Drug Overview

Oasis Tears® is a preservative-free lubricant eye drop designed to provide temporary relief from burning and irritation caused by dryness of the eye. It can also help alleviate discomfort due to minor irritations from environmental factors like wind or sun exposure. These eye drops act as a protectant against further irritation and are formulated to relieve dryness, ensuring comfort for your eyes.

Glycerin is a laxative available in suppository form, primarily used for the relief of occasional constipation. It works by drawing water into the intestines, which helps to produce a bowel movement typically within 15 minutes to 1 hour. This gentle and effective solution is suitable for both adults and children, providing fast relief from irregularity.

Uses

You can use this product for the temporary relief of burning and irritation caused by dryness of the eye. It helps alleviate discomfort from minor irritations or exposure to wind and sun, and acts as a lubricant to prevent further irritation. Additionally, it serves as a protectant against dryness.

For occasional constipation, this product is effective in providing relief. It typically produces a bowel movement within 15 minutes to 1 hour. However, it is important not to use laxative products for longer than one week unless directed by a doctor.

Dosage and Administration

You can use the following instructions for administering the products:

For eye drops, wash your hands before use. Open the container and instill 1 or 2 drops into the affected eye(s) as needed. Be sure not to touch the tip of the container after opening, and use the solution immediately.

For glycerin suppositories, the dosage varies by age. Adults and children aged 6 years and older should insert 1 suppository well into the rectum once daily or as directed by a doctor. For children aged 2 to under 6 years, use a child-specific suppository, inserting it well into the rectum and retaining it for 15 minutes. Children under 2 years should consult a doctor before use. The suppository does not need to melt completely to work effectively.

Always follow the specific instructions for each product and consult a healthcare professional if you have any questions or concerns.

What to Avoid

You should avoid using these products under certain conditions to ensure your safety and well-being. Do not use any solution or drops if the product changes color, becomes cloudy, or if the tamper-evident seal is broken or missing. If you are sensitive to any ingredient, discontinue use immediately. For laxatives, do not use for longer than one week unless directed by a doctor, and avoid using them if you have abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting. If you experience rectal bleeding or do not have a bowel movement within one hour of use, consult a doctor right away. Additionally, keep all products out of reach of children, and seek medical help if swallowed.

If you have a history of hypersensitivity to specific ingredients, such as honey or bee products, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. Always follow the instructions provided and seek medical advice if symptoms persist or worsen.

Side Effects

When using eye drops, you should be aware of potential side effects. If you experience eye pain, changes in vision, or persistent redness or irritation, stop using the product and consult a doctor. These symptoms may indicate a serious condition, especially if they worsen or last more than 72 hours. Additionally, do not use the drops if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy, and avoid touching the tip of the container to any surface to prevent contamination.

For rectal use products, you may experience discomfort or a burning sensation. It's important to stop using the product and seek medical advice if you notice rectal bleeding or do not have a bowel movement within one hour after use, as these could be signs of a serious condition. Always consult a doctor before using laxatives if you have abdominal pain, nausea, or a sudden change in bowel habits lasting more than two weeks. Keep all products out of reach of children, and seek immediate help if swallowed.

Warnings and Precautions

  • For eye drops and solutions: These products are for external use only. Do not use if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy. If you experience eye pain, changes in vision, or continued redness or irritation, stop using the product and consult a doctor if symptoms persist for more than 72 hours. Keep out of reach of children, and if swallowed, seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.

  • For glycerin suppositories: These are for rectal use only and may cause discomfort or a burning sensation. Do not use if you have abdominal pain, nausea, or vomiting unless directed by a doctor.

Overdose

If you accidentally swallow any of the following products, such as eye drops, glycerin suppositories, or sprays, it's important to seek medical help immediately or contact a Poison Control Center. Signs of an overdose may include unusual symptoms, but specific symptoms can vary depending on the product. Always keep these products out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

For any product that you swallow, remember to act quickly: get medical assistance or call a Poison Control Center right away. The national Poison Control Center number is 1-800-222-1222.

Pregnancy Use

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and considering the use of glycerin suppositories or related products, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before use. The available information does not specify any safety concerns, contraindications, or dosage modifications for these products during pregnancy. While no specific risks to the fetus have been mentioned, the lack of detailed studies means that potential risks are not fully understood.

In general, if you experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or rectal bleeding, seek medical advice before using any laxative products. Always keep these products out of reach of children and follow the guidance of your healthcare provider for safe use during pregnancy.

Lactation Use

When considering the use of glycerin suppositories or similar products while breastfeeding, it's important to consult your healthcare professional first. Many labels indicate that there is no specific information available regarding the potential for these products to pass into breast milk (excreted in breast milk) or any associated risks to your infant. However, some products do mention a potential for excretion in breast milk, and caution is advised due to the lack of well-studied effects on nursing infants.

In summary, always seek guidance from your doctor before using any medication or supplement while breastfeeding, especially if there are concerns about how it may affect your milk or your baby.

Pediatric Use

For children aged 2 to under 6 years, you can use glycerin suppositories, with a recommended dosage of 1 suppository daily or as directed by a doctor. It's important to insert the suppository well into the rectum and retain it for about 15 minutes for it to work effectively. If your child is under 2 years old, you should consult a doctor before use.

Before using glycerin as a laxative, ask a doctor if your child has any of the following: abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, a sudden change in bowel habits lasting more than two weeks, or if they have already used a laxative for more than one week. Stop using the product and consult a doctor if your child experiences rectal bleeding or does not have a bowel movement within one hour after using the suppository. Always keep this product out of reach of children, and if swallowed, seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.

