"PURITE®... is a microbicide with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and very low toxicity to mammalian cells. PURITE® preserves the solution in the bottle but ultimately, following exposure to light, dissociates into water, sodium and chloride ions, and oxygen. Because these substances are also found in natural tears, the risk of preservative-induced ocular irritation and corneal damage is minimized. PURITE® has been used in Europe and the United States since 1984 with a long history of safe and effective use." |
