Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop

Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop that contains carboxymethylcellulose 0.5% in each drop. It belongs to the eye lubricant class, often called artificial tears, and is used to relieve dry, irritated, or burning eyes. This 10 mL bottle is designed for repeated use when dryness from wind, screen use, contact lenses, aging, or environmental factors needs ongoing relief. Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye and does not treat an infection.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose acts like a tear substitute, adding moisture and a protective film over the eye surface. In Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop, this helps reduce friction and soothe dryness, burning, and irritation.

Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop is the 0.5% strength, which is the lighter concentration compared with Lacrimos 1% 10 mL Eye Drop and Lacrimos 1% 2 mL Eye Drop. It may feel less thick and more comfortable for people who need frequent daytime lubrication or who prefer a milder artificial tear; a doctor may choose it based on how dry the eyes are and how often relief is needed. The 10 mL bottle also suits regular use better than the 2 mL packs for people who need longer supply.

• Dry eyes
• Burning eyes
• Irritated eyes
• Grittiness or sand-like feeling in the eyes
• Eye discomfort from wind, smoke, or screen time
• Lubrication for contact lens-related dryness, if advised by a doctor

• Wash your hands before using Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between products; use eye drops before ointments unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Replace the cap tightly after use and wipe away extra liquid from the eyelid.
• If your vision is blurred right after the drop, wait until it clears before driving or using machinery.

Each drop of Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop provides carboxymethylcellulose 0.5%, a lower-strength lubricating formula than the 1% versions. It is often used 1 to 2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed, but the exact frequency is decided by your doctor based on how severe your dryness is. Do not use more often or for longer than advised if symptoms keep returning, because persistent eye irritation may need evaluation.

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

Common side effects of Carboxymethylcellulose may include:

• Temporary blurred vision after instilling the drop
• Mild stinging or burning on application
• Eye redness or mild irritation
• Watery eyes
• Sticky or uncomfortable feeling in the eye
• Mild itching or foreign-body sensation

• Use Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop only in the eye; do not swallow it or inject it.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your doctor whether to remove them before use and when to put them back in.
• Do not use the bottle if the solution changes color, becomes cloudy, or the seal is broken.
• If eye pain, discharge, or vision loss occurs, do not keep self-treating as dry eye.
• Use caution when driving right after the drop because temporary blurred vision can occur.
• Tell your doctor if you have frequent eye infections, eye injury, or have had eye surgery.
• If you need the drops very often, your dry eye may be more severe and should be reviewed by a clinician.

• Other eye drops or eye ointments may affect how well Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop stays on the eye; separate products by 5 to 10 minutes.
• Using multiple preservative-containing eye products together may increase eye irritation.
• Contact lens solutions or rewetting drops should not be substituted for this product unless advised by a doctor.
• There are no major whole-body drug interactions expected because carboxymethylcellulose works locally in the eye, but always tell your clinician about all eye medicines you use.

Store Lacrimos 0.5% 10 mL Eye Drop at room temperature, tightly closed, and protect it from contamination; discard the bottle if the solution changes or as directed after opening.
