application.
Metabolism
Not significantly metabolized due to minimal systemic absorption.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- •Known hypersensitivity to carboxymethylcellulose sodium or any other component of the formulation.
Drug Interactions
Other Ophthalmic Medications
If using other eye drops or ointments, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applications to allow each medication to be absorbed properly. Apply Tearfil last if it is a gel or ointment.
Storage
Store at room temperature (below 30°C), away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity due to the topical nature of the application and minimal absorption. If excessive drops are accidentally applied, rinse the eye with water. If swallowed, it is generally considered harmless, but consult a doctor if any unusual symptoms occur.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Generally considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation due to minimal systemic absorption. However, consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
