Title: Managing Chronic Dry Eye with Rebamipide Therapy

Hello everyone,

Chronic dry eye syndrome often requires more than just standard lubrication. If your eye care professional has suggested a mucin-secretagogue like Rebacer 10 ml, you are using a specialized treatment designed to fix the underlying quality of your tear film rather than just adding temporary moisture.

This forum thread is dedicated to sharing information on how this specific therapy works and what users should expect during their treatment journey.

Understanding the Mechanism of Rebamipide

Most over-the-counter eye drops are "artificial tears" that supplement the water or oil layer of the eye. However, Rebacer 10 ml contains the active ingredient Rebamipide, which targets the mucin layer.

Mucin Production: Rebamipide works by increasing the number of goblet cells on the conjunctiva and stimulating the secretion of mucin.
Tear Film Adhesion: Mucin is the "glue" that allows tears to stay attached to the surface of the eye. Without enough mucin, tears simply slide off or evaporate too quickly, leading to that "gritty" or "sandy" feeling.
- Surface Healing: By stabilizing the tear film, this medication helps the corneal surface heal from microscopic damage caused by persistent dryness.
Key Application Guidelines
Using a therapeutic suspension like Rebacer 10 ml is slightly different from using standard clear eye drops. To get the best results, keep the following in mind:
- Shake Well: This medication is a suspension, which gives it a characteristic milky white appearance. You must shake the bottle thoroughly before every use to ensure the active Rebamipide is evenly distributed.
- Frequency: The standard protocol is typically one drop administered four times a day (morning, lunch, dinner, and before bed), though you should always follow your doctor's specific instructions.
- The "Wait" Rule: If you use other eye drops, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applications. It is generally recommended to apply this suspension last because of its consistency.
