Carbomer 0.2% Eye Gel 10g

If your doctor has prescribed Carbomer Gel he/she will tell you how and when to use it and the dose will be on the pharmacist’s label. The usual dosage is:

Adults (including the elderly): One drop in each affected eye, three or four times a day.

• Wash your hands.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and do not replace for at least 15 minutes.
• Hold the tube vertically.
• Tilt your head backwards.
• Rest one hand on your cheek and gently pull down your lower eye lid.
• Look upwards.
• Insert one drop by squeezing the tube gently.
• Blink a few times to spread the liquid gel evenly over your eye.
• Wipe away any excess gel from around the eyelids.
• Repeat for your other eye if required.

NOTE: Do not touch your eye or the surrounding area with the tip of the dropper as this may cause injury to the eye and contaminate the gel.

• Active Ingredient: Each gram of eye gel contains 2mg of carbomer.
• Other Ingredients: Dependent on brand.

• Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used or might use any other medicines. If you are using other eye drop or eye ointment medicines, wait at least 5 minutes between each medicine. Carbomer Gel should always be the last eye drops used.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant or are planning to have a baby, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine.
• A preservative in Carbomer Gel may cause eye irritation and is also known to discolour soft contact lenses. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using Carbomer Gel and wait at least 15 minutes before putting your lenses back in.
• Some people may find that their vision is blurred immediately after using Carbomer Gel. If affected, wait until your vision clears before you drive or use machinery.
• In children and adolescents aged to 18 years, the safety and efficacy of Carbomer Gel at the posology recommended in adults has been established by clinical experience, but no clinical trial data are available.
• Only use Carbomer Gel in your eye(s).
• If you have problems with your eyes apart from sore or dry eyes talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you start to use Carbomer Gel.
• If you experience eye pain, vision changes, irritation of the eyes, persistent redness, or if the condition worsens or persists, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
