AbbVie Launches Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra

AbbVie Launches Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra

July 25, 2024

AbbVie has introduced two new preservative-free (PF) lubricant eye drop products─Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra. These new additions aim to enhance the options available for eye care with innovative features tailored for user convenience and eye health.

Innovative Features of Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra

AbbVie highlighted several key features of the new products. Firstly, both Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra come in soft-squeeze, multidose bottles, which are designed to be easier to use compared to traditional bottles. The bottles also feature a double lockout system to maintain the sterility of the drops, ensuring safety and efficacy.

The core benefit of these products lies in their preservative-free formula, which is particularly beneficial for sensitive eyes. By eliminating preservatives, AbbVie aims to reduce the risk of further irritation and promote comfort during use.

Moreover, both products incorporate HydroCell technology─a specialized glycerin-based solution that is sodium chloride/salt (NaCl)-free. This technology aids in rehydrating the ocular surface and helps maintain cell volume, contributing to sustained eye comfort.

AbbVie’s Vision for Advancing Eye Care Solutions

In a statement regarding the launch, AbbVie emphasized their commitment to advancing eye care solutions that meet the diverse needs of patients. The introduction of Refresh Tears PF and Refresh Relieva PF Xtra underscores AbbVie's dedication to innovation and improving quality of life through effective eye care products.
