alpha-lipoic acid + high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate

Alpha-lipoic acid combined with high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate is formulated as a preservative-free ophthalmic emulsion primarily used to manage oxidative stress and inflammation on the ocular surface, particularly in patients with dry eye disease. Alpha-lipoic acid acts as an antioxidant that can reduce oxidative damage and inflammation, while high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate provides lubrication, hydration, anti-inflammatory effects, and supports tissue repair. The combination shows synergistic benefits improving quality of life scores and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in dry eye disease patients. This formulation leverages alpha-lipoic acid’s antioxidant properties alongside the viscoelastic and anti-inflammatory actions of high molecular weight sodium hyaluronate to enhance ocular surface health[1][4][6].
