Our Manufacturing capabilities are an outcome of years of R&D Excellence driving us towards our vision - 'Preserve the eyes and not the drug'.
This vision led to the launch of an innovative game changer product line under 'Preservative Free Drug' lled in technologically designed bottles,
which needs no preservatives to store drugs.
'Novelia', a technology from France, brought in India for the first time by Eyekare Kilitch Ltd., is the solution that provides the benefit of the medication without the ill effects of any preservatives.
The state of art technology prevents bacterial contamination and avoids the need of preservatives over treatment duration Benefits of Preservative-free multi dose formulations are as under :
No harmful effects of preservatives |
Easy to use, convenient and ergonomic system |
Can be used for 60 days after opening |
Sustainable and more economical compared to unidose or unims |
Blue tip allows better accuracy to deliver drops |
Identical in use to standard multidose eyedropper |
Easy to carry, instead of several boxes of unit dose |
More sustainable, no waste, can be used until the very last drop |
Calibrated drops, precise dose |
One drop at a time into patients eyes |
With tamper evident band |
Dedicated path for the drug flow, does not come in contact with any of the bottle mechanism |
Preservatives are necessary evils in the conventional multi dose eye droppers, as the ambient non-sterile as well as the left over drop exposed to ambience gains entry in the container from the same path as that of the drug flow path contaminating the liquid inside.
Preservatives are added, as mandated, to prevent the growth of microbial contaminants and biodegradation. Thus, preservatives have become a key component in ophthalmic formulations, common among them are:
Benzalkonium chloride (BAC/BAK),
Stabilized Oxychloro Complex (SOC)
SofZia
Though preservatives help keep the containers sterile over the course of multiple uses, various studies have proved that preservatives induce ocular toxicity particularly in long term therapy, multiple applications, aged patients and in pre existing ocular surface diseases, such as :
Owing to the potential adverse effects of ophthalmic preservatives, there is an increasing need for preservative-free ophthalmic products among the consumers.
