Product introduction

Use the number of drops as advised by your doctor. Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering any other medication in the same eye to avoid dilution. Do not use a bottle if the seal is broken before you open it. Always wash your hands before applying the medicine. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops.

It may cause eye irritation and burning sensation immediately following the application. However, these side effects are temporary and usually subside on their own. Inform your doctor if they persist for a longer duration. Do not wear contact lenses while using it. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires clear vision until you are sure you can do it safely.

Uses of UV Lube Eye Drop

Benefits of UV Lube Eye Drop

Treatment of Malaria
UV Lube Eye Drop is used to treat malaria, a serious or life-threatening illness that is spread by a parasite that enters the human body by the bite of infected mosquitoes. It kills the infection causing parasite and stops further spread of the infection. Take it only as prescribed and refrain from taking any other medicines along with this medicine (unless advised by the doctor) as they may affect the absorption of this medicine. Do not use this medicine for treating any other condition without consulting your doctor.
Dry eyes
Dry eyes is a condition in which your eyes do not produce enough tears to keep them moist. It can be caused by sitting in front of the computer for a long time, certain medications or environmental conditions. UV Lube Eye Drop soothes the eye and gives relief from burning sensation and discomfort. It also helps reduce pain and swelling in the eyes. If you wear soft contact lenses, you should remove them before applying UV Lube Eye Drop.

Quick tips

  • UV Lube Eye Drop helps relieve dry eyes.
  • Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, or to your eye, to avoid contaminating the eye drops.
  • Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute immediately after instilling the drop. 
  • Wait for at least 5-10 minutes before delivering the next medication in the same eye to avoid dilution.
  • Minor burning/stinging/irritation may occur for 1-2 min after instilling the drops. Notify your doctor if it persists for longer.
  • Make sure to use it within 4 weeks of opening the bottle.
  • UV Lube Eye Drop is used for the prevention and treatment of malaria.
  • Take it with food to decrease the risk of stomach upset.
  • Tips to reduce the chance of being bitten by mosquitoes:
    • Wear light-colored and covered clothing when you are outside after sunset.
    • Use insect repellent creams or sprays on parts of your body not covered by clothing.
    • Spray to kill any mosquitoes that may have entered rooms despite screening.
  • It may cause a blurring of vision when you first start taking it. Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration.
  • Eye examination before and at 3–6 monthly intervals during use is required if patients are receiving UV Lube Eye Drop at continuous high doses for a longer duration.
  • It may cause low blood sugar levels. Monitor your blood sugar level regularly, if you are diabetic.

Frequently asked questions

UV Lube Eye Drop is used along with other eye drops to relieve irritation and burning sensation due to dryness in the eyes.
If you usually wear contact lenses, do not wear them while you're using UV Lube Eye Drop. You can re-insert the lens 15 minutes after using UV Lube Eye Drop. Contact your doctor if there is any eye irritation that persists.
Always consult your doctor before using any eye drops along with UV Lube Eye Drop. It is advisable to give a gap of at least 10-15 minutes between the two medications.
Use of UV Lube Eye Drop should be avoided in patients who are allergic to it or any of its components. However, if you are not aware of any allergy or if you are given this medicine for the first time, consult your doctor.
You should contact your doctor immediately if you develop an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or an eyelid reaction. Also, you should inform the doctor if you have an eye injury or eye surgery.
UV Lube Eye Drop is an anti-malarial medicine that is used for the treatment and prevention of malaria.
Symptoms of malaria can develop as quickly as 7 days after you are bitten by an infected mosquito. Usually, the symptoms may take up to 7 to 18 days to appear (incubation periods) from the day of the infection. Initial symptoms of malaria are flu-like which include feeling hot and shivery, fever, muscle pains, vomiting, headaches, and diarrhea.
If your doctor has prescribed you UV Lube Eye Drop for a longer period of time, you should get your eyes checked regularly. This is because chloroquine present in this medicine might cause blurred vision, difficulty reading (due to words disappearing), and a rare eye condition called retinopathy if taken for a longer period of time.
Inform your doctor if you have psoriasis before taking UV Lube Eye Drop since it may make your condition worse.
Some of the most common side effects of this medicine are stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and headache. These side effects can often be reduced by taking the medicine with food.
There is not enough medical data to prove that chloroquine is effective in treating COVID-19. Therefore it is advisable not to take UV Lube Eye Drop without consulting your doctor for treating COVID-19.
If you take an antacid, give a gap of at least 4 hours between the two medications.
Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine were both first approved for malaria. However, chloroquine tends to cause many more side effects than hydroxychloroquine. As a result, hydroxychloroquine is more commonly used today. Hydroxychloroquine is also approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, while chloroquine is not.
Malaria can be prevented by taking certain precautionary steps like covering your arms and legs to prevent mosquito bites, using a mosquito net and insect repellent. Check with your doctor whether you need to take malaria prevention tablets. If you do, make sure you take the right antimalarial tablets at the right dose and finish the proper course of treatment.
