Medicine Description lasting-tears 4 mg
lasting tears 4 mg eye drops is a medication designed to alleviate ocular dryness by providing a protective and lubricating layer on the surface of the eye. The active ingredient, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, is a synthetic polymer that mimics natural tears.
