Release form

Systane Ultra eye drops are produced in the form of a sterile solution, packaged in plastic bottles (10 or 15 ml) with a dropper tip. In a cardboard box, 1 bottle with an ophthalmic agent and the attached detailed instructions for use.

Pharmacological properties

After instillation, the eye drops form a film on the cornea, which protects it from external negative factors and infection. An ophthalmic agent very quickly removes the following signs of "dry eye":
    itching;
    burning;
    redness;
    dryness;
    irritation;
    feeling of sand, grit.
In addition, the drug eliminates the discomfort when wearing contact lenses and prolonged work at the computer. The drops have no effect on visual perception. Gradually washed away from the cornea of ​​the eye with tear fluid when blinking. Pharmacokinetics: when applied topically, the active ingredients of the drug do not penetrate into the lymph and systemic circulation.

Indications for use

Dry eye syndrome is the main indication for the use of Systane drops. This condition can be caused by the following reasons:
    dry or cold air:
    ultraviolet radiation;
    long-term work at the computer;
    prolonged stay in a dusty room or in the wind;
    wearing contact lenses;
    the use of decorative cosmetics for the eyes;
    the use of certain medications.
Ophthalmic agent Systane Ultra does not have a therapeutic effect, but only temporarily moisturizes and protects the cornea from the negative effects of external factors.

Instructions for use

The instructions for use indicate that Systane Ultra drops are used as needed throughout the day. For one application, only no more than two drops of the solution can be instilled into each eye. The interval between use should be at least 1.5-2 hours.
Contact lenses may not be removed during instillation. Shake the bottle with the agent before the procedure. In order for the medicine to be evenly distributed over the cornea, immediately after instillation, you need to blink vigorously.
The duration of use depends on the intensity of the unpleasant symptoms. Therefore, you should visit an ophthalmologist to determine the duration of use.

Contraindications

There is only one contraindication to the use of Systane Ultra eye drops - individual intolerance to the components of the drug.
The drug does not have a systemic effect and does not penetrate into the blood. Therefore, it is safe for the elderly, children, pregnant and lactating women. But for this category of patients, the attending physician should prescribe drops and select the dosage.

Side effects, overdose

The sterile solution is well tolerated by patients and rarely causes side effects. But in some cases, the following undesirable consequences may appear:
    increased or decreased production of tear fluid;
    discomfort in the eyes;
    itching, burning;
    hyperemia;
    allergic reactions (rare).
They are usually temporary and go away on their own. Overdose cases have not been identified.

Drug interactions

Systane drops are not recommended to be used simultaneously with other ophthalmic agents (drops, gel, ointment). The therapeutic effect of such drugs is based on the distribution of active substances over the surface of the cornea. The dampening solution interferes with this process. The interval between the use of drugs should be 20-30 minutes.

Children under 18 years of age should consult a specialist before using the drug. There are no reliable data on efficacy and safety for children.
The drops do not have any effect on the ability to drive vehicles and on the performance of work that requires precision and concentration.

Reviews

Nadezhda, 28 years old
I've been wearing contact lenses since school. Recently, I began to notice that by the evening my eyes turn red and get more tired. I went to an ophthalmologist, who said that the discomfort is associated with the constant wearing of lenses. Registered Systane Ultra. I drip into my eyes as needed. Unpleasant sensations disappear immediately after instillation. For me, a huge plus is the ease of use. The tool can be instilled without removing the corrective device. Since I am at the institute all day. My reviews are only positive!
Dmitry, 40 years old
I work as a truck driver, so I drive most of the time. Eyesight is very strained (especially at night). And dusty roads affect the clarity of vision. A work buddy suggested trying some moisturizing drops. The pharmacy gave Systane Ultra drops. A wonderful tool. Almost immediately I felt an improvement: the clarity returned, the feeling of sand in the eyes disappeared. Now drops are always with me on the flight.
Alexander, 26 years old
I work at a computer, because of which my eyesight has deteriorated, and a dry eye syndrome has appeared. The doctor picked up his glasses and prescribed this drug. I drip several times a day. I want to say that Systane really moisturizes the eyes and removes the signs of tired eyes. The wife also began to use them and noted that the look after their application was clearer and more expressive. We recommend the whole family to try Systane Ultra drops!
