Pharmacological properties

Pharmacodynamics

The active ingredients of Systane help to get rid of dry and irritated eyes. This effect is achieved due to the specific consistency of the solution, which does not possess chemical activity and does not exert a mechanical effect on the mucous membrane of the organ of vision. The minimum thickness of the polymer film prevents premature drying and irritation of the inner surfaces of the eye.

The solution has an effective effect throughout the day. A decrease in the therapeutic effect is possible due to the physiological washout of the drug with lacrimal fluid.

Indications for use

Systane is used to moisturize, provide long-term eye comfort and temporarily relieve dry eye symptoms (irritation, dryness, feeling of sand or a foreign body in the eye, burning sensation) caused by wind, cosmetics, dust, dry heat (sauna or radiator), air conditioner, smoke, flickering of a working computer monitor or TV.
