Oftan Catachrom eye drops 10ml

Oftan Catachrom eye drops - is used to treat cataracts. It refers to the group of stimulators of tissue repair, stimulates the metabolic processes of the lens, protects its tissues from damage by free radicals (antioxidant action). Moistens the surface of the eye, exhibits anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effect.

Combined drug that improves the energy metabolism of the lens. Active ingredients: Adenosinum, Nicotinamidum, Cytochromum C.

Cytochrome C plays an important role in biochemical oxidation-reduction processes in the tissues of the eyeball and is an antioxidant.

Adenosine, the precursor of ATP, takes part in the metabolic processes of the lens.

Nicotinamide stimulates the synthesis of nicotinamide-dinucleotide, cofactor dehydrogenases.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction and distribution

When topical application of cytochrome C is not absorbed into the systemic circulation.

Adenosine penetrates well through the cornea.

Metabolism and excretion

Cytochrome C is completely metabolized in the body in the same ways as amino acids, and gem is broken down to bilirubin, which is excreted in bile.

Adenosine is metabolized practically in all tissues with the formation of inosine, xanthine and urate, which are excreted in the urine. Ribose, which is part of the adenosine molecule, is metabolized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, and then to pyruvate, and finally cleaved in the Krebs cycle. T1 / 2 adenosine from the plasma is less than 1 min.

Nicotinamide is partially metabolized to nicotinic acid. Both compounds are methylated to form N-methyl nicotinamide, which is further cleaved in the liver. Unchanged nicotinamide and metabolites are excreted in the urine.

Indications:

• It is used in cataracts of various genesis;
• prevention of cataract development.

Overdose:

Due to insignificant absorption into the blood and rapid cleavage of active substances, no serious reactions associated with excess of the dose were detected with the use of drops. In the case of such reactions, symptomatic therapy is indicated.
