How long can the 10ml bottle provided with Clinitas Multi and Clinitas Soothe Multi be used for once opened?
3 months - The 10ml multi dose bottle uses the Novelia® bottle and its innovative delivery system. The eye dropper bottle allows our unique sodium hyaluronate 0.4% dry eye formulation to be truly preservative free and be used for up to 3 months once opened.

The dropper mechanism enables the patient to accurately administer single drops. The smooth and soft silicone tip is safer than some alternatives when close to the eye surface. Displaced volume is replaced by filtered air which enables us to use ZERO preservatives but still maintain complete sterility for 3 months.
