What damage do hydroxypropl methylcellulose have in the body?

Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is the ingredient in contact solutions and drops that keep dry eyes moist. It prevents damage to the eye in certain eye diseases.

The ways that it could damage you in any way was if you had an allergy to Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, pregnant/breasfeeding, and children and elderly adults.

There are no studies done comparing young children and the elderly's reaction to Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose. In some cases the elderly have different side effects/reactions and the data just isn't there. In children it is expected not to produce any different side effects but again no data to state otherwise.

Remember if one person reports a side effect it has to be documented. The best thing to do would be to ask your doctor and/or pharmacist.
