Retears Liquigel Ophthalmic Solution: Each ml contains Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium USP 10 mg.
Retears Liquigel is a preparation of sterile Lubricating Eye Drops containing Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium which provides soothing relief for dry, irritated eyes with a formula that resembles your body s own tears. Retears Liquigel contains a unique, mild, non-sensitizing preservative that, when used, ultimately changes into components of natural tears (sodium chloride + water). Use Retears Liquigel for long lasting relief of your dry, irritated eyes as often as needed.
Each mL Retears Liquigel contains Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium USP 10 mg as active ingredient. Preservative: Stabilized Oxychloro Complex 0.075 mg.
Instill 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. If irritation persists or increases, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Concomitant ocular medications should be administered at least 5 minutes apart from the instillation of Retears™ Liquigel to avoid washout effects.
Use in Special Population:
No known drug interactions.
There are no specific study data on the use of Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Ophthalmic Solution during pregnancy in humans; however, nonclinical studies with Carboxymethylcellulose have not demonstrated any harmful effects in pregnancy.
Lactation:
Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Ophthalmic Solution has also not been studied in breast-feeding women; however, Carboxymethylcellulose is not expected to be systemically absorbed; therefore, it would not be expected to be excreted in human breast milk.
Pediatric use:
Safety and effectiveness have not been demonstrated with Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Ophthalmic Solution in pediatric patients.
Geriatric use:
No overall differences in safety or effectiveness have been observed between elderly and other adult patients.
Effects on ability to Drive and use Machines:
Retears™ Liquigel may cause transient blurring of vision which may impair the ability to drive or operate machines. The patients should wait until their vision has cleared before driving or using machinery.
Overdose:
Since Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium is pharmacologically inert and not absorbed systemically, systemic intoxication from topical overdose is not expected from ocular administration of Retears™ Liquigel. Additionally, no adverse side effects are expected should accidental systemic overdose occur.
