Melose

Melose is an ophthalmic solution formulated to relieve dry eyes and irritation caused by environmental conditions or prolonged screen use. It contains Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (0.7% w/v), Borax (0.19% w/v), Boric Acid (0.19% w/v), Sodium Chloride (0.45% w/v), and Potassium Chloride (0.37% w/v). These ingredients work together to lubricate and soothe the eyes by mimicking natural tears. Melose is suitable for individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome, minor eye discomfort, and those recovering from eye procedures where extra moisture is beneficial.

Uses of Melose

• Treatment of dry eyes
• Relief from eye irritation due to wind, sun, or dust
• Soothing discomfort caused by prolonged screen time
• Post-surgical eye lubrication
• Support for contact lens wearers experiencing dryness

How Melose works

Melose works by forming a protective, lubricating film over the eye’s surface. Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose acts as a tear substitute, while boric acid, borax, and electrolytes help maintain the natural pH and osmotic balance, keeping the eyes hydrated and reducing irritation caused by dryness or external irritants.

Benefits of Melose

• Instant relief from dry and irritated eyes
• Maintains moisture balance on the ocular surface
• Safe for frequent use and long-term eye comfort
• Reduces symptoms caused by digital eye strain
• Promotes eye healing after minor procedures

How to take Melose

Use Melose eye drops as prescribed or as needed. Usually, 1–2 drops are instilled in the affected eye(s) 3 to 4 times daily. Tilt your head back, gently pull down your lower eyelid, and place a drop into the pocket. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination. Close your eyes for a minute after application.
