Q. What is Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose?
Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose belongs to a class of medicines called eye lubricants or artificial tears. It is available as eye drops. It is used to soothe irritation, burning and discomfort of dry eye conditions. One may experience such conditions because of deficient tear production, infrequent blinking, smoke, wind, pollution, extended use of computer screen or television, medical treatment or dry atmospheric conditions. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose may also be used to aid insertion of lenses or to make the lenses more comfortable while wearing.
Q. Is Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose effective?
Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is effective if used in the dose and duration advised by your doctor. Do not stop taking it even if you see improvement in your condition. If you stop using Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose too early, the symptoms may return or worsen.
Q. How should Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose be used?
If you are using it for dry eyes, instil 1 or 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. If you are using it to lubricate soft and rigid gas-permeable lenses, apply 1 to 2 drops to each eye with the lenses on as needed or as directed by your doctor. Blink several times after pouring the drops. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.
