HEMODROPS

This medicine contains the active ingredient hypromellose, which belongs to a group of medicines called artificial tears. These medicines reduce the dryness and irritation of the eyes when there is no sufficient natural tear production. This medicine is used for the treatment of dry eye syndrome and reduced tearing, inflammation of the cornea and dry inflammation of conjunctiva accompanied by the inflammation of the cornea. This medicine may also be used to moisten hard contact lenses and artificial eyes.
