What is Carbomer?

Carbomer, the active ingredient in Liposic, is a viscosity agent (excipient) presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular use. It increases the viscosity of eye drops to improve surface lubrication and comfort.

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

What is Carbomer used for?

Liposic, containing carbomer, is used to enhance ocular surface lubrication in conditions affecting the tear film.

Dry eye syndrome: provides sustained lubrication to relieve dryness and irritation. Contact lens discomfort: reduces friction and improves comfort during lens wear. Post‑operative ocular irritation: helps maintain moisture and supports healing after eye surgery.

What are the side effects of Carbomer?

Liposic is generally well tolerated, but ocular formulations can cause local reactions.

Common Side Effects: - Transient blurred vision after instillation. - Mild ocular irritation or stinging. - Temporary redness of the conjunctiva. - Slight tearing or discharge.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction such as swelling or rash around the eye. - Severe eye inflammation or uveitis. - Corneal ulceration or vision loss. - Persistent pain or photophobia. - Anaphylactic response (extremely rare).

What precautions apply to Carbomer?

When using Liposic, consider the following precautions.

Avoid use in patients with known hypersensitivity to carbomer: discontinue if any allergic signs appear. Do not apply to infected eyes: seek professional medical advice before use. Limit use to prescribed frequency: avoid excessive dosing which may cause irritation. Keep container sealed when not in use: prevent contamination of the solution. Store at room temperature: keep in the original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Carbomer interact with?

Liposic may interact with other ophthalmic products; monitor accordingly.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent use with ophthalmic solutions containing preservatives that may cause incompatibility: avoid mixing in the same container. - Co‑administration with contact lens solutions containing surfactants: may reduce the efficacy of the lubricant.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Use with other lubricating eye drops: monitor for additive viscosity that could blur vision. - Use with ocular antibiotics: watch for altered drug distribution on the ocular surface. - Use with anti‑inflammatory eye drops: observe for possible dilution effect on therapeutic concentration.

Frequently asked questions

What is Liposic used for?+
Liposic is an ophthalmic lubricant that contains carbomer to increase the viscosity of eye drops, providing enhanced lubrication for conditions such as dry eye, contact lens discomfort, and post‑operative ocular irritation.
How does carbomer work in Liposic?+
Carbomer is a polymer that forms a gel when dissolved in water. In Liposic, it thickens the solution, allowing the drop to remain longer on the eye surface, thereby improving moisture retention and comfort.
What is the usual dose of Liposic?+
The dosage of Liposic is determined by the prescribing eye‑care professional. Typically, one to two drops are instilled in the affected eye(s) as directed, but the exact regimen should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Liposic safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for carbomer‑based ophthalmic lubricants in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Use should be considered only if the potential benefit justifies any potential risk, and decisions should be made in consultation with a healthcare provider.
How do I order Liposic from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the Liposic 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 Liposic compare with other eye lubricants?+
Liposic uses carbomer as a viscosity‑enhancing excipient, which can provide longer ocular surface residence time compared with simple aqueous lubricants. This may result in fewer applications per day, but the choice of product should be based on individual patient needs and clinician preference.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Liposic?+
Liposic should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and discard any product that appears discoloured or contaminated.
How is Liposic administered?+
Liposic is applied topically to the eye. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops onto the conjunctival sac without touching the tip of the bottle to the eye.
What are the most serious risks associated with Liposic?+
Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions, significant eye inflammation, corneal ulceration, and vision loss. Any signs of these conditions require immediate medical attention and discontinuation of the product.
Who should not use Liposic?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to carbomer or any component of the formulation should avoid Liposic. It is also not recommended for use in eyes that are actively infected or inflamed without prior evaluation by an eye‑care professional.
