How Aqualube Liquigel Eye Drops works

Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricating artificial tear that binds water and increases tear film stability. It forms a protective, viscoelastic layer over the ocular surface to reduce friction and relieve dryness-related discomfort.

How to take Aqualube Liquigel Eye Drops

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) 3–4 times daily or as directed by doctor; may be used more frequently if needed. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after 15 minutes; avoid touching the dropper tip; keep bottle tightly closed.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine is unlikely from eye use; flush the eye with clean water if too much is instilled. It is not a realistic risk from a moisturiser used on the skin. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Most side effects of Aqualube Liquigel are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

Safety advice for Aqualube Liquigel Eye Drops

Warnings and precautions

Do not use if solution changes colour or becomes cloudy or if seal is broken. Stop use and consult a doctor if eye pain, persistent redness/irritation, vision changes, or symptoms worsen or persist beyond 72 hours. If using other eye medicines, keep a 10–15 minute gap (use this after medicated drops unless advised). Use caution while driving immediately after instillation due to transient blurring. Not for injection; avoid contaminating dropper tip.

Do not take Aqualube Liquigel if

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for anyone with a known allergy to the preservative in the preparation.

Interactions with other medicines

No significant systemic interactions expected due to topical use; spacing required with other ophthalmic preparations (10–15 minutes).

How to store Aqualube Liquigel Eye Drops

Store below 25°C. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children. Discard bottle 4 weeks after opening (or as per label).

Expert advice for Aqualube Liquigel Eye Drops

Press gently on the inner corner of the eye for a minute after instilling — this keeps the drop in the eye and reduces the bitter taste. Leave five minutes between two different drops. Never share eye drops with anyone. Use lukewarm water, a soap substitute and short baths. Smooth it on in the direction the hair grows rather than rubbing it in hard. Keep using it when the skin looks normal — that is what prevents the next flare.
