Indications & Clinical Uses

  • 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.

How It Works

  • Sodium hyaluronate is a high‑molecular‑weight polysaccharide that binds water molecules, creating a viscoelastic gel on the ocular surface. When applied as eye drops, it forms a protective film that mimics natural mucins, enhancing tear film cohesion and reducing shear stress. This film improves lubrication, promotes epithelial cell stability, and supports wound healing without pharmacologic activity on receptors and does not interfere with intraocular pressure.

Side Effects

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

Precautions & Warnings

  • 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.

Avoid Interactions

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

To order Idrastil, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH India 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
