Pharmacist FAQs Answered

Can I use Xailin Night Eye Ointment with contact lenses?

No, you should remove contact lenses before using Xailin Night Lubricating Eye Ointment. This product is an oil-based ointment that can stick to and damage lenses. If you wear contacts during the day, apply the ointment at night after removing them. Make sure your eyes are clear of the ointment before putting lenses back in the next day.

What age is Xailin Night Eye Ointment suitable for?

Xailin Night is generally safe for adults and children over 12, unless a doctor or pharmacist advises otherwise. It’s best to talk to a healthcare professional before using it on children under 12, as their eyes may be more sensitive and require special care.

How should I store Xailin Night Lubricating Eye Ointment?

Store the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and outside children's reach. Do not freeze the ointment. Ensure the cap is tightly closed after each use to keep the contents clean. Once opened, the tube should be discarded after 28 days to prevent any risk of infection.

What if I accidentally use too much ointment?

Using too much Xailin Night isn’t usually harmful, but it can blur your vision for a while. If this happens, don’t rub your eyes—just blink a few times and allow your eyes to clear naturally. Avoid driving or using machinery until your vision returns to normal. If irritation continues or you experience discomfort, consult a pharmacist or an eye care specialist.

Can I use Xailin Night Ointment every night in the long term?

Yes, you can use Xailin Night Ointment regularly over the long term if you have ongoing dry eye symptoms. It’s designed to be gentle and soothing. However, if your symptoms do not improve or get worse over time, it’s essential to get checked by your optician, GP, or pharmacist. Sometimes dry eyes are caused by other health issues that need attention.
