HYPERSALT SODIUM CHLORIDE

Sodium Chloride Hypersalt Eye Drops are a hypertonic ophthalmic solution used to reduce corneal swelling (edema) and relieve discomfort caused by conditions such as corneal edema, keratitis, or after eye surgery. The solution contains a higher concentration of sodium chloride than normal tears, which helps draw excess fluid out of the cornea through osmosis, restoring clarity and improving vision.

Mechanism of Action:
The hypertonic solution creates an osmotic gradient that pulls water from the cornea into the tear film, thereby reducing swelling and helping to maintain normal corneal thickness.

Indications:

• Corneal edema (swelling of the cornea)

• Post-surgical corneal swelling

• Keratitis or other conditions causing corneal fluid accumulation

Dosage Form:

• Sterile ophthalmic drops

• Usually applied 1–2 drops in the affected eye(s) 2–6 times daily, or as directed by a physician

Side Effects:

• Temporary stinging or burning upon application

• Eye irritation or redness

• Rare allergic reactions

Precautions:

• Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any surface to prevent contamination

• Remove contact lenses before use unless specified

• Use only under medical supervision, especially in patients with severe eye conditions or other ocular medications
