Lacrifluid (Carbomer 980)

Carbomer 980, the active ingredient in Lacrifluid, is an excipient presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular use. It enhances the viscosity of eye drops to improve lubrication of the ocular surface and increase residence time, supporting comfort in patients who require eye‑drop therapy.

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

Indications & Clinical Uses

Lacrifluid, containing Carbomer 980, is employed as an ophthalmic vehicle to improve ocular surface conditions.

  • Dry Eye Syndrome: improves tear film stability and ocular surface comfort.
  • Post‑surgical ocular care: provides prolonged lubrication after eye surgery, aiding healing.
  • Contact lens discomfort: reduces friction and dryness for lens wearers.

How It Works

  • Carbomer 980 is a high‑molecular‑weight polymer that hydrates to form a cross‑linked gel matrix when dissolved in aqueous solution. The resulting increase in viscosity creates a protective film on the ocular surface, enhancing tear film retention and prolonging the contact time of co‑administered ophthalmic agents, thereby improving lubrication and patient comfort.

Side Effects

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

Common Side Effects

  • Transient blurred vision: temporary visual disturbance after instillation.
  • Mild ocular irritation: slight stinging or burning sensation.
  • Redness of the conjunctiva: mild injection of the eye.
  • Temporary tearing: increased lacrimation shortly after use.

Serious or Rare Side Effects

  • Allergic reaction: swelling, itching, or rash around the eye.
  • Corneal ulceration: persistent pain, discharge, or vision loss.
  • Increased intra‑ocular pressure: may require monitoring in susceptible individuals.

Precautions & Warnings

When using Lacrifluid, consider the following precautions to ensure safe administration.

  • Assess patient history: verify no known hypersensitivity to carbomers or related polymers.
  • Monitor ocular condition: watch for signs of infection or worsening inflammation.
  • Avoid contaminated containers: use a new sterile dropper for each patient.
  • Caution with contact lenses: remove lenses before instillation and re‑insert after a few minutes.
  • Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Avoid Interactions

Lacrifluid may interact with other ophthalmic preparations, affecting comfort or drug performance.

Major Interactions (Avoid)

  • Concurrent use with preservative‑containing eye drops: may increase ocular irritation.
  • Mixing with strong acidic or basic ophthalmic solutions: can alter gel stability.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely)

  • Co‑administration with contact lens cleaning solutions: monitor for discomfort.
  • Use with rapid‑action ocular medications: may delay absorption due to increased viscosity.
  • Simultaneous use with anti‑inflammatory eye drops: observe for reduced efficacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lacrifluid is an ophthalmic solution that serves as a viscosity‑enhancing vehicle. It is used to improve lubrication of the ocular surface in conditions such as dry eye, after eye surgery, or when contact lens wear causes discomfort.

Carbomer 980 is a polymer that hydrates to form a gel when dissolved in water. This gel increases the thickness of the eye‑drop solution, allowing it to stay longer on the eye, thereby enhancing tear film stability and providing sustained lubrication.

The dosage of Lacrifluid 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.

Safety data for Carbomer 980 in pregnancy or lactation are limited. Use of Lacrifluid during pregnancy or while breastfeeding should only be considered if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk, and after consultation with a healthcare provider.

To order Lacrifluid, 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 standard aqueous eye drops, Lacrifluid’s Carbomer 980 base creates a gel that remains on the eye longer, offering extended lubrication. This can reduce the frequency of dosing versus non‑viscous lubricants, though individual tolerance and specific clinical needs may influence product choice.

Lacrifluid should be stored at ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the bottle tightly closed in its original packaging to maintain sterility and prevent degradation of the gel matrix.

Lacrifluid is administered as an eye drop. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops onto the conjunctival sac without touching the bottle tip to the eye or any surface.

Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as swelling, itching, or rash around the eye, and corneal ulceration. Any sudden increase in eye pain, vision changes, or persistent redness should prompt immediate medical evaluation.

Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to Carbomer 980 or any component of the formulation should avoid using Lacrifluid. Patients with active ocular infections or severe ocular surface disease should consult an eye‑care professional before use.
