Dosage

Sodium Hyaluronate + Ectoine dosage

Generally, adults and children 6 years and older instil one drop of HYLO DUAL three times a day into the conjunctival sac of each eye. If you apply HYLO DUAL more frequently (e.g. more than 10 times per day) or suffer from more severe complaints you should consult an ophthalmologist in regular intervals.HYLO DUAL can be used while wearing contact lenses. After inserting contact lenses, waiting for about 30 minutes before applying the eye drops is recommended. In this way, you avoid intolerance reactions which may occur due to interactions between lens care products and HYLO DUAL. Based on the available evidence HYLO DUAL may be used in children 6 years and older, and pregnant and breast-feeding women.HYLO DUAL should not be used if you are hypersensitive to one of the ingredients and in children younger than 6 years. Step 1: Remove the cap before use. To do this, hold the cap above the bottle. With your other hand, pull away the bottle from the cap with a rotary movement. Before the first application please turn the HYLO DUAL bottle with its tip down and press the bottom of the bottle repeatedly until the first drop appears at the nozzle. Now the bottle is ready for further use.Step 2: Hold the bottle upside down and place your thumb on the shoulder of the bottle and the other fingers on the base of the bottle.Step 3: Support the hand holding the COMOD-bottle with your other hand.Step 4: When applying the eye drops, please avoid any contact between the tip of the bottle and your eye and skin. With your head leaning back slightly, gently pull down your lower eyelid. Press the base of the bottle vigorously and quickly. This activates the mechanism to release one drop. Because of the special COMOD valve system, the size and speed of each drop remain constant regardless of the pressure applied to the base of the bottle. Slowly close your eyes to allow the fluid to spread evenly on the eye surface.Step 5: Replace cap immediately after use. Ensure that the dropper tip is dry.

Side Effects

In very rare cases adverse reactions like hypersensitivity, burning or excessive tearing, pain, foreign body sensation or other temporary local irritations have been reported which stop when the use of HYLO DUAL is discontinued. Please note that temporary blurred vision is possible after application of HYLO DUAL due to the viscosity of the eye drops solution. In very rare cases this may cause temporary headache in sensitive patients.
