Eye Drops - Artificial Tears in One Minute!

Once, at the most inopportune moment, I ran out of eye drops - artificial tears. I could not go to the pharmacy then and began to think about how they could be replaced. I tried to use distilled water, but it turned out that it stings my eyes. And then I remembered that I use these drops only at home. If I go to the sea, then the problem disappears for a while. Of course, I did not imitate sea water with the help of salt, iodine and water. I simply prepared a normal saline solution and poured it into a pipette-vial. Since then, I have not bought any more eye drops. But even those drops that I made myself, for some reason, will not end. Apparently I started using them less often.

🤔...😅 Is there a way to make our own chewable antacid tablets

[@IurisWorkshop]

Stomach acidity can be neutralized with regular baking soda, which you probably have in your kitchen. Take a little soda (about 0.5 g) on ​​the edge of a teaspoon and dilute it in 100-200 ml of water. Or you can pour it directly on the tongue and drink it with water. Works in 5-15 minutes.

​@@IurisWorkshop I posted a reply buy it may have been removed because I included a link. Anyway I'm aware that NaHCO3 works, I use it when I don't have tablets. I would like to try making tablets. I copied this from the link I tried to send. It's what rennies use in their spearmint tablets INGREDIENTS •Talc •Povidone •Sucrose •Glucose •Spearmint flavour •Calcium carbonate •Sodium saccharin •Magnesium stearate •Heavy magnesium carbonate I think some of those could be substituted or left out. The povidone seems to be what holds everything together

@@IurisWorkshop you are right I could just carry bag of bicarb around

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@SodiumInteresting There are such Quamatel tablets. Can find analogues for his country. There is an American equivalent, but I don't remember the name now. Depending on the severity of the problem, you can take from 20-40 mg per day. You don't have to take it all the time. It is enough to take a pill if the acidity has increased.

@@IurisWorkshop might be omeprazole I can get some more of that from my doctor, I should ask

[@user-mh3ws1ol5c]

Does it cure eye sight ?

[@IurisWorkshop]

No. These drops can only relieve dry eye symptoms.

[@user-mh3ws1ol5c]

@@IurisWorkshop thank you sir But how long should we use it ? Are there any side effects ? On our eyes ?

[@IurisWorkshop]

@@user-mh3ws1ol5c There are no side effects. Medical saline can be drunk, injected into a vein, etc. But you must ensure the purity of the solution when making it. The vial must also be very thoroughly rinsed from the old solution. If you do not spend the solution in a month, then it is better to change it.
