Rugby Sodium Chloride Ophthalmic Ointment 5% – 3.5g Tube | Compare to Muro 128

Rugby Sodium Chloride Hypertonicity Ophthalmic Ointment 5% is a sterile, preservative-free eye ointment used for the temporary relief of corneal edema. Corneal edema causes swelling of the clear front surface of the eye, leading to blurred vision, halos around lights, and discomfort.

Each 3.5g tube contains 50 mg of sodium chloride per gram (5%), the same active concentration as brand-name Muro 128. This hypertonic agent draws excess fluid from the cornea, helping restore clarity and relieve irritation. Rugby’s formula is manufactured by Bausch & Lomb and sold under the trusted Rugby brand — offering high quality at a lower price.
