HYLO DUAL

Description
Sterile, preservative-free solution for ophthalmic use. Hylo Dual moisturizes the cornea and conjunctiva and protects against excessive tear evaporation. This stabilization of the tear film soothes ocular irritations associated with inflammatory or allergic symptoms and eliminates the burning and itching sensation.
Burning and itching, tearing, a foreign body sensation or dryness are symptoms of an irritated eye. These signs often indicate that the eye is not properly hydrated. Another cause could be hypersensitivity to certain substances (such as pollen, animal hair or house dust), also known as allergies. Since allergies present with the same symptoms, it is difficult to distinguish between a dry eye and an irritated eye caused by an allergy. In these cases, Hylo Dual offers particular advantages thanks to its dual mechanism of action based on sodium hyaluronate and ectoine. Hylo Dual contains sodium hyaluronate, a natural substance found in the eye and other parts of the body. Sodium hyaluronate has the unique physical property of forming a uniform, stable and long-lasting moisturizing film on the surface of the eye, which is not quickly removed. Ectoine is a natural substance extracted from microorganisms that live in extreme environments (such as salt lakes). To protect themselves from extreme environmental factors, these microorganisms produce ectoine, a natural substance whose special properties are used in Hylo Dual. Ectoine increases the adhesion of water to the cells of the ocular surface, thus creating a physiological barrier to allergens on the conjunctiva. At the same time, ectoine stabilizes the fat-soluble portion of the tear film, which protects against excessive evaporation of tears. The interaction between sodium hyaluronate and ectoine creates a dense and long-lasting film of moisture on the eye, protecting it from the evaporation of tears. In this way, Hylo Dual relieves inflammatory symptoms and typical symptoms of allergic reactions, such as burning and itching caused by environmental irritants.

Composition
1 ml of Hylo Dual contains 0.5 mg sodium hyaluronate, 20 mg ectoine, boric acid, borax and water for injections.
Use Hylo Dual only if the outer packaging is sealed and intact before use.
1) Remove the cap before use. To remove the cap, hold it firmly with one hand and turn the bottle upside down with the other. Before using Hylo Dual for the first time, turn the bottle upside down with the pipette pointing down and press the bottom of the bottle to release the first drop. The bottle is now ready for further applications.
2) Hold the bottle upside down, placing your thumb on the top of the bottle and your other fingers on the bottom of the bottle.
3) Support the hand holding the bottle made with the COMOD technique with your free hand.
4) Tilt your head back slightly, gently pull your lower eyelid down with your free hand and press the bottom of the bottle quickly and firmly. This activates the drop release mechanism. Thanks to the special valve mechanism of the COMOD system, the size and speed of each drop is always the same, regardless of the pressure applied. Close your eyes slowly to allow the fluid to distribute evenly over the ocular surface.
5) After use, immediately replace the bottle cap, ensuring that there is no liquid residue on the pipette. During instillation, avoid contact between the bottle pipette and the eyes or facial skin. The COMOD system delivers 10 ml of solution, equivalent to approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of solution always remains in the bottle after use. Hylo Dual does not have a limited shelf life. It is recommended that the Hylo Dual bottle be used for the treatment of a single person.
If you use other eye drops, wait at least 30 minutes between applications and always use Hylo Dual last. However, eye ointments should always be applied after Hylo Dual. Since Hylo Dual eye drops do not contain preservatives, long-term treatment is particularly well tolerated. Hypersensitivity reactions (burning, excessive tearing) have been observed in very rare cases, but they disappear immediately when Hylo Dual is discontinued. Hylo Dual can also be used while wearing contact lenses. After applying contact lenses, we recommend waiting approximately 30 minutes before applying eye drops to avoid possible intolerance reactions that could be caused by interactions between contact lens cleaning products and Hylo Dual. There is currently no information available regarding the use of the product during pregnancy and lactation. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or may be pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using Hylo Dual.
Hylo Dual should be used as recommended by your ophthalmologist. In general, for adults and children aged 6 years and over, instill one drop of Hylo Dual into the conjunctival sac of each eye three times a day. If you use Hylo Dual more frequently (e.g. more than 10 times a day) or if you experience more severe symptoms, you should consult an ophthalmologist to have your eyes examined regularly. Hylo Dual is suitable for long-term use; however, as with any condition, if symptoms persist (e.g. more than two weeks), consultation with an ophthalmologist is strongly recommended.
