Relif 5 mL Eye Drop

Relif 5 mL Eye Drop is a lubricating eye drop that contains carboxymethylcellulose 5 mL per unit. It belongs to the artificial tears class and is used to relieve dry, irritated, or burning eyes by adding moisture and helping the tear film stay on the eye surface. Relif 5 mL Eye Drop is intended for temporary relief of dryness and discomfort rather than treatment of an infection or inflammation. Because it is an eye drop, it works directly where symptoms are felt.

How it works: Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant that acts like artificial tears, coating the eye surface and helping replace moisture. In Relif 5 mL Eye Drop, this helps reduce dryness, scratchiness, and irritation for a smoother-feeling eye surface.

Relif 5 mL Eye Drop is the standard single-unit presentation in this product line, so there are no lower or higher sibling strengths listed for comparison. That makes it suitable for people who need simple, local relief from eye dryness and prefer an easy-to-use eye drop form. A doctor may choose Relif 5 mL Eye Drop when symptoms are mild to moderate and a lubricating drop is enough.

• Dry eyes
• Burning or stinging eyes
• Scratchy or irritated eyes
• Temporary relief from eye dryness
• Lubrication for minor eye discomfort

• Wash your hands before using Relif 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back and pull down the lower eyelid to form a small pocket.
• Instill the number of drops your doctor or label directs into the affected eye.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes after instilling the drop.
• If you use other eye medicines, wait several minutes between products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.

Relif 5 mL Eye Drop delivers carboxymethylcellulose in a 5 mL eye-drop presentation, but the exact dose is not measured by milligrams in the same way as tablets. It is often used as needed for dryness, and the number of drops and how many times per day to use it depend on your symptoms and your doctor’s instructions. There is no fixed maximum daily number that fits every patient, so your prescriber decides the safest schedule for Relif 5 mL Eye Drop.

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 putting in the drop
• Mild eye irritation or burning
• Eye redness
• Watery eyes
• A sticky or strange feeling in the eye
• Brief stinging after instillation

• Do not use Relif 5 mL Eye Drop if you are allergic to carboxymethylcellulose or any ingredient in the product.
• If you wear contact lenses, ask your eye doctor whether to remove them before use and when to put them back in.
• Temporary blurred vision can happen after dosing, so be careful when driving or using machinery right away.
• Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye to avoid contaminating the bottle.
• If eye pain, discharge, or vision changes occur, get medical advice instead of continuing to self-treat.
• Use caution if you are using multiple eye products, since spacing between drops may be needed.
• If symptoms persist or worsen, the cause may be something other than dry eye and should be checked by a clinician.

• Other prescription or over-the-counter eye drops
• Eye ointments
• Contact lens care products if used too soon after dosing
• Any eye medicine that also causes blurred vision or irritation
