CYCLOTEARS eye drops would be the first dry eye therapy in the world that incorporates the company’s indigenously developed proprietary self-emulsifying drug delivery system (SEDDS) technology.

Nikkhil K Masurkar, CEO, Entod Pharmaceuticals said, “This novel technology used in CYCLOTEARS eye drops has been developed by Indian scientists at our Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR) accredited research centre. We are also associated with leading eye research institutes across India in the development phase.
