Characterisitcs

VITADEX^® combines Dexpanthenol, which has the ability to bind high amounts of water, hydrate, and care for the eye, with Vitamins A and E, which provide antioxidant protection.
• Available in pharmacies in a 5g tube.
• Can be used up to 3 months after the first opening.
• Does not contain preservatives.

Benefits

• Improves the tear film and protects the ocular surface.
• The cytoprotective properties contribute to the normal re-epithelialization of the ocular surface when affected by dryness.
• Spreads very well on the ocular surface due to its soft and elastic texture, allowing the eyelids to glide smoothly over the corneal epithelium and conjunctiva.
• Vitamin A, as a key component of the tear film, helps to hydrate the eye. Suitable for use by adults (> 18 years).
• Typically applied 3 times a day.
• Particularly recommended for use at night before sleep.
• Easy to use and transport.
• Provides long-term relief from symptoms of dryness, irritation, and mild discomfort, especially if:
1) Eyes are dry, which can be caused, for example, by Sjögren's Syndrome
2) There is discomfort from air conditioning, wind, pollution, or cigarette smoke
3) Discomfort is associated with contact lens use, prolonged use of screens (computers, mobile phones, tablets), microscopes, or driving
4) Discomfort is associated with pain during diagnostic examinations
