Pharmacology
Dextran & Hypromellose combination Eye drops acts like natural tears, which provides smoothing relief to dry, itchy, burning and irritated eyes. It helps eyes to stay moist
healthy and protects against further irritation. This unique combination of ingredients works together to retain moisture on the eye and slow evaporation of the tear film.
Hypromellose promotes corneal wetting by stabilizing and thickening the precorneal tear film and prolonging the tear film breakup time, which is usually shortened in dry eye conditions. Also acts to lubricate and protect the eye. Dextran is a complex branched glucan composed of chains of varying lengths. It is used medicinally as an antithrombotic, to reduce blood viscosity, and as a volume expander in hypovolaemia.
