What is UV Lube Unims Eye Drop
UV Lube Unims Eye Drop is a single-dose ophthalmic lubricant used to relieve Dry Eye Syndrome (DES) and ocular discomfort. It contains Chloroquine Phosphate 0.03% (w/v) as the active ingredient. This unit-dose formulation is manufactured by FDC Ltd. in facilities certified by regulatory authorities, including the US FDA and WHO-GMP.
Chloroquine Phosphate works as a specialized anti-inflammatory and lubricating treatment for chronic Dry Eye disease. It helps reduce the chemical processes linked with inflammation and dryness while supporting natural tear formation and integrity of the epithelial lining.
UV Lube Unims eye drops are commonly used to relieve burning, itching, a foreign-body sensation, and irritation associated with Dry Eyes. It can also help in dryness linked to prolonged screen use, environmental exposure, and unstable tear film. Since it comes in a preservative-free single-use vial, it is helpful for people with sensitive eyes. Store it below 30°C, away from sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
The usual dose of UV Lube Unims Eye Drop is 1 drop in each eye twice a day or as directed by your ophthalmologist. If you miss a dose, instill it when you remember, unless it is almost time for the next one. If you are using any other ophthalmic medicine, keep a 10-15 minute gap between applications.
The UV Lube Unims is usually prescribed for 21 days or 2-4 weeks. Improvements typically occur within 7 days of starting treatment and up to 7 days after stopping use. If you are prescribed other ophthalmic medications, keep a 5-10 minute gap between applications to avoid dilution.
Mild burning, stinging, eye irritation, or temporary blurred vision can occur for a short time after use. They usually resolve on their own. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist, or if you notice eye pain, swelling, discharge, Conjunctivitis, eyelid reaction, or vision changes. Driving should be avoided until your vision becomes clear again.
Do not use UV Lube Unims if you are allergic to Chloroquine Phosphate or any other ingredients in the formulation. People with an eye infection, recent eye injury, eyelid reaction, or recent eye surgery should consult their doctor before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also use it only after medical advice.
