Ophthalmic solutions containing arabinogalactans With a protective activity on the corneal epithelium, particularly suitable for use as arti?cial tears stimulating the recovery of corneal lesions and also particularly useful for contact lens users, containing from 1% to 10% by Weight of arabinoga lactan in an aqueous solution and possible other excipients, among Which tonicity-adjusting agents, pH correctors, buff ers and preservatives, except for benZalkonium chloride. The compositions according to the invention have a virtually negligible viscosity, but are suf?ciently mucoadhesive to assure a considerable permanence time in the area of appli cation. Besides being Well-tolerated, the aforesaid composi tions have considerable re-epitheliZation capacity.

Abstract

Ophthalmic solutions containing arabinogalactans With a protective activity on the corneal epithelium, particularly suitable for use as arti?cial tears stimulating the recovery of corneal lesions and also particularly useful for contact lens users, containing from 1% to 10% by Weight of arabinoga lactan in an aqueous solution and possible other excipients, among Which tonicity-adjusting agents, pH correctors, buff ers and preservatives, except for benZalkonium chloride. The compositions according to the invention have a virtually negligible viscosity, but are suf?ciently mucoadhesive to assure a considerable permanence time in the area of appli cation. Besides being Well-tolerated, the aforesaid composi tions have considerable re-epitheliZation capacity.
