Santen Pharmaceutical Sante Antibacterial New Eye Drops

Features

Your eyes may be red, gritty, have eye discharge, and the edge or back of your eyelid may be infected and painful...
Conjunctivitis is often caused by bacteria, while styes are eye diseases caused by bacteria entering the sebaceous glands of the eyelids or the base of the eyelashes, resulting in purulent inflammation.
Sante Antibacterial Eye Drops are eye drops containing a sustained-release sulfa drug (sulfamethoxazole), an antibacterial agent. The addition of a thickening agent (hypromellose) increases the time the drug stays in the eye, enhancing the antibacterial power of sulfamethoxazole. In addition, it contains three ingredients that are effective against eye itching, inflammation, and tissue metabolism. Use it to improve conjunctivitis and styes.
