Klinisk författares anmärkning Michael Stewart 11/03/2025: Emustil® eye drops have been discontinued in the United Kingdom. At the time of review there are no branded or generic products containing soybean oil available in the UK. Products may still be available in other countries. This medicine leaflet is based on medical information available in the UK at the time of writing and is left here for reference purposes. Please also refer to the manufacturer's information supplied with your medicine.

Soybean oil eye drops act as artificial tears.

They make dry eyes feel more comfortable.

You can use the drops up to four times a day.

About soybean oil eye drops

Typ av medicin	Ögonsmörjmedel
Används för	Dry eyes (in adults and children)
Även kallad	Emustil® (discontinued)
Tillgänglig som	Single-use units of eye drops

Emustil® is a lubricating eye drop, also known as an 'artificial tear'. Emustil® eye drops contain two ingredients - soybean oil and natural phospholipids. Soybean oil relieves eye dryness and soreness. The natural phospholipids are substances which are naturally found in your tears, but which can be reduced in people with dry eyes. The eye drops moisten, soothe and lubricate the surface of your eye, making it feel more comfortable.

Emustil® eye drops are available on prescription, or you can buy them without a prescription through a pharmacy.

How to use soybean oil eye drops

Tvätta händerna noggrant innan du använder dropparna.
Twist off the tip of a single-dose unit.
Luta huvudet lite bakåt och dra det nedre ögonlocket nedåt för att bilda en ficka.
Hold the unit upside down near to your eye. Try not to touch your eye as you do this.
Applicera tillräckligt med tryck för att släppa en droppe i ditt öga. Använd endast en andra droppe om den första droppen missade att gå in i ditt öga.
Stäng ögat i en eller två minuter och tryck försiktigt på sidan av näsan där ögonvrån möter näsan. Detta hjälper till att förhindra att droppen rinner bort och håller den kvar i ögat.
Repeat the process in your other eye if required.

Få ut det mesta av din behandling

Before you start using the eye drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet supplied with the pack. It will give you more information about using the drops and will provide a list of any side-effects which you could experience.
Use one drop into the eye (or eyes) affected by dryness. You can use the drops up to four times a day. If the drops have been prescribed for you then you should follow the directions given to you by your doctor.
If you forget to use the drops at your 'usual' time, do not worry; just put them in when you remember. Do not 'double up' the number of drops you use to make up for forgetting to use them.
When first put in, the eye drops can cause blurred vision. This should quickly clear. Make sure you can see clearly again before you drive and before you use tools or machines.
If you are using any other eye drops or ointments, leave about ten minutes between applying each one. It is usually recommended that you use lubricating drops like Emustil® last. This is so that the drops stay in contact with your eye and lubricate it for as long as possible.
If your symptoms do not improve within a few days, see your doctor for further advice.
