About Softdrops Eye Drop

Softdrops Eye Drop belongs to the class of medicines called 'ophthalmic lubricants' generally used to treat dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is a common condition that occurs if you don't produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage to the eye's surface.

Softdrops Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Carboxymethylcellulose and Glycerin. Carboxymethylcellulose works by increasing tear viscosity in the eye. Glycerin is an ophthalmic demulcent (forms a soothing film) that works by lubricating the eye's mucous membrane surfaces. In this way, it provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort.

Softdrops Eye Drop should be taken as advised by your doctor. Some of the minor side effects are burning/stinging/ irritation may occur temporarily. Whereas serious side effects are eye pain and eye redness/irritation may occur. If it persists, take the advice of your doctor.

Before using this Softdrops Eye Drop, tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of the medicine components and wash your hands before using Softdrops Eye Drop to avoid contamination. Do not touch the bottle's tip to avoid contamination; replace the cap tightly after each use. Do not use a solution which is colour changed and cloudy in appearance. It is for external use only and use before the expiration date. Do not change or stop the dose of medicine without informing your doctor. Do not drive, use machinery, or perform any activity until your vision is clear, as Softdrops Eye Drop causes temporary blurred vision.
