Aptar Pharma ensures there isn’t a dry eye in the house

Aptar Pharma, a provider of aerosol, injection and spray delivery systems said it has partnered with a “leading eye care company” to develop and launch a new eye drop product

The product is the first preservative free multi-dose eye drop featuring Aptar Pharma’s Ophthalmic Squeeze Dispenser (OSD) in the United States.

The over-the-counter eye drop product relieves dry, red, itchy eyes by providing preservative free eye drops in a multi-dose bottle.

Aptar Pharma has worked with the eye care company to improve patient safety, achieve dosing accuracy and maintain product integrity, according to Aptar Pharma.

The proprietary, sterile, lubricant eye drop formulation, contains 10 ml of solution, equivalent to more than 250 drops and claims to remain sterile for up to three months after first use.

Matthias Birkhoff, vice president business development for Aptar Pharma’s consumer health care division, said: “The launch of Aptar Pharma’s OSD system in the United States is a welcome event for patients suffering from eye irritations as it offers them significant benefits compared with standard therapy.”
