Tag: Stabilized oxychloro complex

Over 70% of ophthalmic solutions contain a preservative, and one modern alternative to harsher options is stabilized oxychloro complex. Known by the brand name Purite, this gentle, oxidizing preservative is used in many popular eye drops to maintain sterility without causing significant harm to the delicate ocular surface.

In ophthalmology, a 2003 study on rabbits showed eye drops containing Purite were significantly better tolerated and caused less corneal damage than those with the older preservative benzalkonium chloride (BAK). Known pharmacologically as stabilized oxychloro complex (SOC), **what is Purite** and why is it considered an advanced solution for maintaining sterility in multi-dose eye care products while minimizing irritation?.
