Softeal

Softeal Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose 0.3% w/v ophthalmic solution USP 10ml sterile eye drops. The ophthalmic solution is a sterile (clear aqueous solution).

Package Contains: Each Softeal package contains 10ml sterile eye drops in a plastic dropper bottle & a leaflet.

Composition: Each ml contains:

Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose USP 3.0mg.

USP Specification.

Dosage: As directed by the physician.

Dosage & Administration: Instill 1 or 2 drops in each eye(s) and blink several times or apply a few drops to each lens before insertion. If more than one medication needs to be instilled in the eye, an interval of at least ten minutes between applications of the different products must be allowed, Softeal Ophthalmic Solution should be applied last.

Indications: Lubricant eye drops for wetting the surface of the eye and for wearers of all types of contact lenses.

Clinical Pharmacology: Softeal Ophthalmic Solution is suitable for use with all types of contact lenses to increase comfort of the lens during wear or to aid in the insertion of the contact lens. The product has a buffered pH close to that of tears and contains a unique disappearing preservative, sodium perborate. Sodium perborate degrades in water to yield trace amounts of hydrogen peroxide (50-500 ppm), providing an antimicrobial action. Instilled in the eye, hydrogen peroxide is rapidly degraded by catalases to yield water and oxygen.

The antimicrobial buffer system results in a solution that is free of the usual preservatives, which may cause hypersensitivity or allergic reactions, and yet prevents the opened bottle from becoming contaminated.

Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any excipients of the product.

Precautions: If eye pain, changes in vision, continued redness or irritation of the eye occur, discontinue the use and consult your physician. For ophthalmic use only. Not for injection, should never be injected subconjunctivally, nor should they be directly introduced into the anterior chamber of the eye.

The bottle tip remains sterile until the seal is broken. Patients must be instructed to avoid touching the tip of the bottle to the eyes, surrounding structures or anything else as this may contaminate the contents.

Pregnancy & Lactation: There are no adequate and well controlled studies available. The drug should be used during pregnancy and lactation only if the potential benefit justifies the anticipated risk or as suggested by the treating physician.

Pediatric Use: The safety and effectiveness of Softeal Ophthalmic Solution in infants below one year of age have not been established.

Geriatric Use: No overall differences in safety and effectiveness have been observed between elderly patients.

Side Effects: Hypromellose Solution is very well tolerated. However, some cases of burning, stinging, allergic reactions or red eyes after instillation have been reported. Transient blurring of vision after administration has also been reported.
