About PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID
PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID belongs to the class of medications called ‘ophthalmologic agents’ used in the treatment of dry eyes. Dry eye is a condition in which there is decreased production of tears by lachrymal glands (tear glands) due to vitamin A deficiency, allergic eye diseases or eye infections. It causes damage to the outer coverings (cornea and conjunctiva) of the eye and increases the risk of inflammation or infections.
PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID is a combination of two medicines, Panthenol and Hyaluronic acid. Panthenol is a component of the B complex vitamins. Panthenol is a chemical substance derived from Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It has regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties and helps to relieve symptoms of dry eye and further damage to the eye. Hyaluronic acid is a complex polysaccharide or sugar naturally found in the eye. It is used as a component in eye drops to lubricate eyes and relieve dry eye symptoms.
PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID is for external use only. You should take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID are application site reactions such as burning/stinging sensation or redness in the eye, increased eye sensitivity to the light, stickiness of eyelashes, swelling of eyelids, blurred vision and watery eyes. These side-effects are usually mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if these side-effects persist.
Do not take PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID if you are allergic to hyaluronic acid or any other contents present in it. Before taking PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID, inform your doctor if you have glaucoma (a condition with increased pressure in the eye), ulcers in the eye, undergone or are scheduled for eye surgery or any other eye problems. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting PANTHENOL+HYALURONIC ACID.

Panthenol is a chemical substance derived from Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5). It has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. Hyaluronic acid is a complex polysaccharide or sugar naturally found in the eye. It retains the water molecules in the tears, thereby providing enough lubrication to the eyes.
