What is I Lube Unims 0.5 ml

I Lube Unims 0.5 ml is a lubricating ophthalmic solution used to relieve Dry Eye Syndrome and ocular discomfort. It contains Polyvinyl Alcohol 1.4% (w/v) and Povidone Iodine 0.6% (w/v). This single-dose eye drop is manufactured by FDC Ltd. in facilities certified by the US FDA and WHO-GMP.

Polyvinyl Alcohol works like artificial tears, forming a thin protective film over the ocular surface. This helps retain moisture, reduce tear evaporation, and improve comfort. Whereas Povidone Iodine is an antiseptic agent that helps with irritation and surface discomfort caused by contamination.

Together, their combination in I Lube Unims eye drops provides relief from burning and irritation caused by Dry Eyes. It can also help with dryness linked to pollution, air conditioning, prolonged screen use, dust, and other environmental triggers. Remember to store it in a cool, dark place at room temperature up to 25°C. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.

The I Lube Unims 0.5 ml single-dose is meant for one-time use in the affected eye. If you are using any other ophthalmic medicine, keep a 5-10 minute gap between applications to avoid dilution. If accidental ingestion happens, seek medical advice immediately.

Mild irritation, temporary blurred vision, or watery eyes can occur for a short time after instillation and usually settle on their own. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist, worsen, or if you notice eye pain, swelling, discharge, or changes in vision.

Do not use I Lube Unims if you are allergic to Polyvinyl Alcohol, Povidone Iodine, or any other ingredient in the formulation. Patients with underlying eye disease or recent eye surgery, as well as pregnant or breastfeeding women, should consult their doctor before use.
