How does it work?

Acetylcysteine breaks down any thick, sticky mucus on the surface of the eye. This allows tear fluid to move more easily across the surface of the eye. Hypromellose lubricates the eye. Acetylcysteine and hypromellose are used as eye drops to provide relief of dry eyes associated with deficient tear secretion or impaired or abnormal mucus production.

What is it used for?

Reduced or abnormal mucus production in the eye

Reduced or deficient tear production
