Pharmacology

Lubrex is a sterile, clear, aqueous lubricant eye drop that spreads rapidly over the conjunctiva and cornea, forming a protective and hydrating film.

• Polyethylene Glycol 400 enhances the stability of the tear film, preventing rapid tear evaporation.
• Hypromellose increases the adhesion of the tear film to the ocular surface, ensuring longer-lasting hydration.
• Glycerin helps restore moisture, providing relief from dryness and irritation.
• Electrolytes in the formulation mimic natural tears, promoting a healthy corneal epithelial surface.

Dosage & Administration

Use as directed by a registered physician.
