PRN Pharmacal Adds Ophthalmic Drops to Collasate Family of Products

Pensacola, FL – April 15, 2007 – Collasate® Gel and Collasate Spray have become a trusted part of many veterinarians’ wound treatment regimes. From post-surgical wounds to hotspots, the collagen contained in Collasate products helps sooth and heal wounds and skin irritations. Now there’s another exciting new addition to the Collasate family of products: Collasate® Opthalmic Drops.

Like the other products in the Collasate family, Collasate® Opthalmic Drops contain a medical hydrolysate of Type I collagen. In addition, these drops contain Carboxymethyl cellulose and Tetrahydrozaline. Collasate Opthalmic drops come in a 15 mL dropper bottle and are appropriate for dogs, cats and horses.

This unique combination of ingredients makes Collasate Opthalmic Drops ideal for topical use in aiding in the management of surgical sites, healing for chronic and acute eye wounds, lubrication for the relief of dry eyes and protection against further eye irritation from allergies, inflammation and debris. “Collasate Gel and Spray have proven to be very effective in many wound management cases, and developing a combination product that provides healing and lubrication for eye wounds and eye irritation seemed like a natural extension of this successful product line,” said Gary Cushing, Vice President of Sales for PRN Pharmacal.

The Collasate® family of products also includes:
Collasate Gel 7 g, ideal for post surgery wound management, cuts, burns, scrapes, and more
Collasate Spray with Bitrex®, for dermatitis, lick granulomas, abrasions, burns and more
