Hylovis lipo multi eye drops, 10 ml

Hylovis Lipo
emulsion for ocular lubrication without preservatives.

Indications and dosage form:
Hylovis Lipo multi is a tear substitute offered as a sterile, hypoosmolar emulsion containing 0.18% sodium hyaluronate (from fermentation), packaged in a 10 ml multi-dose bottle and is preservative-free.

Hylovis Lipo is an emulsion that stabilizes the tear film. Hylovis Lipo contains sodium hyaluronate, a component that occurs naturally in the eye and contributes to the protection and lubrication of the ocular surface. Thanks to the physical properties of sodium hyaluronate, Hylovis Lipo has a strong water-binding effect and good viscoelastic properties, creating a uniform, protective lubricating film on the surface of the eye. In this way, the product acts on the aqueous layer to moisturize and protect the ocular surface. Hylovis Lipo is hypoosmolar to counteract the harmful reactions (inflammation) resulting from the hyperosmolarity of the tear film in cases of dry eye. Sodium hyaluronate also possesses mucomimetic properties, which help Hylovis Lipo support the stability of the tear film. For optimal tolerability, Hylovis Lipo contains no preservatives or surfactants.

Instructions for use / Recommendations for use:

In which cases is Hylovis Lipo used?
Hylovis Lipo is recommended for adults with moderate to severe dry eye symptoms (no studies have been conducted with children).

How is Hylovis Lipo used?
Hylovis Lipo is for application to the eye. Wash hands thoroughly before instilling the drops.

1. Upon first use, check that the tamper-evident ring on the cap is intact and then unscrew the cap. You will hear a soft click; this corresponds to the tamper-evident ring breaking upon first opening.
2. Always shake the bottle before adding drops.
3. Unless otherwise recommended, instill 1-2 drops as often as needed. Using your index finger, gently pull down your lower eyelid while looking upwards, then squeeze the bottle to release the drops into your eye. The dropper tip of the bottle must not touch your eye or eyelids.
4. After application, the emulsion is evenly distributed over the surface of the eye with a few spontaneous blinks, where it forms a transparent and durable film.
5. Replace the protective cap on the bottle after each use.
