Description
Sodium Hyaluronate and Lidocaine Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution – Prefilled Syringe is a sterile, preservative-free combination medication used in ophthalmology for various eye procedures. This ophthalmic solution is typically administered to provide local anesthesia and lubrication during surgical interventions involving the eye.
Active Ingredients:
- Sodium Hyaluronate: A natural polymer that functions as a lubricant for the eye. It helps retain moisture, reduce friction, and protect the corneal surface, especially during and after eye surgeries.
- Lidocaine Hydrochloride: A local anesthetic used to block nerve signals, temporarily numbing the surface of the eye. This makes it useful in pain management during eye procedures.
Formulation:
- Sodium Hyaluronate is included in the formulation to prevent dry eye and provide long-lasting lubrication. It also acts as a viscoelastic substance to maintain the shape of the eye during surgery.
- Lidocaine Hydrochloride numbs the area and reduces discomfort associated with procedures such as cataract surgery, laser treatments, or corneal surgery.
The solution comes in a prefilled syringe, making it convenient for precise and easy administration during ophthalmic procedures. The prefilled syringe is typically designed for single-use to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure accurate dosing.
