Information About Diquafosol

Diquafosol is a P2Y2 receptor agonist used to treat dry eye disease by stimulating natural tear and mucin secretion in Singapore. Available as a 3% ophthalmic solution applied six times daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike conventional lubricating eye drops that simply replace deficient tears, diquafosol stimulates conjunctival goblet cells to produce additional mucin and lacrimal fluid, addressing both aqueous and mucin deficiency components of dry eye disease.