Geriatric Use

You may find that glycerin, commonly available in suppository form, does not have specific guidelines or dosage adjustments for older adults. This means that while it is generally considered safe, there are no tailored recommendations or precautions provided for elderly patients.

For eye care solutions like Optase and other similar products, there is also a lack of specific information regarding their use in older adults. As always, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using any new medication or treatment, especially if you have underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.

Renal Impairment

When using certain medications, it's important to be aware of how kidney health can affect their safety and effectiveness. For some products, such as specific eye drops and glycerin suppositories, dosage adjustments may be necessary if you have reduced kidney function. Regular monitoring of renal function tests is recommended for those with known kidney issues, especially if your creatinine clearance is less than 30 mL/min. This means that if your kidneys are not filtering waste effectively, you may need a lower dose of the medication to avoid potential side effects.

Always consult with your healthcare provider if you have kidney problems before starting any new medication, as they can provide personalized advice and ensure your treatment is safe and effective.

Hepatic Impairment

You may be wondering about the use of certain products if you have liver issues. It's important to note that for a variety of solutions and suppositories, including those like Oasis Tears, Glycerin, and various eye drops, there is no specific information provided regarding liver impairment. This means that there are no dosage adjustments, special monitoring, or precautions mentioned for individuals with liver problems.

If you have liver concerns, it's always best to consult with your healthcare provider before using any new medication or product to ensure it is safe for you.

Drug Interactions

You can use glycerin suppositories and various eye drop solutions without worrying about drug interactions, as no specific interactions have been reported for these products. However, it's essential to discuss any medications or tests you are taking with your healthcare provider. This ensures that you receive personalized advice and helps prevent any potential issues with your health. Always prioritize open communication with your provider to ensure safe and effective use of any treatments.

Storage and Handling

To ensure the best quality and safety of your products, store solutions and drops like Oasis Tears and Optase in a cool, dark place, ideally at temperatures between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Protect them from light and freezing, and remember to discard any opened containers after 30 days. For glycerin suppositories, keep them tightly closed and store at room temperature, ideally between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F), avoiding excessive heat.

When disposing of any opened products, follow the guidance to discard them after the specified time or if the seal is broken. Always check the expiration date on the packaging and ensure that any containers are sealed properly before storage. If you notice any changes in color or consistency, do not use the product and dispose of it safely.

    • No bowel movement within 1 hour after using the product

  • Possible side effects may include rectal discomfort or a burning sensation.

General Precautions

  • Keep out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek medical help or contact a Poison Control Center immediately.

Geriatric Use

No specific information regarding geriatric use, dosage adjustments, safety concerns, or special precautions for elderly patients is provided in the inserts for the following products: Glycerin (various formulations), Optase (various formulations), and other related solutions and suppositories. Therefore, healthcare professionals should exercise caution when prescribing these products to geriatric patients, as the absence of data may necessitate careful monitoring and individualized assessment of treatment efficacy and safety in this population.

Pregnancy

There is limited information available regarding the use of glycerin products during pregnancy. The inserts for various glycerin formulations, including suppositories and solutions, do not provide specific safety data, contraindications, or dosage modifications for pregnant patients.

For glycerin suppositories, the general recommendation is to consult a healthcare professional if pregnant or breastfeeding before use. This precaution is noted across multiple products, including Walgreens Adult Glycerin, Rite-Aid Glycerin, and Avedana Glycerin.

The safety of glycerin solutions, such as Optase, has not been established during pregnancy, and no specific contraindications or risks to the fetus are mentioned in the product inserts. Similarly, no dosage modifications or special precautions are detailed for these products.

In summary, while there are no explicit warnings or contraindications regarding the use of glycerin products during pregnancy, healthcare professionals should be consulted to evaluate the potential benefits and risks for pregnant patients.

Lactation

Nursing mothers are advised to consult a healthcare professional before using glycerin suppositories or related products. There is a potential for excretion of glycerin in breast milk; however, specific information regarding the extent of this excretion and its effects on breastfed infants is limited and not well studied. Caution is recommended when administering these products to nursing mothers due to the possible risk to infants.

For glycerin suppositories, while some labels indicate no specific warnings or recommendations for nursing mothers, the general consensus is to seek medical advice prior to use. The effects on nursing infants remain unclear, and monitoring for any adverse reactions is advisable.

In summary, while glycerin products may be used by nursing mothers, the lack of comprehensive data on excretion and infant risk necessitates a cautious approach, emphasizing the importance of professional consultation.

Renal Impairment

Patients with renal impairment may require careful consideration when using certain products. While many labels do not provide specific information regarding dosage adjustments or monitoring for patients with kidney problems, some products do include relevant guidance.

For instance, it is noted that dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with reduced renal function, particularly for those with a creatinine clearance of less than 30 mL/min. Regular monitoring of renal function tests is advised for patients with known kidney issues. Special monitoring is also recommended for patients with severe renal impairment to ensure safety and efficacy.

In summary, while several products lack detailed information on renal impairment, those that do suggest the need for dosage adjustments and regular monitoring highlight the importance of assessing renal function in patients with compromised kidney health.

Hepatic Impairment

Patients with hepatic impairment may not require specific dosage adjustments, special monitoring, or precautions when using the following products, as no relevant information is provided in the drug inserts:

  • Oasis Tears (Solution/Drops)
