Drumellose
Drumellose is a soothing eye lubricant (artificial tears) designed to mimic the natural moisture of your eyes. It provides immediate relief for dry, irritated, or tired eyes caused by environmental factors or medical conditions.
What It Does
The active ingredient, Hypromellose, acts as a protective film over the surface of the eye. It thickens the tear film and keeps the eye lubricated for longer periods, preventing the “gritty” or “sandy” feeling associated with dryness.
Key Benefits

Instant Relief: Quickly cools and soothes burning, itching, and redness.

Moisture Retention: Helps the eye stay wet, even in dry environments like air-conditioned offices or windy outdoors.

Relieves Digital Strain: Perfect for those who experience “screen fatigue” from long hours on phones or computers.

Safe Lubrication: Protects the cornea from scratches and irritation caused by lack of tears.

?? Content (Active Ingredients)
The primary active ingredient in Drumellose is Hypromellose (also known as Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose or HPMC).

Strength: Most common formulation in Nigeria is 0.7% w/v, though a 0.3% w/v version also exists.

Preservative: Typically contains Benzalkonium Chloride, which keeps the solution sterile after opening.

Vehicle: A sterile aqueous base designed to mimic the pH and salinity of natural human tears.

?? What It Is Drumellose For
Drumellose is an artificial tear solution. It is used to provide relief in conditions where the eye does not produce enough of its own tears or when tears evaporate too quickly.

Dry Eye Syndrome: Relief from burning, itching, and the “gritty” sensation of having sand in the eye.

Environmental Protection: Protection against irritation from wind, sun, or dry air conditioning.

Digital Strain: Soothing eyes tired from prolonged use of computers or smartphones.

Post-Surgery/Examination: Often used to protect the cornea during or after certain ocular procedures.

? Benefits

Instant Lubrication: Mimics natural mucus in the tear film to spread moisture evenly across the eye.

Long-Lasting Relief: Its viscous (thick) nature allows it to stay on the eye surface longer than water-based drops.

Corneal Protection: Helps prevent damage or scarring to the cornea caused by extreme dryness.

Versatility: Can be used to moisten hard contact lenses and lubricate artificial eyes.

?? Administration (How to Use)
To maintain sterility and ensure the drops work effectively, follow these steps:

Wash Hands: Always start with clean hands.

Tilt & Pull: Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small “pocket.”

Apply: Hold the dropper above the eye (do not touch the eye with the tip) and squeeze 1 to 2 drops into the pocket.

Close & Press: Close your eye gently for 1?2 minutes.?Apply light pressure to the corner of the eye near the nose (the tear duct) to prevent the medicine from draining out.

Frequency: Usually applied 3 to 4 times daily, or as directed by your eye care professional.

?? Safety & Compliance Checklist

The 28-Day Rule: Per Nigerian pharmaceutical standards, you must discard the bottle 28 days after opening, even if there is liquid left, to avoid bacterial infection.

Contact Lenses: If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before use and wait at least 15 minutes before putting them back in (the preservative can discolor soft lenses).

Blurred Vision: This product is slightly viscous; your vision may be blurry for a few minutes after application.?Do not drive until your vision clears.
