What is I Lube Unims 30 mL

I Lube Unims 30 mL is a dual-action antiseptic lubricating eye drop designed to relieve Dry Eyes and prevent ocular infections. It is an ophthalmic solution that combines two active ingredients: Polyvinyl Alcohol 1.4% and Povidone Iodine 0.6%. Together, they form a broad-spectrum antimicrobial eye solution with soothing lubrication properties.

Polyvinyl Alcohol belongs to the class of ocular lubricants. It works by forming a protective, moisture-retaining layer on the surface of the eye. This layer keeps the eye hydrated and reduces irritation caused by dryness.

Povidone Iodine is an antiseptic agent that kills a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact. It acts as an ocular lubricant with antiseptic action, making I Lube Unims a comprehensive solution for both dryness and infection risk.

FDC Limited, a trusted name in pharmaceutical manufacturing, manufactures I Lube Unims 30 mL. The active salts used in this formulation are FDA-approved. The medication is produced in a GMP-compliant facility and meets WHO-approved standards, ensuring its safety, quality, and consistency in every bottle.

Apply 1 to 2 drops in each eye, up to four times a day, or as directed by an ophthalmologist. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it is time for your next dose. In case of overdose, contact your healthcare provider or seek medical attention immediately.

Shake the bottle well before use. Store it at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and freezing conditions. Keep it out of the reach of children and do not use the solution beyond its expiry date.

Do not share this eye drop with others, even if they have similar symptoms, as sharing ophthalmic solutions increases the risk of cross-contamination. Discard the bottle 30 days after opening, regardless of the remaining volume, to avoid using a compromised solution.

What are the benefits of taking I Lube Unims 30 mL

I Lube Unims 30 mL offers a dual benefit of lubrication and infection control in a single formulation. Here are the key benefits:

• Dry Eye relief: Polyvinyl Alcohol 1.4% mimics natural tears, creating a lubricating film on the eye surface. This relieves discomfort, burning, and irritation from Dry Eye Syndrome.
• Infection prevention: Povidone Iodine 0.6% provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial protection against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It helps prevent ocular infections before or after eye procedures.
• Dual-action formula: The combination of a Povidone-Iodine 0.6% ophthalmic solution and a Polyvinyl Alcohol 1.4% eye drop in one bottle makes it convenient and effective for daily ocular care.
• Pre- and post-operative use: Doctors can recommend this solution before or after eye surgeries to reduce the risk of eye infection and maintain eye moisture.
