Kerato VitA Ophthalmic Ointment Dexpanthenol 2% Vitamin A and E 5 g

Kerato VitA Ophthalmic Ointment Dexpanthenol 2% Vitamin A and E 5 g it's a ophthalmic ointment without preservatives based on dexpanthenol al 2%, vitamin A palmitate e vitamin E, in 5 g tube. It's a medical device high viscosity that covers the surface of the eye like a film, stabilizes the tear film and protects the eye from dryness. It is used in case of dry eyes, environmental stress, visual fatigue from prolonged vision and mechanical stress.

The dexpanthenol it is the alcoholic form ofpantothenic acid, that is, of vitamin B5, and in the organism it is its precursor: converted into pantothenic acid it enters the synthesis of coenzyme A. It's a molecule hygroscopic, which retains water, and works on a damp surface by hydrating it and forming a barrier effect. Here it is at 2%, and it is the only percentage printed on the package. Dexpanthenol is useful in case of dry eyes and ocular surfaces that need to be hydrated.

The vitamin A palmitate it is the ester of vitamin A with palmitic acid, and vitamin A is not a foreign substance to the eye: it is released by the lacrimal gland and is present in tears in the form of retinol, where it is linked to the maintenance of goblet cells of the conjunctiva, those that produce the mucins, i.e. the fraction that keeps the tear film adherent to the surface of the eye. Vitamin A is useful in cases of unstable tear film and stressed ocular surface.

The vitamin E is present as alpha-tocopherol acetate, which is the shape esterified of the vitamin: acetate protects it from oxidation and gives it a longer life than that of free tocopherol. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant and acts by interrupting the chain of reactions with which a fat is oxidized; in a fat base like this it is therefore in the right place. Vitamin E is useful in cases of ocular surface exposed to environmental stress.

The base is fat, and not by chance: Vaseline, paraffin e lanolin they give the ointment the soft and elastic texture with which it is distributed on the ocular surface, and make the eyelids slide easily on the cornea and conjunctiva. It is the real difference between an ointment and an eye drop: a drop falls at the first blink, a veil of ointment remains. To complete the base there are thecetyl stearyl alcohol, which holds together the fatty and aqueous parts, and thepurified water: the composition printed on the tube stops at eight voices in total.

Kerato VitA it's a medical device in 5 g tube of OFTA line of Bruschettini, and the wording without preservatives it is printed on the front in three languages: on a product intended for an already dry and stressed surface, the absence of preservatives is the feature that weighs most. The only percentage declared on the tube is the 2% of dexpanthenol; for vitamin A and vitamin E the Italian packaging does not print quantities. Those looking for an ophthalmic ointment with dexpanthenol and vitamins, without preservatives, will find it in Kerato VitA the right reference.
