Bepanthene Eye Drops Monodoses are eye drops with sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol, in a package of 20 single-use containers of 0.5ml. This is a medical device that replaces or stabilizes the tear film and gently but effectively protects against the dry feeling of the eyes. They do not contain preservatives and are suitable for use with soft or hard contact lenses.
They are the choice for those who need drops for dry eyes many times during the day, those looking for artificial tears without preservatives, and those who want drops compatible with contact lenses that fit in a bag or pocket. Each ampoule is opened, used, and discarded.
A multi-dose vial is opened and closed dozens of times. To keep the liquid microbiologically safe, traditional eye drops traditionally contain a preservative, most commonly benzalkonium chloride. This preservative works by breaking down the membranes of microorganisms, but this same property makes it undesirable when it comes into contact with the eye surface many times a day, over a long period. In the ophthalmology literature, preservatives of this type are associated with irritation of the surface and instability of the tear film in chronic, very frequent users. This is why ophthalmologists usually recommend formulations without preservatives when dry eye requires instillation several times a day.
There is also a second issue, purely hygiene-related. The nozzle of a vial that is used daily can touch the eyelids, eyelashes or fingers and become contaminated. The single-use container solves both problems at the same time: the contents are sterile until the cap is broken, it is used once and then discarded, so it does not need a preservative system to remain safe. The same applies to contact lens users, where contact of lens material with preservatives is an additional reason to prefer single doses.
As for the composition, hyaluronic acid and dexpanthenol are the two substances that, according to the manufacturer, guarantee hydration, revitalization and care of the eyes. Hyaluronic sodium retains water and, due to its viscosity, remains on the eye surface to stabilize the tear film. Dexpanthenol, or provitamin B5, also has a high water retention capacity and supports the moisturizing action of hyaluronic acid.
Active: sodium hyaluronate, dexpanthenol.
Concentrations: not published by the manufacturer for the monodose format. See the packaging label.
Full composition: no detailed list of ingredients is published on the manufacturer's website. Consult the package leaflet.
Does not contain: preservatives.
Format: 20 single-dose containers of 0.5ml, eye solution.
Application: the number of drops and the frequency of application are according to the instructions on the packaging or the recommendation of your ophthalmologist. The manufacturer does not publish a specific dosage schedule for this format on the product page.
Practically: wash your hands, take one container from the strip and open it by twisting the cap. Tilt your head back, look up, gently pull the lower eyelid and drop into the pocket, without the tip of the container touching the eye or eyelashes. Close your eyes slowly so that the liquid spreads. Discard the container after use, even if some liquid remains. Do not store it for another time and do not share it. Keep the package out of reach of children. If you use other medicated eye drops, leave a time interval between applications according to the recommendation of your doctor or pharmacist.
Both formats are based on the same combination of sodium hyaluronate and dexpanthenol and are declared preservative-free. The difference is the administration format: here you have 20 sterile single-dose containers, ideal for frequent instillation, portability and maximum hygiene, while the 10ml vial is for multiple doses and is usually more economical for steady, moderate daily use at the same point.
Yes. The manufacturer states that they are suitable for use with soft or hard contact lenses. For the steps in your case, follow the instructions on the packaging or the recommendation of your ophthalmologist.
No specific frequency is published by the manufacturer for the monodoses. Use them according to the instructions on the packaging or as advised by your ophthalmologist. The monodose format is designed to withstand frequent use.
The container is intended for a single use. After opening, it is discarded, even if there is excess liquid. Without a preservative, an opened container does not remain sterile. For any different instruction, see the leaflet.
The absence of preservatives is a reason why many women prefer the monodoses during this period, as dry eye is common due to hormonal changes. However, discuss this first with your doctor or pharmacist.
No age limit is stated by the manufacturer. In children, do not administer eye drops without a pediatrician or ophthalmologist's recommendation.
Without delay, if you experience eye pain, blurred or reduced vision, severe redness, purulent or sticky discharge, after an injury or chemical exposure, or if you have a persistent foreign body sensation. Also if dryness does not improve despite the use of lubricant drops.
No. This is a medical device with a lubricating and moisturizing action, not a drug. It does not contain antibiotic, cortisone or antihistamine and does not replace treatment for conjunctivitis, allergy, glaucoma or infection. If you have been prescribed lubricating eye drops, continue as directed and ask before adding anything else.
At the temperature and conditions stated on the packaging, out of reach of children. Keep unused containers in their pouch or box until ready for use.
