Description
Hydrating, epithelio-protective, soothing, and lubricating ophthalmic solution.
Sterile aqueous hydrogel containing: polyvinyl alcohol, with lubricating, hydrating, viscoelastic, mucoadhesive, protective action; dexpanthenol, a homolog of pantothenic acid, belonging to the B vitamin group, a vitamin tissue nutrient, epithelio-protective; hexamidine diisethionate, polyhexanide hydrochloride, and disodium edetate with protective action.
Thanks to the properties of its components, the product is indicated as an adjuvant in the corneal re-epithelialization process, particularly following stress or physical insults.
The presence of antiseptics in the formulation ensures the sterility of the ophthalmic solution after the first opening of the vial, promoting the protection of ocular tissues from irritation. In the product, the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (1.25%) has been specifically studied to ensure that the resulting hydrogel has rheological characteristics similar to those of tear fluid and effective adhesive properties on ocular mucous membranes with a lubricating, hydrating, protective effect without causing visual blurring. This hydrogel also ensures prolonged residence of the components on the ocular mucous membranes, promoting their nourishing-vitamin action, which aids re-epithelialization.
The methylsulfonylmethane present among the excipients of the formulation, a substance containing biologically available sulfur, facilitates the superficial absorption of dexpanthenol, thanks to an activation of cellular permeability. It is an aqueous colloidal liquid characterized by the following physicochemical characteristics: it is perfectly transparent and colorless; it is miscible with tear fluid in all proportions; it has pH, viscosity, and osmolarity values perfectly compatible with ocular tissues and tear fluid, and therefore has a high degree of tolerability.

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