G-Hypromellose

G-Hypromellose Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose belongs to the group of medicines known as artificial tears. It is used to relieve dryness and irritation caused by reduced tear flow. It helps prevent damage to the eye in certain eye diseases. Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose may also be used to moisten hard contact lenses and artificial eyes. In addition, it may be used in certain eye examinations.

Hypromellose stabilises and thickens the precorneal tear film and prolongs the tear film breakup time thereby promoting corneal wetting. It also lubricates and protects the eye.

Uses

G-Hypromellose gel is used for a surgical aid during surgical procedures involving the anterior chamber of the eye, including extraction of the lens, and insertion of intraocular lenses. It maintains the depth of the anterior chamber during the whole surgical procedure and permits greater operative precision without the risk of damaging the endothelium of the cornea or other intraocular tissues.

G-Hypromellose eye drop is used to treat dry eye conditions where not enough tears are produced to keep the eye lubricated and clean
