Aqua Tears 10 ml With Polyvinyl Alcohol, Povidone

Aqua Tears 10 ml is an ophthalmic solution primarily used as an ocular lubricant to relieve symptoms associated with dry eyes, such as burning and irritation. The formulation contains Polyvinyl Alcohol and Povidone, classified under the drug class of ophthalmic lubricants and antiseptic agents. It is particularly beneficial for individuals who experience dryness due to prolonged screen time or exposure to harsh environmental conditions like wind or dust.

Polyvinyl Alcohol acts as a wetting agent, enhancing the stability of the tear film and providing moisture to the eye. This helps soothe irritation and burning sensations caused by dryness. Additionally, Povidone is an antiseptic that protects against bacterial infections by disrupting their vital processes. Together, these ingredients effectively lubricate and protect the eye surface.

Certain precautions should be observed when using Aqua Tears. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about pre-existing conditions, particularly liver, kidney, or heart diseases. Due to insufficient safety data, it is advisable to consult a doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Potential side effects may include temporary blurred vision, watery eyes, or mild irritation. There are no well-documented negative interactions with other medications. However, wait at least five minutes before applying other eye treatments to ensure proper absorption.

This medication is marketed and manufactured by Cipla India Limited.
