How does the active ingredient in the medication work?
The active ingredient in the medication is povidone. Povidone adheres well to the cornea and conjunctiva and, thanks to its moisture-binding properties, ensures adequate lubrication of the cornea. This reduces the irritation and stinging caused by blinking that occurs when there is a lack of tears, and prevents the consequences of dehydration.
