Product details
What are Artelac Single Dose Units
Artelac SDU Preservative Free contains hypromellose as the active ingredient, which is a form of cellulose. Your drops are used as a tear substitute and lubricant when applied to the eye.
The hypromellose in these drops increases the thickness of the solution, which has a moisturising effect and helps the solution stay in contact with the eye for longer.
These drops work by soothing the eye and giving the eyes and eyelids tear-like lubrication.
They are used to treat the symptoms of "dry eye", which is a dehydration of the eye's surface because no natural tears are produced. Dry eye can also be caused if it is not possible to close your eyelids partly or completely.
You must talk to a doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse.
How to use Artelac Single Dose Units
Always take this medicine exactly as described in this leaflet or as your doctor or pharmacist has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
The usual dose is to apply one drop in the corner of the eye, nearest the nose, 3 to 5 times each day or as required to give enough lubrication.
Dry eye is a condition that varies from person to person. Use the drops as often as you think necessary.
Directions for use
- Sit in front of a mirror so you can see what you are doing.
- Wipe your eyes to clear any residual wateriness or discharge.
- Holding the unit by the label end, remove a single-dose unit from the pack.
- Twist the cap off the single-dose unit.
- Pull your lower eyelid gently down, and then carefully place one drop inside the lower eyelid, in the corner nearest the nose.
- Release the lower eyelid, and blink a few times to make sure the eye is covered by the liquid.
- Repeat the procedure for your other eye.
- When you have finished, throw away the single-dose unit.
