Treatment of Dry eyes
Dry eyes is a condition in which your eyes do not produce enough tears to keep them moist. It can be caused by sitting in front of the computer for a long time, certain medications or environmental conditions. Flubiflur Plus Ophthalmic Solution adds moisture to your eyes and keeps them lubricated. This gives relief from burning sensation and discomfort due to dryness of the eyes. Flubiflur Plus Ophthalmic Solution also helps reduce pain and swelling in the eyes. If you wear soft contact lenses, you should remove them before applying Flubiflur Plus Ophthalmic Solution.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Flubiflur Plus Ophthalmic Solution is a combination of two medicines: flurbiprofen and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose which relieve dry and irritated eyes. Flurbiprofen is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) which works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that causes pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a lubricating formulation similar to natural tears. It provides temporary relief of burning and discomfort due to dryness of the eye.

• Flubiflur Plus Ophthalmic Solution is prescribed to maintain necessary lubrication so your eyes don’t get dry and irritated.
• Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
• Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution of this medicine.
• To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
• Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
• Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
