Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop

Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop made with hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 0.7%, a demulcent that helps soothe dry, irritated eyes. Each drop contains 0.7% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, which helps add moisture and form a protective film over the eye surface. Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop is used for temporary relief of dryness, burning, stinging, and irritation caused by dry eye or environmental factors.

How it works: Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose works by increasing the moisture layer on the eye’s surface and helping tears stay on the eye longer. In Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop, this helps reduce friction and soothe dryness, burning, and irritation.

Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop is a moderate-to-higher lubricant strength that may be chosen when a lower-strength artificial tear does not give enough relief, but the eye does not need a thicker gel or ointment. Because it is a 0.7% eye drop, it may feel more coating or longer-lasting than lighter lubricating drops, while still being easy to use during the day.

• Wash your hands before using Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop.

• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products.
• Use only as often as your doctor or the product directions recommend for this eye drop.

Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop provides hydroxypropylmethylcellulose 0.7% per drop for lubrication of the eye. The usual frequency depends on your symptoms and your doctor’s advice; many people use lubricating eye drops as needed throughout the day, but the exact number of doses per day should be individualized. Do not use more often than directed by your clinician or label instructions.

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

Common side effects of Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision after instilling the drop
• Mild eye burning or stinging
• Eye irritation
• Watery eyes
• Unpleasant aftertaste if the drop drains into the throat
• Mild redness

• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface to avoid contamination.
• Do not use Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the bottle is damaged.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your doctor or check the label before use; some lubricating drops are not meant for lenses in place.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after use, so be careful with driving or operating machinery until your vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you have persistent eye pain, light sensitivity, or reduced vision, because dry eye may not be the only cause.
• Use caution if you are using multiple eye products, since spacing doses helps prevent washout.
• Keep out of reach of children and use exactly as directed by your healthcare professional.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments, which may need to be spaced by 5 to 10 minutes
• Contact lenses, which may affect how or when the drops should be used
• Prescription glaucoma eye drops, because timing matters to avoid dilution or washout
• Other lubricating artificial tears, since combined overuse may blur vision or irritate the eye

Store Hicool 0.7% 5 mL Eye Drop at room temperature and keep the bottle tightly closed; discard it if the solution becomes contaminated or if the package directs after opening.
