Artelac Night time Eye Gel 10g

Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel is a lubricating ocular gel belonging to the class of ophthalmic demulcents, specially formulated to provide prolonged moisture and comfort to dry, irritated eyes during sleep. Its active ingredient is carbomer (polyacrylic acid), a high-viscosity gel-forming agent that creates a sustained protective film over the eye surface throughout the night. Before using this product, there are a few things you should know — while it is generally well tolerated, some users may experience temporary blurred vision upon application, mild eye irritation, a slight stinging or burning sensation, or a temporary sticky feeling around the eyelids. If you wear contact lenses, are currently using other eye drops, or have a known sensitivity to any of the ingredients, it is always a good idea to check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting use.

How to Take Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel is applied directly into the lower conjunctival sac of the eye by gently pulling down the lower eyelid and squeezing a small amount of gel from the tube. It is intended for nighttime use only — apply it just before going to bed and avoid using it while wearing contact lenses. After application, close your eyes gently to allow the gel to spread evenly across the eye surface.

Dosage of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

The generally recommended dosage is to apply a small strip of gel (approximately 1 cm) into each affected eye once nightly at bedtime, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended amount unless specifically advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Shelf Life of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel
Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel typically has a shelf life of 2 to 3 years from the date of manufacture when stored unopened under the recommended conditions. Once the tube has been opened, it should be used within 90 days (3 months) and should not be used beyond this period, even if product remains in the tube, to minimise the risk of contamination and maintain product efficacy.

How to Store Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

• Store Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel at room temperature, below 25°C, in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use and ensure it is stored out of reach of children.
• Do not freeze the product, and avoid storing it in humid environments such as bathrooms, as moisture and temperature fluctuations may affect the integrity of the formulation.

Active Ingredient of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

The active ingredient in Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel is:

• Carbomer (Polyacrylic Acid) 0.2% — a synthetic high-molecular-weight polymer that acts as a viscosity-enhancing and gel-forming agent, providing a long-lasting lubricating and protective layer on the ocular surface.

Other ingredients (excipients) may include sorbitol, sodium hydroxide, and purified water. Always refer to the product packaging or patient information leaflet for the complete list of ingredients.

Side Effects of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

Common Side Effects:

• Temporary blurred vision immediately after application
• Mild stinging or burning sensation in the eye
• Temporary sticky or heavy eyelid feeling upon waking
• Slight eye irritation or discomfort
• Watery eyes or temporary increased tearing

Less Common Side Effects:

Contraindications of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

• Known hypersensitivity to carbomer (polyacrylic acid) or any other ingredient listed in the formulation

• Children under 2 years of age — unless specifically directed by a paediatric ophthalmologist
• Active eye infections or inflammatory eye conditions — unless assessed and approved by a qualified healthcare professional, as the gel may not be appropriate without concurrent treatment
• Post-surgical eye conditions — patients who have recently undergone eye surgery should seek medical advice before using any ocular lubricant

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a chronic eye condition, please consult your doctor or pharmacist before use.

Drug & Food Interaction of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel has a generally low risk of systemic drug interactions due to its topical, localised application. However, the following points are important to be aware of:

• Other eye drops or ocular medications: If you are using any other eye drops, ointments, or ocular medications, maintain a minimum interval of at least 5 to 15 minutes between applications. Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel should typically be applied last due to its high viscosity, which may reduce the absorption of other eye medications if applied beforehand.
• Contact lens solutions: The gel is not compatible with contact lenses and should not be used alongside contact lens wear without removing lenses first.
• Preservative-containing eye products: If you are using multiple eye preparations that contain preservatives, cumulative exposure may increase the risk of ocular surface irritation. Discuss this with your pharmacist if you are on multiple eye treatments.
• Food interactions: There are no known clinically significant food interactions associated with the topical use of Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel.

Always inform your pharmacist or doctor about all medications, supplements, and eye products you are currently using before starting Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel.

Quick Tips for Artelac Nighttime Eye Gel

• 💡 Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying the gel to avoid introducing bacteria into the eye or onto the tube tip.
• 💡 Do not let the tube tip touch your eye, eyelid, or any surface — this prevents contamination of the remaining product.
• 💡 Replace the cap tightly after every use to maintain sterility and prevent the gel from drying out.
• 💡 Write the date of opening on the tube so you can track the 90-day usage window and avoid using expired product.
• 💡 Apply only at bedtime — because the gel causes temporary blurred vision, it is not suitable for use during the day or before driving.
• 💡 Remove contact lenses before application and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them the following morning if needed.
• 💡 Do not share your eye gel tube with others — sharing ocular products is a hygiene risk and may spread eye infections.
• 💡 Store away from direct sunlight and heat — avoid leaving the product in your car or near windows, especially in Malaysia's warm climate.
• 💡 If your symptoms do not improve within 7 days, or if your condition worsens, stop use and consult a pharmacist or doctor promptly.
• 💡 Keep out of reach of children and store in a designated, safe location at home.
