Release form

Slezin. Eye drops.

Eye drops in the form of a clear, colorless solution.

Packaging

15 ml - polymer dropper bottle (1) - cardboard packs.

Mechanism of action

Keratoprotective drug. Tears - artificial tears, improves the moistening of the cornea, increases the stability of the tear film on the surface of the cornea.

Slezin contains a water-soluble polymer system, which, in combination with the natural tear fluid of the eye, improves the moisture of the cornea, ensuring the hydrophilicity of the corneal surface due to the usual adsorption processes at the interface of the tear film and the cornea surface. The drug is physiologically mixed with a film of tear fluid, increasing its stability on the surface of the cornea. Reduces irritation symptoms associated with dry eye syndrome and protects the cornea from drying out. After a single instillation, the effect of the drug is maintained for 90 minutes.

Pharmacokinetics

Hypromellose has a high molecular weight (86,000 Dalton) and therefore is absorbed slowly. Hypromellose is a metabolically inert material.

Indications

Dry eye syndrome.

• children and adolescents under 18 years of age (data on the possibility of no);
• hypersensitivity to the drug.

If there is no improvement after 2-3 days of use of the drug, it is recommended to interrupt the treatment.

Influence on ability to drive motor transport and control mechanisms

Due to the possible blurring of vision, during the period of treatment, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in potentially hazardous activities that require high concentration of attention and quickness of psychomotor reactions.

Composition

1 ml contains:

Main active ingredients:

• hypromellose - 3 mg,
