HYLO GEL Special Precautions

If the patient uses any other eye drops there should be at least 30 minutes between the applications, and HYLO GEL should always be used last. Eye ointments should, however, always be administered after using HYLO GEL.
If the patient does not feel better or feel worse after several days of use talk to the doctor or pharmacist.
As HYLO GEL is preservative-free it is well tolerated even when used over a longer period of time. In very rare cases adverse reactions like hypersensitivity, burning or excessive tearing, pain, foreign body sensation or other temporary local irritations have been reported which stop when the use of HYLO GEL is discontinued.
Note that temporary blurred vision is possible after application of HYLO GEL due to the viscosity of the eye drops solution. In very rare cases this may cause temporary headache in sensitive patients.
HYLO GEL relieves the symptoms in case of more severe or persistent dry eye sensation. HYLO GEL may be used while wearing contact lenses, in consultation with the eye specialist. However, in these cases, there may be some smearing on the contact lenses that will disappear after blinking a few times.
After inserting contact lenses, waiting for about 30 minutes before applying the eye drops is recommended. In this way, the patient can avoid intolerance reactions which may occur due to interactions between lens care products and HYLO GEL.
Based on available evidence HYLO GEL can be used in children, pregnant and breast-feeding women.
In case a serious incident has occurred during the use of this medical device or as a result of its use, report it to the distributor.
