About Hylogen HPMC 2% Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Ophthalmic Solution USP 2% w/v

Hylogen HPMC 2% Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose Ophthalmic Solution USP (2% w/v) is a lubricating eye drop specifically formulated to relieve dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes. The active ingredient, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), is a viscous polymer that mimics the natural tear film, providing soothing and long-lasting hydration for the eyes.
Uses

Dry Eye Syndrome:
Provides relief from symptoms such as dryness, irritation, burning, and a gritty sensation caused by insufficient natural tear production.

Post-Surgical Care:
Helps protect and hydrate the eyes following surgical procedures like cataract removal or LASIK.

Environmental Factors:
Protects eyes from dryness caused by prolonged screen exposure, air conditioning, wind, or other environmental stressors.

How It Works
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) creates a protective and lubricating film over the surface of the eye. This artificial tear layer retains moisture, reduces friction during blinking, and protects the eyes from further irritation, improving overall comfort.
Dosage

Instill 1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed, or as prescribed by a healthcare provider.

Blink a few times after application to evenly distribute the solution.

Precautions

Sterility:
Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface, including your eyes, to prevent contamination.

Contact Lenses:
Remove contact lenses before applying the drops unless directed otherwise by your doctor.

Allergic Reactions:
Stop use and consult your doctor if you experience redness, swelling, or itching.

Potential Side Effects

Temporary blurred vision after application.

Mild irritation or discomfort in rare cases.

Storage

Store at room temperature (15“25C) in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use and keep it out of reach of children.

Hylogen HPMC 2% is an effective solution for managing dry eyes caused by various conditions or environmental stress. For persistent symptoms or concerns, consult your ophthalmologist for tailored advice.
