Bepanthen® Eye Drops

For improved eye lubrication, soothing and relieving

Sodium hyaluronate 0.15% and dexpanthenol 2%

• Preservative-free
• Suitable for contact lens wearers
• Practical single-dose containers

Bepanthen® Eye Drops form a sterile, preservative-free, viscoelastic, clear protective film for the cornea. They are made from natural, biological substances. These include the sodium salt of hyaluronic acid, which, due to its special physical properties, forms a uniform, stable, and particularly long-lasting protective film on the cornea without impairing vision. In addition, Bepanthen® Eye Drops contain provitamin B5 (dexpanthenol), which, due to its high water-binding capacity, has the ability to refresh and additionally care for the eye. This effectively supports the moisturizing properties of sodium hyaluronate.

The combination of sodium hyaluronate (tear film stabilizing) and dexpanthenol (caring, soothing) protects and moisturizes the eye surface and makes it smooth. This provides long-lasting relief from discomfort associated with

• mechanical stress
  e.g., caused by wearing hard or soft contact lenses or during diagnostic procedures on the eye
• environmental stress
  e.g., from air conditioning, wind, cold, dryness, or air pollution
• strained eyes
  e.g., when working at computer screens and during long car journeys.

Due to their preservative-free nature, Bepanthen® Eye Drops are particularly well tolerated even with long-term use. Bepanthen® Eye Drops are also suitable for contact lens wearers.

Application:
Separate a single-dose container. Make sure that each single-dose container is undamaged. To open, twist off the top of the single-dose container (do not pull). Tilt your head back slightly, gently pull the lower eyelid away from the eye, and instill one drop into the lower conjunctival sac of the eye. Administer one or two drops into each eye several times a day as needed. Close your eyes slowly so that the fluid can spread evenly over the surface of the eye.
