ACTION AND DESCRIPTION: Sterile hypertonic ophthalmic ointment indicated for the temporary relief of symptoms of corneal edema, such as visual disturbances and pain, even at night. Thanks to its high sodium chloride content, it has a higher osmolarity than tear fluid: this difference is necessary for the reabsorption of edematous fluid. Its application results in a higher saline concentration in the tear film and, consequently, a movement of water from the corneal layers to the surface. Sodium hyaluronate forms a protective shield on the corneal surface, providing protection and hydration. Sodium hyaluronate also makes the application of Hypertonic Ointment more comfortable thanks to its lubricating and mechanical protection properties. COMPOSITION Sodium chloride, sodium hyaluronate, petrolatum oil, petrolatum, monobasic potassium phosphate, disodium phosphate, lanolin alcohol, water, and hydroxymethylglycinate. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Wash your hands thoroughly before use. When opening, do not use the first part of the ointment until the ointment comes out of the tube, as it may be watery. Tilt your head slightly back and pull the lower eyelid down to form a pouch. Hold the tube vertically over your eye. Gently squeeze the tube to release a small amount of the product into the eye to be treated. Apply a small amount of ointment preferably before going to bed. If an additional daily dose is required, apply a small amount of ointment every three to four hours, or as directed by a doctor. Take care that the tip of the tube does not touch the eye or the fingers. Close the cap properly after use.
