Altacor add new products to the popular Clinitas brand family

Risk factors for dry eye include ageing, digital screen use, the environment (office / car), certain prescription drugs, arthritis, menopause, tear quality and symptoms after post-refractive surgery.

Sodium hyaluronate is a substance that originates in mucomimetic solutions, with optimal lubricant properties due to the viscosity of the solutions, that result in a moisturising effect and stabilisation of the tear film.

The lubricating, moisturising and protective qualities of sodium hyaluronate relieve irritation, dryness, burning and foreign body sensation due to environmental factors (wind, sun, smoke and dry air), visual stress (excessive light and prolonged use of computers), or mechanical factors (contact lenses use and after ocular surgery) and provides long lasting relief.

Clinitas 0.2% is provided in cartons of 30 resealable vials. After the first dose the top of the vial is simply reversed and replaced.

The vial may then be re-used for up to 12 hours, making Clinitas 0.2% an economical and very convenient eye drop to use on the go and throughout the day. There are enough drops in each unit to last the day.

The Clinitas Multi 0.2% bottle is innovative, intuitive and user friendly. The eye dropper bottle allows our sodium hyaluronate 0.2% 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 more user friendly than some alternatives when close to the eye surface.

The new Clinitas 0.2% products are part of a wider range of dry eye solutions and blepharitis treatments from Altacor.

Other products include Clinitas® 0.4%, Clinitas® Gel and the Clinitas® Eye Compress.
