How to take Systane Hydration 10 ml

For ophthalmic use only. Instill 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) as needed. Can be used with or without contact lenses as per label; if using multiple eye medicines, keep a 5–10 minute gap between products. Avoid touching the dropper tip to any surface.

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 not a realistic risk from a moisturiser used on the skin. It can cause severe loose motions, dehydration and salt imbalance. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Expert advice for Systane Hydration 10 ml

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. Increase fibre, fluids and physical activity — these treat the cause rather than the episode. Do not ignore the urge to go; a regular routine helps.
