Description
Sterile, wetting and lubricating ophthalmic solution for dogs and cats containing: carbopol, thimerosal, sodium hydroxide, disodium EDTA and distilled water. Under normal conditions, there is a perfect balance between the production and elimination of the tear film, whose multiple functions are essential for efficient visual function. The tear film performs a wetting and lubricating function that allows blinking, as well as protecting the corneal epithelia, maintaining normal hydration. The amount of tear film normally secreted ensures a high-quality optical surface for the corneal dioptre, allows corneal respiration by promoting atmospheric oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange, and removes metabolites, normal cellular debris from desquamation, and any foreign bodies. Particular conditions such as high ambient temperature and air pollution can increase the evaporation rate of the tear film, altering its turnover and causing dry eye conditions. This condition can be aggravated in some breeds due to the particular anatomical structure of the eyeball. The use of Epigel ensures a wetting and lubricating action that replaces the unavailable tear film.
Indicated for dry eyes. Improves and restores the tear film, promoting corneal lubrication.
