Idroflog Ophthalmic Solution 10Ml

Description
Ophthalmic solution containing sodium hyaluronate which, thanks to its mucomimetic and pseudoplastic properties, is evenly distributed on the eye surface forming a protective viscoelastic bandage. In this way, it exerts a mechanical action (“barrier effect”), IDROFLOG stabilizes the tear film and reduces friction caused by eye movements and blinking, protects the eye surface, promoting the repair processes following damage to the corneal epithelium caused by tear film hyposecretion. In fact, in cases where the glands responsible for tear film secretion reduce - due to various factors - their normal activity, the corneal surface remains more exposed to external insults. These insults, over time, cause a malfunction of the corneal epithelial cells with associated risk of uncomfortable inflammatory processes. The application of the IDROFLOG bandage allows protection of the corneal surface from exposure to external insults and, thanks to the auxiliary action of Sodium Hydrocortisone Phosphate (a low-dose corticosteroid agent, with low anti-inflammatory power and short duration of action), helps prevent the risk of recurrences of inflammatory phenomena. IDROFLOG is intended for limited use over time and always under the direct supervision of a specialist doctor. Finally, IDROFLOG, thanks to its particular saline composition, restores and maintains at physiological levels the concentrations of important ions, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, essential for the health of the ocular surface. The device does not contain preservatives.

Mode of use
It should be dosed individually according to your condition and based on the recommendations of your ophthalmologist. In general, instill 1-2 drops of the solution into the conjunctival sac of the eye to be treated, 2-4 times a day. The total duration of treatment is 2-6 months but must be specifically determined by the specialist doctor and always under their direct control (a follow-up every 30-45 days is recommended).
Open the bottle by removing the protective tab. Remove the cap. Pressing on the inverted bottle, instill 1-2 drops of IDROFLOG into the conjunctival sac, letting them fall from above. Always close the bottle with its cap after use. Do not damage or disassemble the bottle and do not mechanically damage or block the dropper orifice. IDROFLOG can also be used when wearing contact lenses.

Components
Sodium hyaluronate 2 mg/ml, sodium hydrocortisone phosphate 10 mcg/ml, trisodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, disodium phosphate, monosodium phosphate, purified water.

Precautions
Hypersensitivity to the components or other substances strictly related from a chemical point of view. In case of viral contamination of the ocular surface, corneal ulcers, eye mycosis, purulent conjunctivitis, purulent and herpetic blepharitis, hordeolum. Generally contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and pediatric age.
Due to its viscoelastic properties, at the moment of instillation, the product may cause temporary visual blurring. Wait for this effect to cease before driving vehicles or operating machinery.
IDROFLOG is for external use only. IDROFLOG should not be used immediately before administering medicinal substances for therapeutic purposes or within twenty minutes after the application of any topical pharmacological therapy. If symptoms worsen during treatment, contact your doctor. Prolonged use may cause side effects: the total duration of treatment must be determined by an ophthalmologist. If an inflammatory process is already ongoing, the specialist doctor will decide on the appropriate anti-inflammatory therapy in order to restore the physiological conditions of the ocular surface. To reduce the risk of contamination, each bottle must be used by only one person. Wash your hands thoroughly before use. Avoid direct contact of the dropper tip with fingers, the eye, contact lenses, or any other surface. Also, avoid contact of the dropper with dirt or dust.
In rare cases, a slight blurring of vision has been observed upon instillation, due to the viscosity of the solution. During instillation, a slight burning sensation may occur. However, this sensation is temporary. Contact your ophthalmologist if symptoms persist. Following the instructions in the leaflet reduces the risk of adverse effects.
Do not use IDROFLOG after the expiration date indicated on the package. The expiration date refers to the product intact and correctly stored. Do not use IDROFLOG if the bottle is damaged. Keep out of sight and reach of children. IDROFLOG should be used under the advice of a specialist doctor.
