- Description
- Ducira Gel is a high-performance ocular lubricant formulated for persistent dry eye syndrome. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) is a high-viscosity polymer that acts as an "artificial tear," forming a durable, transparent protective film over the cornea to reduce friction and eliminate the "gritty" sensation. A standout feature is the Sodium Perborate Monohydrate preservative system; it is a "vanishing" preservative that converts into water and oxygen upon contact with the eye, offering the safety of a multi-dose container without the irritation of traditional preservatives. This gel is thicker than standard drops, providing prolonged moisture and protection against environmental irritants, making it particularly effective for overnight use or severe tear deficiency.
- Key benefits
- Provides prolonged lubrication and protection for severely dry eyes while utilizing a gentle, vanishing preservative system.
- Side effects
- Temporary blurred vision, Mild stinging upon application, Crusty eyelashes, Eye redness, Light sensitivity.
- How to use
- Wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and apply a small ribbon of gel into the pocket. Close your eye for 1 to 2 minutes to allow the gel to spread evenly. Best used before bedtime or as directed by your doctor.
