Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose + Sodium Perborate Monohydrate

Introduction

Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose + Sodium Perborate Monohydrate is a combination medication typically used in ophthalmic solutions to relieve dry eyes and discomfort caused by eye strain, environmental factors, or extended screen exposure. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acts as a lubricant, mimicking natural tears, while Sodium Perborate Monohydrate acts as a preservative that turns into oxygen and water upon contact with the eye, making it gentle and non-irritating. This formulation helps maintain eye moisture, improves comfort, and supports eye health, especially for people with dry eye syndrome or those exposed to dusty or air-conditioned environments.
