cytochrome C 0, 675 mg

adenosine 2 mg

nicotinamide 20 mg

excipients: benzalkonium chloride-0, 04 mg sodium succinate hexahydrate sodium sorbitol phosphate disubstituted 2-water sodium phosphate monosubstituted 2-water water for injection

in plastic dropper bottles of 10 ml in a box 1 bottle.

Description of dosage form:

Transparent solution of red color.

Characteristic:

Combined drug that improves the energy metabolism of the lens, stimulator of tissue regeneration.

Pharmacokinetics:

When applied topically, cytochrome C is not absorbed into the blood, the body is metabolized completely. In the destruction of cytochrome C, the same metabolic pathways are involved as in the destruction of amino acids, and heme is cleaved (biotransformed) to bilirubin, which is excreted with bile. Adenosine freely passes into the cornea and spreads to all tissues T1 / 2 adenosine from plasma is less than one minute, metabolized in almost all tissues with the formation of inosine, xanthine and urate, freely excreted in the urine. Ribose is metabolized to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate, then to pyruvate and burned in the Krebs cycle. Nicotinamide is rapidly absorbed and partially metabolized to nicotinic acid. Both of these compounds are converted to N-methylnicotinamide, which is further broken down in the liver. Metabolites and unmodified nicotinamide are excreted in the urine.

Description of pharmacological action:

Cytochrome C plays an important role in the biochemical process of oxidation reduction in the tissues of the eyeball. Sodium succinate is an activator of cell metabolism and respiration. Adenosine, a precursor of ATP, is involved in metabolic reactions of the lens. Nicotinamide stimulates the synthesis of nicotinamide adenine nucleotide (NAD), a cofactor of dehydrogenases.

Indications:

Cataracts of various origin, prevention of cataract development.

Contraindications:

Individual hypersensitivity to the components of the drug.

If the patient wears soft contact lenses, then he should not use the drug, because the preservative can be deposited in soft contact lenses and have an adverse effect on the tissues of the eye.

Contact lenses before instilling the drug should be removed and re-installed after 15 minutes.

Special instruction:
