Description
A veterinary product for dogs, cats, non-food producing horses and pet rabbits, consisting of a sterile, isotonic saline solution, with N-acetylcarnosine and carboxymethylcellulose, indicated for protecting, hydrating and lubricating the ocular surface.
The addition of glycerin promotes the extraction of water from ocular tissues (hydrating action) with the consequent formation of a thin aqueous film on the corneal surface which, in the presence of carboxymethylcellulose, is incorporated into the cellulosic polymer network, forming a hydrogel with film-forming and viscoelastic properties with a protective action.
The specific concentration of carboxymethylcellulose (0.03%) gives the hydrogel rheological characteristics similar to those of tear fluid, and good adhesive capacity on the ear mucosa; the N-acetylcysteine content promotes the restoration of normal physiological conditions at the ocular level, counteracting the aggression of cellular lipid peroxidases.
Thanks to its peculiar qualitative-quantitative composition, ACTASTIL promotes normal epithelial trophism and protects ocular tissues (lens, cornea and conjunctiva) in situations of ocular discomfort such as: prolonged exposure to sunlight, wind, dust, smog and oxidative stress due to environmental factors.
ACTASTIL is an aqueous solution, perfectly transparent and miscible with tear fluid in all proportions: it has a pH and osmolality value perfectly compatible with ocular tissue and tear fluid, thus resulting in a high degree of tolerability.

Instructions for use
Instill 1-2 drops of the solution into the eye, applying slight pressure to the bottle. It is advisable to repeat the operation 2-3 times or more times a day. If used in combination with other eye drops, it is advisable to use them at different times to avoid mutual dilutions.

Components
Purified water, glycerin, N-acetylcarnosine, carboxymethylcellulose 0.3%, sodium chloride, sodium tetraborate decahydrate, disodium edetate, potassium bicarbonate, methyl P-hydroxybenzoate, propyl P-hydroxybenzoate.
