Cornigel 5 g Ointment

Cornigel 5 g Ointment is an eye lubricant ointment made with lanolin, mineral oil, and white soft paraffin. Each tube contains 5 g of ointment designed to help relieve dryness, irritation, burning, and discomfort from dry eye or exposure to wind, smoke, or prolonged screen use. It forms a soothing protective layer over the eye surface to reduce moisture loss and improve comfort. Cornigel 5 g Ointment is intended for temporary relief of dry, irritated eyes and related surface eye symptoms.

How it works: Lanolin, mineral oil, and white soft paraffin are lubricating ingredients that coat the surface of the eye and help hold moisture in place. In ointment form, they stay on the eye longer than drops, so Cornigel 5 g Ointment can provide extended soothing relief.

Cornigel 5 g Ointment is a standard single-tube eye ointment size rather than a higher-potency medicine, so the 5 g refers to the amount of ointment in each tube, not a stronger drug concentration. Because it is an ointment, it can feel thicker and blur vision briefly after application, which is one reason a doctor may prefer it for nighttime or longer-lasting lubrication compared with eye drops.

• Dry eye relief
• Eye irritation and burning
• Protecting the eye surface from dryness
• Lubrication for exposed or irritated eyes
• Temporary relief of minor eye discomfort

• Wash your hands before using Cornigel 5 g Ointment.
• Pull down the lower eyelid and place a small ribbon of ointment inside the pocket of the eye.
• Do not let the tip of the tube touch the eye, eyelid, or any surface.
• Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after applying the ointment.
• Use it at the time and frequency your doctor recommends; many people prefer bedtime use because vision can blur temporarily.
• If you use other eye medicines, apply eye drops first and wait before using the ointment unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Cornigel 5 g Ointment is supplied as a 5 g tube, and the amount used each time is usually a small ribbon placed in the affected eye rather than the full tube. The exact frequency and maximum number of applications per day should be set by your doctor, because the right schedule depends on how severe the dryness is and whether it is being used during the day or at bedtime.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
