New dry eye treatment available in Brazil
SAO PAULO, Brazil — A new medication for the treatment of moderate to severe dry eye syndrome is now available in Brazil, according to the manufacturer.
Liposic gel (carbomer 2 mg/g plus sorbitol) is available by prescription, said Alessandro Guimaraes, supervisor of sales and marketing for Bausch & Lomb Brazil. The gel’s dosing regimen will depend on the severity of the patient’s dry eye and will be at the discretion of the physician.
The product was launched here during the World Ophthalmology Congress.
