Description
THEALOZ DUO is an ophthalmic solution composed of trehalose (3%), sodium hyaluronate (0.15%), sodium chloride, trometamol, hydrochloric acid and water for injections.
THEALOZ DUO is a sterile, phosphate-free, hypotonic and pH neutral solution. The solution is supplied in the ABAK multi-dose bottle. This innovative and patented device provides eye drops through a 0.2 μm filter, preventing any bacterial contamination of the solution without the use of any preservatives. Therefore, THEALOZ DUO is gentle for the eyes as it is preservative-free. The absence of preservatives allows the protection of ocular tissues and also causes no reactions to users who are sensitive to preservatives.
Action
THEALOZ DUO provides immediate comfort that lasts all day long, relief from the symptoms of dry eyes as described previously.
THEALOZ DUO is well tolerated on the ocular surface and can be used by contact lens wearers who wear any type of contact lenses.
The main ingredients of THEALOZ DUO are trehalose and sodium hyaluronate. Trehalose is a natural substance present in many plants and animals, which can survive in extremely dry conditions. It provides protective and hydration properties.
Sodium hyaluronate, naturally found in the human eye, holds water to hydrate and lubricate the surface of the eye. It keeps the solution on the eye surface giving long lasting relief and cutting down the healing time of the ocular surface.
The unique combination of trehalose and sodium hyaluronate in THEALOZ DUO offers long-lasting protection, hydration and lubrication of the eye surface.
