How to take it

Instil one or two drops into the affected eye(s) up to three or four times a day, or as directed by your pharmacist or doctor. If you are using more than one type of eye drop or ointment, leave 5 to 15 minutes between applying each product. Wash your hands before use and avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface.

Warnings

If this product contains benzalkonium chloride (check the label), remove soft contact lenses before use and wait around 15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative can be absorbed by the lens material. Do not use if you are allergic to hypromellose or any other ingredient in the formulation. You may experience brief blurring of vision immediately after application. Stop use and seek advice if you experience persistent eye irritation, pain, changes in vision, or if your eyes remain red. Store below 25°C and discard the bottle four weeks after opening. Keep out of the sight and reach of children. Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with your specific product. If symptoms persist, speak to your pharmacist or doctor.

Side effects

Common: transient blurred vision, eye pain, foreign-body sensation, eye irritation and redness immediately after use, typically wearing off quickly.

Age restrictions

The same 'apply as required' dosing applies to children and adults. Use in young children is best guided by a pharmacist or doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Ask a doctor or pharmacist for advice before use if pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy.

Alcohol

No known interaction with alcohol - a topical ocular product with negligible systemic absorption.

Driving and machinery

Do not drive or operate machines if vision is temporarily blurred after use; wait until this clears before driving or using machinery.

Storage

Store below 25C. Once opened, discard the bottle after 28 days, even if some solution remains. Keep out of the sight and reach of children.

What are Hypromellose 0.3% eye drops used for?
They are artificial tear drops used to relieve dry, sore or irritated eyes caused by things like screen use, wind, air conditioning, or reduced blinking, and to lubricate contact lenses or an artificial eye.
How often can I use these eye drops?
Most people use one or two drops up to three or four times a day, or as directed by a pharmacist, but you can use them as often as needed for comfort within that guidance.
Can I wear contact lenses while using this product?
If the drops contain a preservative such as benzalkonium chloride, you should remove soft contact lenses before applying and wait about 15 minutes before putting them back in. Check the product label to confirm.
How long can I use a bottle once it's opened?
Standard hypromellose eye drops should be discarded four weeks after first opening, even if liquid remains in the bottle, to reduce the risk of contamination.
Are these eye drops suitable for children?
The standard patient leaflet does not state a specific age restriction, but children should only use eye drops under adult supervision, and you should check with a pharmacist if in doubt.
