DESCRIPTION
OCUCOAT is a sterile, isotonic, nonpyrogenic
viscoelastic solution of highly purified, noninflammatory, 2% hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
with a high molecular weight greater than 80,000 daltons. OCUCOAT is supplied
in 1 mL syringes. Each mL provides 20 mg/mL of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose
dissolved in a physiological balanced salt solution containing 0.49% sodium
chloride, 0.075% potassium chloride, 0.048% calcium chloride, 0.03% magnesium
chloride, 0.39% sodium acetate, 0.17% sodium citrate and water for injection.
