Product introduction

Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel is a medicine used to relieve and manage dry eyes. It helps restore moisture to the surface of the eyes and provides long-lasting lubrication. It is especially useful for people who experience dry eyes due to environmental factors, contact lens use, or certain medical conditions.

To get the best results, use Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Make sure your hands are clean before applying the medicine. Keeping your eyes protected from wind, dust, and prolonged screen exposure can also help improve symptoms and support the effects of the treatment.


There is limited data on the common side effects of Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel. However, some may experience mild and temporary side effects like blurred vision immediately after application, eye irritation, or a burning sensation. These effects usually go away on their own. If the symptoms persist or worsen, or if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction such as redness, swelling, or itching, consult your doctor promptly.


Before using Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel, let your doctor know if you are using other eye medications or have a history of eye infections or allergies. Avoid using contact lenses immediately after applying the medicine; if needed, wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. Do not touch or rub your eyes after applying it, and avoid driving or operating machines right after use if you experience temporary blurred vision.

Benefits of Iflomax Ophthalmic Gel

In Treatment of Dry eyes

Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel helps restore moisture to the eye surface, providing soothing and long-lasting relief from dry eye symptoms. It also helps maintain and repair the health of the corneal and conjunctival tissues, while forming a protective, gel-like layer that keeps the eyes lubricated for extended periods. When used as directed, it reduces irritation, burning, and a gritty sensation in the eyes, allowing for more comfortable and easier daily activities.

Side effects of Iflomax Ophthalmic Gel

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

How to use Iflomax Ophthalmic Gel

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the tube close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the tube and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid.

How Iflomax Ophthalmic Gel works

Iflomax Ophthalmic Ophthalmic Gel is a combination of two medicines: vitamin A palmitate and carbomer. Vitamin A palmitate supports the regeneration and maintenance of the conjunctival and corneal epithelium, helping to repair and protect the surface of the eye. Carbomer is a gel-forming agent that creates a stable, lubricating film over the eye, mimicking natural tears and reducing evaporation. Together, they provide prolonged hydration, soothe dryness, and help maintain a healthy tear film, improving comfort and protecting the eye from further irritation.
