Lakrimont (Carbomer 980)

Carbomer 980, the active ingredient in Lakrimont, is a pharmaceutical excipient presented as a —/— for ocular use. It provides lubrication and protection of the ocular surface, helping to relieve dryness and irritation.

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

Lakrimont is used as an ocular lubricant to support the health of the eye surface in several conditions. - Dry eye syndrome: alleviates discomfort and improves tear film stability. - Post‑operative eye care: protects the ocular surface after surgery and promotes healing. - Contact lens wear: reduces irritation and enhances comfort for lens users.

Lakrimont may be associated with ocular reactions, most of which are mild and transient.

Common Side Effects: - Transient blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance after instillation. - Mild ocular irritation: stinging or burning sensation. - Foreign body sensation: feeling of grit in the eye. - Excessive tearing: increased tear production. - Redness of the conjunctiva: mild hyperemia. - Eye discharge: watery or mucous secretions.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye. - Corneal ulcer: persistent pain, decreased vision, or discharge. - Severe eye pain: intense discomfort not relieved by flushing. - Vision loss: sudden decrease in visual acuity. - Persistent inflammation: ongoing redness or swelling. - Infection: signs of bacterial or fungal eye infection.

Before using Lakrimont, consider the following precautions to ensure safe and effective use. - Hypersensitivity assessment: avoid if known allergy to carbomer or formulation components. - Contact lens use: remove lenses before application unless product specifically approved for lens wear. - Ocular infection: do not use on infected eyes without physician guidance. - Surgical eyes: follow surgeon’s instructions regarding timing of application. - Pediatric use: use only under professional supervision. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture and direct light.

Lakrimont may interact with other ophthalmic products, potentially affecting comfort or efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Preservative‑rich eye drops: may increase irritation when used concurrently. - Topical corticosteroids: can alter healing dynamics if combined without supervision.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihistamine eye drops: may reduce lubrication effect. - Antibiotic eye ointments: monitor for additive stinging. - Tear‑stimulating agents: assess for excessive tearing. - Systemic medications causing dry eye: consider adjunctive use. - Multi‑dose containers: ensure sterility to avoid contamination.
