Polyvinyl alcohol, a nonionic surfactant, is used as a stabilising agent, lubricant and as an agent to increase viscosity in pharmaceutical manufacturing. In eye preparations, polyvinyl alcohol is used to increase the viscosity and thereby prolonging contact time of the active ingredient with the eye. It is often found in artificial tears preparations for dry eye and in contact lens solutions.
Polyvinyl alcohol is poorly absorbed from gastrointestinal tract, and readily eliminated from the body 5. This drug does not accumulate in the body when administered orally 1. When injected intravenously, polyvinyl alcohol has a half-life of 90 min 2. Intraocularly, in eye drop form, the half-life is 7.2 minutes 3.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
