Suggested Directions: Always read packaging and enclosed leaflet before use. If the person taking this medicine has any medical conditions or is taking other medication consult your pharmacist or doctor before use.
- Blephagel can be applied morning and evening, or as often as is deemed necessary; it can also be left on overnight and wiped off in the morning.

- Blephagel can be used by all contact lens wearers.
- The gel remains sterile up to 2 months after opening.
- If symptoms persist or worsen, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
