Carboxymethyl-Cellulose 0.5% W/V + Oxychloro Complex 0.75% W/V

Carboxymethyl-Cellulose 0.5% W/V + Oxychloro Complex 0.75% W/V — Uses and Benefits

This composition is mainly used to treat dryness and irritation of the eyes caused by reduced tear production or environmental factors.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Relief of dry, itchy, or irritated eyes
• Lubrication for eyes strained by prolonged screen use, wind, or air conditioning
• Comfort during and after use of contact lenses

HOW IT WORKS

• Carboxymethyl-cellulose forms a thin protective film over the eye surface that mimics natural tears
• It helps retain moisture and reduces friction between the eyelid and eye surface
