Ducira Gel is primarily used for managing dry eye syndrome. This eye gel is a combination medicine belonging to the class of ocular lubricants.

In addition to relieving symptoms of dry eyes, this gel is beneficial in providing hydration and lubrication to the ocular surface. It works to alleviate discomfort associated with dry eyes, which can be caused by factors such as ageing, hormonal changes, environmental conditions, prolonged digital screen time, certain surgeries and medications, and some autoimmune disorders.

For optimal results, you should use this medicine exactly as directed by your doctor. It's crucial to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this gel. If you notice any side effects while using this gel, notify your doctor promptly. Ensuring you continue using the gel for the duration prescribed by your doctor will help manage your symptoms effectively.

Ducira Gel may have the following common side effects:

A mild stinging or burning sensation upon application
Matting or stickiness of eyelashes
Watery eyes
Transient blurred vision: This is a temporary loss of sharpness of vision that resolves on its own.
Hypersensitivity reactions: These are rare but can include symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Ducira Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Mild stinging or burning sensation: You might find it helpful to apply the gel at night before you sleep.
Transient blurred vision: If you find that your vision gets blurry after application, consider using the gel when you don’t need to perform tasks requiring clear vision such as reading or driving.

Ducira Gel contains two active ingredients:

Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) (0.3 %): Working as a lubricating agent with bioadhesive properties, HPMC adheres to the ocular surface providing lasting lubrication. By attracting moisture and stabilising the tear film, it hydrates and protects the eye surface. This reduces friction during blinking and mimics healthy tear composition and consistency.
Sodium perborate monohydrate (0.028 %): Upon contact with the eye, sodium perborate gradually releases oxygen acting as a mild antiseptic. The released oxygen produces a foam that gently cleanses the eye and eyelid margins. Sodium perborate also has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe ocular irritation.

Caution is advised while using Ducira Gel if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding
