Do not use Vidisic whilst wearing contact lenses.
Properties:
Vidisic gel can be instilled as drops and is thus easy and comfortable to use. When instilling, hold the tube in an upright position so that a small drop, which falls easily from the tip, is formed. Due to its high viscosity Vidisic gel is also particularly suitable for the treatment of severe symptoms of dry eye. A protective film of considerable adhesive power and duration id formed, keeping the cornea and conjunctiva moist for some time, so that in severe cases relatively few applications (an average of 4- 5 per day) are sufficient to provide relief and bring about improvement,
Vidisic gel is very well tolerated; it has a refreshing, cooling action and can safely be used according to requirement or more frequently.
Special remarks
As with all ophthalmic preparations, discard one month after opening. Do not store at temperatures above 25 C.
