Oculotect (Povidone)

Povidone is a water‑soluble polymer that forms a thin, protective film on the ocular surface. This film retains moisture, reduces friction, and stabilizes the tear film, thereby helping to relieve dryness and protect the eye from environmental irritants.

The dosage of Oculotect is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s specific condition and response. Patients should follow the instructions provided by their eye care provider.

Safety of Oculotect in pregnancy or lactation has not been definitively established. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should consult their physician before using the product.

To order Oculotect, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnhindia.com with the required quantity. GNH India supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, will verify trade or institutional credentials, and then provide pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Oculotect’s povidone‑based formulation provides a polymeric film that offers longer‑lasting moisture compared with simple saline drops. It may be preferred when a more viscous, protective layer is desired, though choice of product depends on individual patient needs and clinician recommendation.

Store Oculotect at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the bottle tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and discard any solution that appears discolored or contaminated.

Oculotect is applied as eye drops. The patient should wash hands, tilt the head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and instill the prescribed number of drops. Contact lenses should be removed before administration and re‑inserted after a short waiting period.

Serious risks include allergic reactions such as swelling, itching, or rash, severe eye pain, and sudden vision loss. If any of these occur, the patient should seek immediate medical attention.

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