## What is Flogel Eye Drop

Flogel Eye Drop is an eye lubricant, also known as artificial tears, designed to relieve irritations caused by dry eyes. It contains 0.05% Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a cellulose derivative that acts as a moisture binder and helps create artificial tears in the eyes.

Leading Global Pharmaceutical Company Cipla Ltd manufactures this eye drop.

## What are the benefits of Flogel Eye Drop

Flogel Eye Drops contain Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, an effective eye lubricant that works like natural tears. When applied to the eyes, they provide quick relief from burning sensations and discomfort caused by dry eyes.

This cellulose-based compound retains moisture and forms a protective layer on the eye surface. It soothes irritation, reduces dryness, and shields the eyes from further damage.
