Artelac Rebalance Eye Drops

Artelac Rebalance Eye Drops is an eye drop manufactured by Bausch + Lomb and sold in Malaysia in a 10ml multidose bottle. Its formulation combines 0.15% Sodium Hyaluronate with 0.5% PEG 8000, Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin), boric acid, and a balanced electrolyte system (potassium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, and sodium chloride) in a sterile water base, preserved using the manufacturer’s Oxyd® preservative system. This is an OTC (Over-the-Counter) eye care product that can be purchased in Malaysia without a doctor’s prescription.

Artelac Rebalance is formulated as a multi-component eye drop, combining a lubricating polymer (sodium hyaluronate), a viscosity-modifying agent (PEG 8000), an antioxidant vitamin (B12), and electrolytes intended to resemble the composition of natural tears. The Oxyd® preservative system used in this product is designed to allow repeated use from the same 10ml bottle over its labelled in-use period, distinguishing it from the single-dose vial format used in other Artelac products such as Artelac Splash and Artelac Lipids.

As with other products in the Artelac range, Artelac Rebalance is manufactured by Bausch + Lomb and distributed in Malaysia through Orbitmedica, and is available at major pharmacy chains and licensed online pharmacies. Customers should check the specific formulation of each Artelac product before switching between them, as Artelac Rebalance, Artelac Splash, Artelac Nighttime Gel, and Artelac Lipids each contain different active ingredients and are packaged differently (multidose bottle versus single-dose vials or tube).

• Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
• Remove the cap and avoid touching the dropper tip against your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface.
• Tilt your head back, gently pull down the lower eyelid, and instil one drop into the affected eye or eyes.
• Blink gently a few times to help spread the drop evenly across the eye.
• Replace the cap securely immediately after use to keep the solution clean for the next application.
• Do not share this bottle with another person, and discard it once the in-use period stated on the packaging has passed, even if some solution remains.

Instil one drop of Artelac Rebalance into the affected eye or eyes, repeated as needed according to the frequency advised on the package insert or by a pharmacist. There is no universal fixed number of daily applications set by the manufacturer, as frequency depends on individual need; however, customers who need to use it very frequently each day should check with a pharmacist or eye care professional. This product is generally intended for use by adults, and parents should check with a doctor or pharmacist before use in children.

Use Artelac Rebalance Eye Drops before the expiry date printed on the carton and bottle. Once the bottle has been opened, use it only within the in-use period stated on the packaging, and discard it after that period even if solution remains in the bottle.

Store Artelac Rebalance Eye Drops at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture, with the cap tightly closed between uses. Keep this product out of sight and reach of children, and do not use the bottle if the solution looks discoloured or contains visible particles.

• Common: mild, temporary stinging or a burning sensation immediately after instillation.
• Common: temporary blurred vision for a few moments after application.
• Uncommon: eye redness, itchiness, or a foreign-body sensation.
• Serious: signs of an allergic reaction, such as eyelid swelling, marked redness, or a rash around the eye, which should be reported to a doctor or pharmacist promptly.

• Known hypersensitivity to sodium hyaluronate, PEG 8000, vitamin B12, or any other ingredient in this product.
• Do not use if the bottle’s tamper-evident seal is broken on first purchase, or if the solution appears discoloured or contains particles.
• Do not use together with any other eye product in the same eye without checking with a pharmacist first.

• No clinically significant drug or food interactions have been established for this product, as it is applied topically to the surface of the eye.
• If using more than one type of eye drop, space them several minutes apart and check with a pharmacist on the correct order of application.
• Not applicable for systemic drug or food interactions, as this is a topical eye care product rather than an orally or systemically administered medicine.

• Keep the bottle cap tightly closed between uses to help keep the solution clean.
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, eyelashes, fingers, or any other surface.
• Write the date you opened the bottle on the carton so you know when the in-use period ends.
• Wash your hands before each application.
• If you use more than one eye product, ask a pharmacist about the correct order and spacing between them.
• Store the bottle upright at room temperature, away from direct heat and sunlight.

Precautions: If you wear contact lenses, check the product packaging or ask your eye care professional about compatibility before use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can generally use topical eye lubricants, but should check with a doctor or pharmacist if they have any concerns. Discontinue use and seek advice if eye discomfort continues or worsens after using this product.

When to See a Doctor or Pharmacist: Seek medical advice if you experience persistent eye pain, vision changes that do not resolve quickly, marked redness, or any signs of an allergic reaction. A pharmacist can also help confirm whether this product is suitable if you are already using other eye medications or have a chronic eye condition.
