Miebo at CanadaPharmacyOnline.com

Miebo, manufactured by Bausch + Lomb, is currently available in the United States and Canada. It is also distributed in other countries through partnerships, such as in Australia and New Zealand via AFT Pharmaceuticals, known as Novatears Eye Drops.

The generic version of perfluorohexyloctane is currently unavailable (at this pharmacy).

Dosage:

Miebo is available as eye drops (ophthalmic solution) containing 100% perfluorohexyloctane, meaning the active ingredient is the sole component of the solution. It is typically packaged in a 3 ml bottle.

Instill one drop of Miebo four times daily into the affected eye(s). Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage based on individual needs and medical conditions.

Usage:

Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane) is a prescription medication used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. Dry eye disease occurs when your eyes are not producing enough tears or when the tears they produce are abnormal due to excessive evaporation. The symptoms include a scratchy or gritty feeling in your eyes, stinging or burning sensations, and a sensation of something being in your eyes. Redness, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and difficulty wearing contact lenses are other signs of dry eyes.

Mechanism of Action:
Miebo (perfluorohexyloctane) is a semifluorinated alkane that forms a protective monolayer at the tear film's air-liquid interface. This layer is believed to stabilize the natural lipid layer, thereby reducing tear evaporation and loss, and improving ocular surface hydration. While these actions are observed, the exact mechanism by which Miebo alleviates dry eye disease remains unclear.

Use Miebo exactly as your doctor prescribes, following the instructions in the patient information leaflet. Consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use.
