Description
Ophthalmic solution containing sodium hyaluronate which, thanks to its mucomimetic and pseudoplastic properties, distributes evenly over the ocular surface forming a protective viscoelastic bandage. In this way, by exerting a mechanical action (“barrier effect”), IDROFLOG stabilizes the tear film and reduces friction caused by eye movements and blinking, protects the surface of the eye favoring the repair processes following damage to corneal epithelial cells due to reduced secretion of the tear film. In fact, in cases where the glands responsible for secreting the tear film reduce their normal activity for various factors, the corneal surface remains more exposed to external insults. These, over time, cause malfunctioning of corneal epithelial cells with an associated risk of the onset of annoying inflammatory processes. The application of the IDROFLOG bandage protects the corneal surface from exposure to external insults and, thanks to the ancillary action of Sodium Phosphate Hydrocortisone (a low-dose corticosteroid with low anti-inflammatory power and short duration of action), helps prevent the risk of potential recurrences of inflammatory phenomena.
IDROFLOG is intended for limited use over time and under the direct control of a specialist doctor. Finally, IDROFLOG, thanks to its particular saline composition, restores and maintains physiological levels of important ions, such as sodium, potassium, and magnesium, essential for the well-being of the ocular surface. The device contains no preservatives.

Composition
Sodium hyaluronate 2 mg/ml, sodium phosphate hydrocortisone 10 mcg/ml, trisodium citrate, sodium chloride, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, dibasic sodium phosphate, monobasic sodium phosphate, water for injections.

Usage instructions
IDROFLOG must be dosed individually according to one’s condition and based on the recommendations of one’s ophthalmologist. In general, instill 1-2 drops of the solution into the conjunctival sac of the eye to be treated, 2-4 times a day. The total duration of treatment is 2-6 months but must be specifically established by the specialist doctor and always under their direct control (a follow-up every 30-45 days is recommended).
Detach a single vial from the strip. Remove the upper cap by twisting it.
Instill 1-2 drops into the conjunctival sac, letting them fall from above.
IDROFLOG can also be used while wearing contact lenses.

Warnings
When not to use:
– hypersensitivity to the components or other chemically related substances;
– in conjunction with viral contamination of the ocular surface, corneal ulcers, eye mycosis, purulent conjunctivitis, purulent and herpetic blepharitis, stye;
– generally contraindicated in pregnancy, during breastfeeding, and in pediatric age.
The product, due to its viscoelastic properties, may cause temporary blurred vision upon instillation. Wait for this effect to subside before driving vehicles or using machinery.
IDROFLOG is for external use only.
IDROFLOG should not be used immediately before administering medications for therapeutic purposes, and within twenty minutes after the application of any topical drug therapy. If during treatment there is a worsening of eye symptoms, contact the doctor as soon as possible. Prolonged use may lead to inconveniences: the total duration of treatment must be established by the ophthalmologist. In case an inflammatory process is already underway, the specialist doctor will decide on the appropriate anti-inflammatory therapy to restore physiological conditions of the ocular surface.
To reduce the risk of contamination during use, it is advisable to open the aluminum pouch only in case of immediate subsequent use of the product. Avoid direct contact of the vial tip with fingers, the eye, or any other surface.
In rare cases, a slight blurring of vision has been observed upon instillation, which is due to the viscosity of the solution. A slight burning sensation may occur during instillation. However, this sensation is expected to disappear. Contact your ophthalmologist if symptoms persist. Following the instructions in the package leaflet reduces the risk of undesirable effects.
Do not use IDROFLOG after the expiration date indicated on the packaging. The expiration date refers to the intact and properly stored product.
Keep out of sight and reach of children.
IDROFLOG must be used under the advice of a specialist doctor.

Storage
