Celluvisc 1% Eye Drops – 30 Single-doses

Description

Celluvisc 1% Eye Drops – 30 Single-doses

Celluvisc 1% Eye Drops contain carmellose sodium, an eye lubricant used to relieve the symptoms of dry eyes, such as soreness, burning, irritation, and a gritty feeling. They come as 30 individual single-dose units, each containing 0.4 ml of solution, making them preservative-free and convenient for on-the-go use.

How It Works

Carmellose sodium is a gel-forming lubricant that mimics the natural tear film of the eye. When applied, it spreads across the surface of the eye, forming a moist, protective layer that soothes dryness and reduces irritation. This helps to stabilise the tear film and keep the eye comfortable for longer.

Directions for Use

For adults and children: instil one or two drops into the affected eye(s) as needed to relieve dryness and discomfort. Each single-dose unit is for one-time use — once opened, any remaining solution should be discarded immediately and not stored for later use. Do not use whilst wearing contact lenses; remove lenses before applying the drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Celluvisc 1% Eye Drops are generally considered suitable for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding, as systemic absorption through topical eye use is minimal.

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between Celluvisc 1% Eye Drops and alcohol. This medicine is applied directly to the eye and is not taken orally, so alcohol consumption is not expected to affect how it works.
