About Polyvinyl AlcoholA water-soluble synthetic polymer, A wetting solution for contact lenses, Artificial tears/ Ocular lubricant.Mechanism of Action of Polyvinyl AlcoholPolyvinyl alcohol is a wetting solution for contact lenses. The Polyvinyl alcohol has demulcent action that helps protect the eye from irritation by the contact lens. It is also used in artificial tears employed when there is insufficient lacrimation. It is used to increase the viscosity of ophthalmic preparations and thus prolongs the contact of the active ingredient with the eye and thus enhances drug absorption and activity. It is included in artificial tears preparations used for dry eye and in contact lens solutions. For dry eye it is often used in a concentration of 1.4% with or without povidone.

About Povidone IodineIodine preparation, External broad microbicidal spectrum antiseptic.Mechanism of Action of Povidone IodinePovidone iodine is an iodophore antiseptic and is a microbicidal drug. It releases iodine from its complex and produces pharmacological actions. The released iodine produces antiseptic actions. Iodine is highly reactive with surrounding and has strong oxidizing effect on functional groups of amino acids (-NH 2, -SH etc.), Nucleotides, and fatty acids (double bond of unsaturated fatty acids). Interaction of Iodine with these groups in a cell results in disintegration of the cytoplasm, enzyme denaturation, loss of integrity in the bacterial cell membrane and fungal cell wall .These will leads to destruction of microbial protein and DNA and finally kills the microbes.Pharmacokinets of Povidone IodineAbsorption: It is poorly absorbed through intact skin but absorption is enhanced through denuded skin.Onset of Action for Povidone IodineImmediate.Duration of Action for Povidone IodineN/AHalf Life of Povidone IodineN/ASide Effects of Povidone Iodine1.Local irritation
