Polyethylene Glycol & Propylene Glycol Ophthalmic Solution

Description

Polyethylene Glycol and Propylene Glycol Ophthalmic Solution belongs to the class of medications called eye lubricants, used to relieve symptoms of dry eyes temporarily. Polyethene glycol and propylene glycol ophthalmic solution is available in the market at Eyeris Vision Care under the brand name Livtears Ultra.

It is a lubricating eye drop formulated to provide relief from symptoms of dry eyes and provides artificial tears to keep the eyes safe. Dry eye is a frequent ailment caused by allergic eye disorders or infections, wind, heating/air conditioning, and some drugs. The eye drops are meant for external use only.

Medical Benefits of Polyethylene Glycol & Propylene Glycol Ophthalmic Solution

These eye drops include two lubricating agents, polyethene glycol and propylene glycol, which aid in the treatment of dry eyes. Both these function similarly to natural tears, providing short relief from burning and irritation caused by dry eyes.

• Polyethylene glycol increases the number of defecations and softens the stool, making it easier to pass.
• Propylene glycol is a viscous, unappealing fluid with a somewhat sweet flavour.

However, note that all these benefits are visible only when you take them as directed by your doctor.
