Panthegel 7.5 gm

How Panthegel 7.5 gm helps

• Dexpanthenol (pro‑vitamin B5) supports the tear film and the corneal epithelial layer.
• It binds water and forms a smooth, protective coating, which reduces friction from blinking and keeps the surface hydrated.
• With steady use, many people notice less burning, stinging, and foreign‑body sensation while the eye recovers.

When people use it

• Dry, irritated eyes from screen time, air travel, wind, or dry indoor air
• Minor corneal abrasions or epithelial defects as directed by a clinician
• Post‑procedure comfort after LASIK/PRK or superficial treatments
• Contact lens–related irritation (use only as your clinician advises; remove lenses before applying)
• UV/photokeratitis recovery after sun or snow glare exposure (plus sunglasses going forward)

How to apply it (step by step)

• Wash and dry your hands.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them first.
• Tilt your head back and gently pull down the lower eyelid to make a small pocket.
• Squeeze a thin ribbon of gel (or the amount your clinician recommended) into the pocket without touching the tip to your eye, lashes, or skin.
• Close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes to spread the gel. Blink softly.
• Wipe excess from the lid margin with a clean tissue.
• Expect temporary blurred vision. Allow it to clear before driving or using machinery.
• If you use other eye drops, space products by at least 5 to 10 minutes. Gels and ointments usually go last.

What to expect

• Comfort usually improves quickly after application; the moisturizing effect can last longer than a standard drop.
• If your tube contains a preservative, very sensitive eyes may feel mild stinging for a moment. Ask about preservative‑free options if you’re prone to irritation.
• If symptoms persist beyond a few days, or you have trauma, chemical exposure, severe light sensitivity, or vision loss, seek prompt care.

Safety notes

• Do not touch the tube tip to any surface. Contamination can cause infection.
• Remove contact lenses before use and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting, unless your clinician gives different instructions.
• Brief blurred vision is normal after gel use. Wait for clear vision before tasks that need sharp focus.
• Tell your clinician if you have eye infections, recent eye surgery, glaucoma drops, or severe dry eye; your plan may need adjustments.
• Stop and get help for increasing pain, pus‑like discharge, marked redness, or worsening vision.

Common side effects

• Mild, temporary blurred vision after application
• Brief stinging or a “watery” feeling
• Sticky lids or residue along the lashes

Interactions and compatibility

• Space other eye medications by 5 to 10 minutes. Use watery drops first, gel last.
• If you use lubricating drops by day, many people reserve the gel for bedtime because it lasts longer.
• Check the label for preservatives like benzalkonium chloride (BAK). Frequent users and contact lens wearers may prefer preservative‑free options.

Storage and handling

• Store at room temperature away from heat and direct sun.
• Keep the cap tightly closed.
• Do not use if the seal is broken, the gel changes color, or the expiration date has passed.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Available strengths and related formats in the market
