Bepanthen Eye Drops
Eye drops with sodium hyaluronate 0.15% and dexpanthenol 2%

Description

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

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

• mechanical stress, e.g. when 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, for example from cigarette smoke, or with
• strained eyes, e.g. when working on computer screens, microscopes 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

1. Separate a single-dose container. Make sure that each single-dose container is undamaged.
2. To open, twist off the flat end of the single-dose container (do not pull).
3. Tilt your head back slightly, look up and gently pull the lower eyelid away from the eye and apply 3-5 drops to the conjunctival sac of the eye as needed. Close your eyes slowly so that the liquid can spread evenly over the surface of the eye.

Composition

Sodium hyaluronate 0.15%, dexpanthenol 2%, sodium chloride, sodium monohydrogen phosphate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, water for injections.

Pack sizes

20 x 0.5 ml single-dose containers and 1 x 10 ml multi-dose bottle.

Precautions and warnings:

• Do not use if the single-dose container or foil packaging is damaged.
• Do not touch the eye with the single-dose container.
• Do not use if you are hypersensitive to any of the ingredients.
• In very rare cases, the use of eye drops can lead to irritation in very sensitive eyes.
• For single use only. Since Bepanthen Eye Drops do not contain any preservatives, any remaining solution must not be used.
• If you are also using other eye drops/eye ointments, an application interval of 15 minutes should be observed. Bepanthen Eye Drops should always be administered last.
• Do not use on infected or injured eyes.
• After application, visual acuity may be reduced for a short time; in this case, do not drive, operate machinery or wait until normal visual acuity has returned.
• Do not use the eye drops after the expiry date. This can be found printed on each single-dose container, on each sealed bag and on the folding box.
• Bepanthen Eye Drops contain phosphate buffer. In the case of significant damage to the surface of the cornea, precipitation of calcium salts may occur in very rare cases with long-term use of Bepanthen Eye Drops.
• If there is no improvement or if the symptoms worsen, consult your ophthalmologist.
