The polysaccharide fraction of tamarind gum, a product of natural origin obtained from the seeds of Tamarindus indica, is used for the production of a thickened ophthalmic solution having a pseudoplastic rheological behaviour and mucoadhesive properties. Said solution is useful as artificial tear and as vehicle for sustained release ophthalmic drugs. The concentrations of tamarind seed polysaccharide preferably employed in ophthalmic preparations for use as artificial tears, i.e. as products for replacing and stabilising the natural tear fluid, particularly indicated for the treatment of dry eye syndrome, are comprised between 0.7 and 1.5 % by weight. The concentrations of tamarind seed polysaccharide preferably employed in the production of vehicles (i.e. delivery systems) for ophthalmic drugs, having the function of prolonging the permanence time of said medicaments at their site of action, are comprised between i and 4 % by weight.

Les concentrations de polysaccharide de graines de tamarin utilisées de préférence dans des préparations ophtalmiques destinées à être utilisées comme larmes artificielles, c'est-à-dire comme produits destinés à remplacer et à stabiliser le liquide lacrymal naturel, particulièrement indiqués pour le traitement du syndrome de l'oeil sec, sont comprises entre 0,7 et 1,5 % en poids. Les concentrations de polysaccharide de graines de tamarin de préférence utilisées dans la production d'excipients (c'est-à-dire des systèmes de libération) pour médicaments ophtalmiques, et dont la fonction est de prolonger le temps de séjour desdits médicaments au niveau de leur site d'action, sont comprises entre 1 et 4 % en poids.
