Uses / Indications:
Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca, often known as dry eye syndrome
Wind, smoke, dust, or pollution might irritate your eyes.
Burning and feeling like something is in your eyes
Dryness after laser or cataract surgery
Dryness caused by contact lenses (if your doctor says so)
Flogel protects and soothes the eye surface to keep it from getting worse and hurting more.
Pregnancy interaction:
Carboxymethylcellulose only works in the eye and doesn't get into the bloodstream very much, therefore it's unlikely to disrupt pregnancy or the unborn kid.
Still, you should only use it when your eye doctor tells you to and when you really need it.
Breastfeeding:
Flogel is thought to be safe for breastfeeding because systemic exposure is low.
Expert advice:
Flogel helps people with chronic or severe dry eyes feel better for a long time.
Use it consistently if you have symptoms that don't go away, because it builds up moisture.
If your eyesight is blurry for a short while, wait until it clears up before driving or using machinery.
Do not touch the tip of the bottle to keep it clean.
Throw away after four weeks of opening the bottle.
Keep it at room temperature (below 25°C) and out of the light.
Don't put your contact lenses back in right after; wait 15 minutes before doing so.
Side Effects:
Vision may be blurry for a short time after use.
A mild burning or stinging feeling
Eyes that are watery
Feeling sticky in the eyes right after use
Uncommon Side Effects
Swelling or redness in the eyes
Pain or itching in the eye
Rash, irritation, and other allergic symptoms
If your symptoms don't go away or get worse, stop taking the medicine and see your doctor.
How to use:
Before putting on the drops, wash your hands well.
Gently shake the bottle.
Pull down your lower eyelid and tilt your head back to make a little pocket.
Put one or two drops in the affected eye(s) as needed or as your doctor tells you to.
Blink a few times to make sure the solution is equally spread.
Don't let the tip of the dropper touch anything or your eye.
After using, make sure the cap is on tightly.
If you have to take more than one eye medicine, wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before putting on the next one.
How it works:
Flogel has 1% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a thick polymer that keeps moisture on the surface of the eye.
It produces a protective layer over the cornea that keeps it from drying out and keeps it hydrated.
The gel-based product lasts longer than regular fake tears.
It also helps cure small irritations and keeps the natural tear film
