Medicine Description systane-hydration 0.7ml
systane hydration moisturizing drops to treat dry eyes is a medication designed to alleviate symptoms associated with dry eyes through a combination of propylene glycol and sodium hyaluronate. Propylene glycol acts as a humectant, drawing moisture into the eye and retaining it to ensure prolonged hydration. Sodium hyaluronate, a naturally occurring polymer, contributes to this effect by forming a protective layer on the surface of the eye, enhancing lubrication and promoting comfort. Together, these ingredients create a soothing environment, minimizing irritation and dryness, while also supporting the natural tear film.
