The Innovative Cationic Emulsion for the Treatment of Dry Eye Symptoms
An Optimal Solution for Patients
The First Product Developed From its Pipeline to be Marketed
EVRY, France, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Novagali Pharma, an ophthalmic specialty pharmaceutical company announces the commercial launch in France of its first product Cationorm(R). This cationic emulsion is an innovative approach to treat dry eye symptoms. It has been developed on the basis of Novagali Pharma patented technology platform Novasorb(R).
Dry eye syndrome is the second cause of consultation in ophthalmology. It concerns over 100 million people in the world and 14% of the adults of more than 40 years. Due to a chronic lack of lubrication and moisture in the eye, its consequences range from irritation to ocular inflammation of the conjunctiva and corneal tissues of the eyes. People with dry eye have sandy-gritty irritation or burning in their eyes. In most severe cases, corneal lesions may lead to vision loss. Specific factors such as ageing populations, pollution, air conditioning, extended use of computers, contribute to an increase in the prevalence of the syndrome and in opportunities for the development of more efficient products.
Cationorm(R) brings a true innovation to the patients suffering from dry eye symptoms. The cationic emulsion reproduces the tear mechanisms of action to act on the different levels of the tear film. Cationorm(R) uniquely combines lubricating and hydrating properties, optimal spreading on the surface of the eye, replenishment of the tear film lipid layer and prevention of tear evaporation. The results of clinical study have clearly demonstrated Cationorm(R) advantages for patients: tolerance, long-lasting relief and optimal comfort.
These advantages are based on Novasorb(R), the proprietary cationic
emulsion technology platform of Novagali Pharma. Novasorb(R), is designed
to improve topical administ
