| Description | ||||||||||||||||
| Ara Gel is a sterile solution for ocular lubrication. Ara Gel is a long acting eye gel for lubricating the surface of the eye for all patients with ocular discomfort caused by dry eye conditions. This product contains a unique disappearing preservative, sodium perborate. Sodium perborate degrades in water to yield trace amount of hydrogen peroxide, providing an antimicrobial action. The unique antimicrobial buffer system prevents the opened tube from becoming contaminated while avoiding preservative related hypersensitivity reactions. Once instilled in the eye, hydrogen peroxide is rapidly degraded by enzymes present in ocular tissues to yield water and oxygen. |
