THILO-TEARS™: Your Solution for Dry Eyes

Dry eyes can be a frustrating and uncomfortable condition, often caused by insufficient or defective wetting of the eye’s surface. THILO-TEARS™, a sterile ophthalmic gel containing Carbomer as its active ingredient, is designed to provide relief for dry eye symptoms and is suitable for various eye conditions. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the details of THILO-TEARS™, including its composition, usage, dosage, precautions, and more.

Composition

THILO-TEARS™ contains Carbomer as its active ingredient, present at a concentration of 3 mg/g. This crucial component helps increase the viscosity of the gel and forms a protective moist layer on the eye’s surface. Additionally, the formulation includes other excipients such as Sorbitol, Benzalkonium Chloride, Sodium Hydroxide, and purified water, with a total composition of up to 1 g.

Usage and Dosage

THILO-TEARS™ is indicated for “dry eye” conditions resulting from various factors, including environmental factors like wind and dryness, prolonged computer use, and the use of contact lenses. To use, simply instill one drop into the conjunctival sac of the eye four times daily or as needed. It’s essential to hold the tube vertically during application to prevent excessive drops or eyelash sticking. Ensure that the tube’s tip does not come into direct contact with the eye or eyelids to prevent infection.

Precautions and Contraindications

• THILO-TEARS™ should only be used for ocular purposes and should not be injected or ingested.
• Avoid wearing contact lenses during treatment with THILO-TEARS™, as it contains Benzalkonium Chloride, which can cause eye irritation and discolor soft contact lenses. Remove contact lenses before applying the gel and wait at least 15 minutes before reinsertion.
• If you experience eye pain, vision changes, persistent irritation, or symptoms lasting more than three days, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.

Safety and Side Effects

THILO-TEARS™ is generally considered safe; however, some common side effects may include blurred vision, eye pain, itching, increased tearing, and a foreign body sensation in the eye. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.

Pregnancy and Lactation

THILO-TEARS™ is considered safe for use during pregnancy and lactation. The active component, Carbomer, is not expected to be absorbed systemically or affect reproduction or fetal development.

Effects on Driving and Machine Use

THILO-TEARS™ should not significantly impact your ability to drive or operate machinery. Temporary blurred vision may occur immediately after application, so wait until your vision clears before engaging in these activities.

Conclusion

THILO-TEARS™ offers effective relief for dry eye symptoms and related discomfort. When used as directed and following the provided precautions, this ophthalmic gel can help alleviate bothersome symptoms and provide effective eye surface hydration. If you have any concerns or questions about using THILO-TEARS™, don’t hesitate to consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist for more information and guidance.
