What is Sodium Hyaluronate?

Sodium Hyaluronate, the active ingredient in Idrastil, is a viscoelastic compound presented as eye drops for ocular use. It helps to lubricate the eye surface and stabilize the tear film, supporting patients with dry eye and postoperative ocular discomfort. It is formulated to provide long‑lasting hydration and is indicated for use in patients requiring ocular surface protection.

GNH USA supplies Idrastil as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Sodium Hyaluronate used for?

Idrastil (sodium hyaluronate) is used to address ocular surface lubrication disorders, primarily dry eye disease and related conditions.

Dry eye syndrome: improves tear film stability and reduces ocular surface irritation. Post‑surgical eye care: enhances ocular surface healing and provides lubrication after cataract or refractive surgery. Contact lens discomfort: reduces friction and dryness for lens wearers. Keratoconjunctivitis sicca: alleviates symptoms by maintaining moisture on the cornea.

What are the side effects of Sodium Hyaluronate?

Idrastil may cause ocular adverse reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Transient blurred vision - Mild eye irritation or burning - Temporary increased tearing

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction with swelling or rash - Severe eye pain or photophobia - Corneal ulceration

What precautions apply to Sodium Hyaluronate?

Before using Idrastil, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective treatment.

Allergy assessment: verify no known hypersensitivity to sodium hyaluronate or formulation excipients. Contact lens wearers: remove lenses before instillation and wait at least 5 minutes before reinserting. Concurrent ocular medications: space administration of other eye drops by at least 5 minutes. Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; use only if clearly needed after risk‑benefit evaluation. Active eye infection: avoid use until infection is resolved. Store at room temperature: keep in original container, protect from light and moisture.

What does Sodium Hyaluronate interact with?

Idrastil can interact with other ophthalmic products; consider the following interactions.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Use with ophthalmic anesthetic agents: may increase corneal toxicity. - Combination with preservative‑containing drops: risk of additive ocular irritation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihistamine eye drops: may reduce lubrication effectiveness. - Topical corticosteroids: monitor for delayed wound healing. - Systemic antihistamines: may exacerbate dry eye symptoms.

Frequently asked questions

What is Idrastil used for?+
Idrastil is an ophthalmic eye‑drop formulation containing sodium hyaluronate. It is used to lubricate the ocular surface, improve tear‑film stability, and relieve symptoms of dry eye disease, postoperative discomfort, and contact‑lens‑related dryness.
How does sodium hyaluronate work?+
Sodium hyaluronate is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide that binds water, forming a viscoelastic gel on the eye. This gel mimics natural mucins, reduces friction, enhances tear‑film cohesion, and protects the corneal epithelium, thereby supporting ocular surface health.
What is the usual dose of Idrastil?+
The dosing regimen for Idrastil is determined by the prescribing clinician. Typically, one drop is instilled in the affected eye(s) as directed, but the exact frequency and duration depend on the individual patient's condition and response.
Is Idrastil safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Idrastil in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made in consultation with a healthcare professional.
How do I order Idrastil from GNH USA?+
To order Idrastil, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Idrastil compare with other artificial tears?+
Compared with traditional artificial tears such as carboxymethylcellulose, Idrastil’s sodium hyaluronate provides a higher molecular weight viscoelastic film that offers longer‑lasting lubrication and better tear‑film stability, which can be advantageous for moderate to severe dry‑eye cases.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Idrastil?+
Idrastil should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Protect the bottle from direct light and moisture, and keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to maintain sterility.
How is Idrastil administered?+
Idrastil is applied topically to the eye. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place one drop into the conjunctival sac. If both eyes are treated, repeat the procedure for the other eye.
What are the most serious risks associated with Idrastil?+
Serious risks, although rare, include allergic reactions such as swelling or rash, severe eye pain or photophobia, and corneal ulceration. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience any of these symptoms.
Who should not use Idrastil?+
Idrastil should not be used by individuals with a known hypersensitivity to sodium hyaluronate or any excipients in the formulation, and it should be avoided in eyes with active infection until the infection has been treated.
