Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert (active ingredient: hydroxypropyl cellulose) is a prescription medication indicated for:

  • Dry Eye Disease: Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert is used to treat dry eye disease by providing lubrication and relief from symptoms such as dryness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes.

Lacrisert belongs to a class of drugs known as ocular lubricants, which work by forming a protective layer on the surface of the eye to enhance moisture and reduce symptoms associated with dry eyes.

Use Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert regularly at the same time(s) each day to get the most benefit from it. One ophthalmic insert in each eye once daily is usually sufficient to relieve the symptoms associated with moderate to severe dry eyes.

To apply the Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert pellet, start by washing your hands first. To prevent contamination, make sure you do not touch the insert or any other surface besides the applicator. It is recommended that you remove your contact lenses before using the medication. Your doctor will advise when it is safe to replace them. Afterwards, use the supplied applicator to place one insert into the affected eye(s), generally 1-2 times daily or as instructed by your doctor. When you are finished, rinse the applicator with hot running water and ensure that no water droplets remain before placing it back in the storage container. Remember to avoid rubbing your eyes when using the medication.

If the insert falls out, you can replace it with another one. Your doctor may use an artificial tears solution or saline drops in addition to the medication. Use these medications exactly as prescribed. To ensure that you get the most benefit from Lacrisert Ophthalmic Insert, be sure to use it regularly at the same time(s) each day.

How do you use Lacrisert?

Lacrisert is a small, rod-shaped insert that is placed in the lower eyelid once a day. The insert slowly dissolves over time, releasing a lubricating substance that helps to keep the eyes moist.

How long does Lacrisert last?

Lacrisert is designed to last for up to 24 hours, so it only needs to be inserted once a day. In some cases, a healthcare professional may recommend more frequent use of the insert based on the severity of the patient’s symptoms.

Can Lacrisert be used with contact lenses?

Patients who wear contact lenses should remove them before using Lacrisert and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. This allows the insert to dissolve properly and helps to prevent any interaction between Lacrisert and the contact lenses.
