Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Novatears Omega 3 is a prescription medication for evaporative dry eye disease treatment. The eyedrops lubricate the surface of the eye and aid with better lipid layer stability for the tear film so that tears will not evaporate as rapidly. The active ingredients in Novatears Omega 3 eye drops are Perfluorohexyloctane and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Perfluorohexyloctane is an amphiphilic liquid with very low surface tension and viscosity that is superior for providing relief for dry eyes in comparison to saline liquid. It promotes better tear film thickness and lipid layer thickness. Omega-3 fatty acids are a natural component in human tear film with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the severity of dry eye disease.
Evaporative dry eye disease is a condition where tears evaporate faster than normal, and the eyeball is not properly lubricated because of it. This is due to lack of oil production in the tear film. An insufficient amount of oil in the tears means they evaporate faster. This happens when the meibomian glands on the edge of your eyelids become clogged and are not functioning properly.
Older people get this type of dry eye disease more commonly, and women are more often affected by it than men. It also affects diabetics and people with oily skin conditions more often.
