Eye drops “Natural Tear” are often used in modern medicine. This drug does not have any medicinal properties, but it is an excellent lubricant used to additionally moisturize the mucous membrane of the eye. And the absence of contraindications and the minimum number of side effects make this medicine truly irreplaceable.
Drops "Natural tear": composition and pharmacological properties
This drug is a clear solution, which is available in sterile plastic bottles with a volume of 15 ml. The bottle is equipped with a convenient dropper-dispenser, which allows you to use the medicine without problems.
Drops are the so-called polymer water-soluble system. The preparation contains potassium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, purified water, hypromellose and disodium edetate. A small amount of sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid are also present in the solution - they are designed to normalize the pH level.
As mentioned earlier, the Natural Tear preparation is used as an additional moisturizer of the cornea and mucous membrane of the eye. Immediately after instillation, the components of the drug react with the natural secretion of the eye, forming a soft gel-like film. This film protects the eye not only from drying out, but also from irritation. The drug has a very persistent effect, which lasts at least ninety minutes after the first use.
