SYSTANE® ULTRA LUBRICANT EYE DROPS
Mechanism of Action
In the bottle, the
intelligent delivery
system, consisting
of HP-Guar, borate
and sorbitol, interact
to form a loosely
crosslinked, gel-like
network designed
to enable the
active ingredients,
polyethylene glycol
(PEG) and propylene
glycol (PG), to
lubricate and provide
protection.

SYSTANE® ULTRA LUBRICANT EYE DROPS
Mechanism of Action
As this intelligent
delivery system
interacts with the tear
film, the pH adjusts
to the natural pH of
the eye, optimizing
the viscosity of the
solution.

a comfortable
instillation by

of the drop over the
ocular surface with
less blur.

SYSTANE® ULTRA LUBRICANT EYE DROPS
Mechanism of Action
After the initial
coating forms,
SYSTANE® ULTRA
interacts with
divalent ions in the
tear film, releasing
the sorbitol and
allowing stronger
cross-linking
between borate and
HP-Guar.

This provides an
elastic effect. The
result is a tightly
structured protective
matrix over
damaged areas of
the ocular surface.

SYSTANE® ULTRA LUBRICANT EYE DROPS
Mechanism of Action
By working with
the tear film
chemistry and eyelid
mechanics, this
highly structured
protective matrix
provides retention
of the active
demulcents to allow
for long-lasting
lubrication and
surface protection.
