What is in this leaflet

This leaflet answers some common questions about Luxyal™ Monodose. It does not contain all the available information. It does not take the place of talking to your health professional.

If you have any concerns about using this product, ask your health professional. Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.

What Luxyal™ Monodose is used for

Luxyal™Monodose brings fast, longlasting relief to dry, irritated and tired eyes caused by external factors such as dust, smoke, air conditioning, wind, prolonged computer work or the use of contact lenses.

Luxyal™ Monodose can be used with all types of contact lenses.

It contains sodium hyaluronate to lubricate the eye. Its activity is optimised and prolonged by the synergistic action of Protector™. The presence of electrolytes in the solution help to keep the ocular surface in physiological condition.

Before you use Luxyal™ Monodose

When you must not use It

While you are using Luxval™

Things you must not do

  • To prevent possible contamination, do not let the tip of the dropper come into contact with any surface.
  • Do not use in case of specific hypersensitivity to any of the constituents.
  • Do not swallow the solution.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not instil Luxyal™ Monodose in the eye(s) together with other substances as their effect may be altered.
  • Store the bottle at a temperature below 25°C.
  • Do not freeze.
  • Do not use the solution after the expiry date.

After using Luxval™ Monodose

Storage

Keep your eye drops in a cool dry place where the temperature stays below 25°C. Do not store Luxyal™ Monodose or any other medicine in the bathroom or near a sink. Do not leave it on a windowsill or in the car. Heat and dampness can destroy some medicines.

Keep it where children cannot reach it. A locked cupboard at least one-and-a half metres above the ground is a good place to store medicines.

Disposal

If you are told to stop using the product or the expiry date has passed, ask your health professional what to do with any product that is left over.
