Clinical
GenTeal Tears (Moderate) is an over-the-counter eye drop solution containing dextran 70, glycerin, and hypromellose. These ingredients are commonly combined in artificial tear products to help lubricate and moisturize the eye surface. Dextran and hypromellose function as thickening agents that help the drops coat the eye, while glycerin adds moisture-retaining properties. This product is an OTC monograph drug, meaning it is marketed under established FDA guidelines for the artificial tears category.
