How Refresh Liquigel works

Carboxymethylcellulose is a lubricant (artificial tears) that forms a protective, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the eye. It reduces friction, soothes irritation, and improves tear film stability to relieve dryness symptoms.

How to take Refresh Liquigel

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1 drop in the affected eye(s) as needed or as directed by a doctor. Wash hands before use; avoid touching the dropper tip. If using other eye medicines, keep a 5–10 minute gap. Remove contact lenses before use and reinsert after 15 minutes (if advised).

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

Take it as soon as you remember. If your next dose is almost due, skip the one you missed — never take two doses together to catch up.

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. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Refresh Liquigel

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

• eye irritation

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.

Warnings and precautions

Do not use if seal is broken or solution changes color. Avoid contaminating the tip; do not share. Vision may blur briefly—avoid driving until clear.

Interactions with other medicines

No clinically significant systemic interactions expected. If using other topical ophthalmic products (e.g., antibiotics, antiglaucoma drops), separate administration by 5–10 minutes.

How to store Refresh Liquigel

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from light. Keep bottle tightly closed. Do not freeze. Discard as per pack instructions after opening (commonly within 30 days).

Expert advice for Refresh Liquigel

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.
