Hypromellose+sodium Perborate
About
Hypromellose+sodium Perborate is used to provide temporary relief from burning sensation, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness of the eye or due to irritation from wind and sun. Dry eye is an eye condition that occurs when the tears are unable to provide ample lubrication for the eyes.
Hypromellose+sodium Perborate is a combination of two drugs, namely: Hypromellose and Sodium perborate. Hypromellose acts as a lubricant that works as natural tears and helps in providing relief from burning sensation, dryness, and discomfort. Sodium perborate is an oxidative preservative with antimicrobial properties. Together, Hypromellose+sodium Perborate helps in treating dry eyes.
You are advised to use Hypromellose+sodium Perborate for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you depending on your medical condition. In some cases, Hypromellose+sodium Perborate may cause common side effects such as pain, irritation, blurred vision, and redness of the eye. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Talk to your doctor if the irritation persists despite using Hypromellose+sodium Perborate for three days or if it worsens. Consult your doctor before using Hypromellose+sodium Perborate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Hypromellose+sodium Perborate should be used in children only if prescribed by the doctor.
