Idroflog Single-Dose Ophthalmic Solution, 15 x 0.5 ml, Alfa Intes

IDROFLOG - (Sodium Hyaluronate 2 mg/ml, Hydrocortisone 10 µm) - ophthalmic solution

Ophthalmic solution containing sodium hyaluronate, which, thanks to its muco-mimetic and pseudoplastic properties, spreads evenly across the ocular surface, forming a protective viscoelastic bandage. Thus, by exerting a mechanical action ("barrier effect"), Idroflog stabilizes the tear film and reduces friction caused by eye movements and blinking, protecting the ocular surface by promoting repair processes following damage to the corneal epithelial cells caused by hyposecretion of the tear film.

In fact, when the glands responsible for secreting the tear film reduce their normal activity for various reasons, the corneal surface is more exposed to external influences. Over time, these conditions cause impaired corneal epithelial cell function, resulting in the risk of developing annoying inflammatory processes.

The application of the Idroflog dressing protects the corneal surface from external aggression and, thanks to the ancillary action of hydrocortisone sodium phosphate (a low-dose cortisone agent with low anti-inflammatory potential and short duration of action), helps prevent the risk of recurrence of inflammatory processes.

Idroflog is intended for limited use and should always be used under the direct supervision of a medical specialist. Finally, Idroflog, thanks to its unique saline composition, restores and maintains physiological concentrations of important ions, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, essential for the health of the ocular surface. The device contains no preservatives.

Composition:

Sodium hyaluronate 2 mg/ml, hydrocortisone sodium phosphate 10 mcg/ml, trisodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, water for injections.

How to use:

• Idroflog should be dosed individually according to your condition and the recommendations of your ophthalmologist
• In general, instill 1-2 drops of the solution into the conjunctival sac of the affected eye, 2-4 times a day
• The total duration of treatment is 2-6 months but must be specifically determined by your ophthalmologist and, in any case, under their direct supervision (follow-up every 30-45 days is recommended)
• Detach a single vial from the strip
• Remove the top flap by twisting it
• Instill 1-2 drops into the conjunctival sac, allowing it to drip from above. Idroflog can also be used when wearing contact lenses.

Warnings:

• Due to its viscoelastic properties, the product may cause blurred vision upon application
• Wait until this effect wears off before driving or operating machinery
• Idroflog is for external use only
• It should not be used immediately before administering curative medications or within twenty minutes of applying any topical medication
• If symptoms worsen during treatment, contact a doctor as soon as possible
• Prolonged use may cause side effects: the total duration of treatment must be determined by an ophthalmologist
• If an inflammatory process is already underway, the ophthalmologist will decide on the appropriate anti-inflammatory therapy to restore the physiological condition of the ocular surface
• To reduce the risk of contamination during use, it is advisable to open the aluminum pouch only if the product will be used immediately thereafter
• Avoid allowing the tip of the vial to come into direct contact with your fingers, the eye, or any other surface. In rare cases, slight blurring of vision has been observed upon instillation, which is due to the viscosity of the solution
• A slight burning sensation may occur during instillation. This sensation, however, usually subsides
• Contact your eye doctor if symptoms persist
• Following the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of side effects
• The product is for single use only; discard the vial after the first use, even if it contains any residual solution.

Storage:

Store between 2°C and 25°C.
