AI Technical Summary
Existing Chinese herbal eye drops suffer from problems such as poor solubility of herbal extracts, insufficient process stability, and inadequate aseptic protection measures, resulting in large batch-to-batch variations and easy microbial growth.
The process involves extracting traditional Chinese medicine extracts in groups, combining them with three-stage filtration sterilization and autoclaving, and incorporating carbomer gel matrix and lutein. Nitrogen purging and light-protected storage are used during the preparation process to ensure product stability and sterility.
This improves the solubility and stability of the herbal eye drops, ensuring long-term stability of the product within 24 months and achieving a high level of sterility, thus preventing microbial growth.
