Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL

Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL is an eye lubricant that contains hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 0.3% in each drop. It belongs to the artificial tears class and is used to relieve dryness, burning, irritation, and discomfort caused by dry eyes. This Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL is designed to coat and soothe the surface of the eye when natural tears are not enough. It may also help protect the eyes from further irritation.

How it works: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose works by forming a moist, soothing layer over the eye’s surface. In Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL, that film helps replace some of the lubrication your tears normally provide and reduces friction and dryness.

Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL is a higher-strength lubricating eye drop compared with lower-concentration or smaller-volume eye drop options in the same product family. Doctors may choose this strength when a person needs more noticeable lubrication or longer-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms. Because it is a 0.3% eye drop, it should be used exactly as directed for the individual patient rather than self-adjusted.

• Dry eyes
• Eye burning from dryness
• Eye irritation
• Eye discomfort from reduced tear production
• Temporary lubrication for sensitive eyes

• Wash your hands before using Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• If vision is blurred right after the drop, wait until your vision clears before driving or using machinery.
• Replace the cap tightly after use and follow the directions on the carton or from your doctor.

Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL provides hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 0.3% per drop, so it is a lubricating eye drop rather than a medicated treatment for infection or inflammation. Many people use it as needed during the day, but the exact frequency and the maximum number of uses per day should be set by a doctor or follow the product label if one is provided. Do not increase how often you use Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL unless your clinician tells you to.

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

Common side effects of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision
• Mild eye irritation
• Stinging or burning right after instillation
• Watery eyes
• Sticky or crusted eyelids
• A brief feeling of a foreign body in the eye

• Do not use Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL if you are allergic to hydroxypropylmethylcellulose or any ingredient in the drop.
• Remove soft contact lenses before using the eye drop unless a doctor or the label says it is safe to wear them during treatment.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to avoid contaminating the bottle.
• Temporary blurred vision can occur after dosing, so use caution with driving or tasks that need clear vision.
• Tell your doctor if you have eye pain, discharge, injury, infection, or sudden vision changes, because dry eye symptoms can hide a more serious problem.
• If the bottle changes color, becomes cloudy, or is past the expiration date, do not use it.
• Use extra caution if you are using multiple eye products, because spacing them out helps avoid washout and irritation.

• Other eye drops
• Eye ointments
• Contact lens rewetting products
• Prescription eye medicines such as glaucoma drops
• Any product that may be contaminated if the dropper touches the eye or skin

Store Genteal 0.3% Eye Drop 10 mL at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination and excessive heat or freezing.
