POVIDONE belongs to the class of medicines called eye lubricants used to provide relief from burning sensation, irritation, and discomfort due to dryness of the eye, digital strain, or irritation from wind and sun. POVIDONE provides immediate refreshment and lubrication to the eyes. A dry eye is an eye condition that occurs when the natural tears are unable to provide ample lubrication for the eyes.
POVIDONE contains ‘Povidone’, which acts as a lubricant and works as natural tears. It helps in providing relief from burning sensation, dryness, and discomfort. Thereby, POVIDONE helps in treating dry eyes. POVIDONE remains longer on the conjunctival and corneal surface after application, thereby providing intensified lubrication. POVIDONE does not impair vision and can be used whilst wearing the lens.
You are advised to use POVIDONE for as long as your doctor has suggested it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects, such as eye itching, redness, and irritation. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper, as it might contaminate the solution. Always wash your hands before and after use. Inform your doctor regarding other suggested, non-suggested and herbal medicines you are taking to prevent any side effects/interactions.
