Thealosis - eye dropswhich can be purchased at any pharmacy. Their price may vary depending on the manufacturer. The drug is dispensed without a prescription, it is most often prescribed for pathologies of the organs of vision of an allergic, inflammatory and infectious nature.

Terms of dispensing from pharmacies, drug price

Thealosis - eye drops, the price of which is considered budgetary. The drug does not require a prescription from pharmacies. The price varies between 500-600 rubles.

Composition and action

The drug is marketed in the form of a solution poured into plastic bottles equipped with a dispenser. The active element is trehalose (no more than 3 g per 100 ml). Excipients include purified water, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, trometamol.

Mechanism of action

The solution is completely sterile, so no additional manipulations are necessary with it before use. The drug has a moisturizing effect and has a neutral pH. Thealosis is actively used in ophthalmology. The drug is prescribed to patients with dry eye syndromes and other diseases of the organs of vision.

The drug relieves irritation and burning. Ailments can occur against the background of a long stay in front of a computer or TV, when exposed to aggressive environmental factors (direct sunlight, smoke, dust, strong wind).

Trehalose disaccharide has an antioxidant, protective and moisturizing effect. In addition to the protective effect, the substance is responsible for stabilizing cell membranes, preventing protein breakdown and oxidation of fatty acids. The drug is characterized by a membrane stabilizing effect.

With regular use, the severity of damage caused by aggressive exposure to ultraviolet rays is reduced. Trehalose acts at the cellular level: the substance is able to integrate into membranes and prevent perforation. Under the influence of the trehalose disaccharide, cells retain their function and are reliably protected. The substance protects membranes from the aggressive effects of external irritants.

Thealoz Duo additionally contains sodium hyaluronate. The component provides long-term hydration and protection. You can use the medication with regular lens wear.

Indications and contraindications for use

Thealosis - eye drops (the price, according to reviews, is acceptable), which have an anti-inflammatory effect.

The main indications for prescribing a medicinal product are:

• ailments resulting from the aggressive effects of external stimuli (dry air, dust, pollen, wind, smoke);
• eye fatigue caused by prolonged use of the computer;
• regular lens wear;
• burning, dryness, irritation.

The drug can be included in the complex therapy for the following diseases of the organs of vision:

• infections of a fungal, microbial, viral nature;
• erosive keratitis;
• keratoconjunctivitis;
• glaucoma;
• cataract;
• violation of the integrity of the blood vessel inside the eye.

According to reviews, Thealoz and Thealoz Duo are well tolerated by patients. It has no contraindications, with the exception of hypersensitivity.

Instructions for use

Before using Tealoz for its intended purpose, experts recommend that you carefully read the instructions.

Necessary:

• wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water;
• with the left (or right) hand, pull the lower eyelid;
• bring the bottle to the eye;
• drip 1 drop.

The course of administration may vary depending on the patient's diagnosis. It is strictly forbidden to touch the contact lens or eye with the tip of the bottle. After use, the container must be closed.

With glaucoma

Thealosis - eye drops (the price of the drug is small), which must be used for glaucoma. The main reason for the development of pathology is considered to be a violation of the process of synthesis or outflow of intraocular fluid. There is a lot of pressure on the organ, patients often complain of decreased vision, pain, profuse lacrimation.

Thealosis can be included in drug therapy for glaucoma. The drug eliminates dryness and reduces IOP. Its active ingredients are responsible for blocking the receptors located in the ciliary body. Substances are also responsible for constricting the pupil and releasing the anterior chamber of the organ. With systematic use, the process of synthesis of intraocular fluid is restored.

Application algorithm:

• wash your hands with soap, rinse them thoroughly and wipe them dry;
• raise the eye up, pull the lower eyelid;
• drip 1-2 drops.

Experts recommend keeping a sitting position for 2-3 minutes. You can massage the inner corners of your eyes with your fingers. This is necessary for faster penetration of active substances into the ciliary body. For open and closed glaucoma, Tialosis is used for 7-10 days. If necessary, the course can be repeated with the permission of the attending physician in a week.

With cataracts

The disease develops in several stages. At the initial stage of development, there are no symptoms characteristic of cataracts. Patients do not complain of loss of vision. As the cataract develops in patients, there is a complete or partial opacity of the optical lens - the eye lens. Patients complain of dryness, burning, pain when blinking. Thealosis can be used at the initial stage of cataract development.

The medication, with systematic use, can eliminate the following symptoms:

• fogging;
• photophobia;
• decreased visual acuity;
• "Bifurcation" of objects.

In advanced cases, the use of the drug is impractical. At this stage, the patient no longer distinguishes colors, his pupil becomes white.

Algorithm for the use of Thealose for cataracts:

• wash your hands thoroughly with soap (preferably hypoallergenic);
• pull back the lower eyelid, look up;
• bring the bottle to the eye;
• drip 1-2 drops, close your eyes.

You need to sit a little with your head thrown back. You can apply Tealoz in preparation for surgery. The active ingredients normalize the process of intraocular fluid synthesis and improve tissue trophism.

With conjunctivitis

In the absence of adequate drug treatment, conjunctivitis can provoke the development of:

• keratitis;
• dry eye syndrome;
• blepharitis.

Pathology, regardless of type, lends itself well to medication. With conjunctivitis, the organ becomes the most vulnerable: bright light, radiation from a TV or computer, dust can provoke:

• photophobia;
• sharp pain;
• itching;
• burning;
• dryness;
• hyperemia;
• tearing.

With conjunctivitis, patients complain of severe pain that occurs when blinking. Thealosis can be included in drug therapy for allergic, viral and bacterial pathology. The drug has a calming and regenerating effect. With systematic use, dryness, irritation and pain disappear.

Application algorithm:

• wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water;
• take a sitting position, tilt your head back;
• pull the lower eyelid with your finger;
• drip the drug (1-2 drops).

The course of treatment is 5-7 days. If necessary, it can be repeated after 7-10 days.

With a burst vessel

Thealosis - eye drops, which are prescribed for violations of the integrity of the blood vessels of the organs of vision. The price starts at 500 rubles. Violation of the integrity of the blood vessel leads to hemorrhages. Most often this occurs with sudden changes in blood pressure, injury and physical strain. Also, the causes of the problem are considered conjunctivitis, diabetes mellitus and eye surgery.

Subconjunctival hemorrhage, if left untreated, can lead to loss of vision. Thealosis must be applied immediately after the rupture of the vessel. When the solution enters the white of the eyes, the active ingredients are rapidly absorbed into the conjunctival cavity. With a burst vessel, it is advisable to use drops, and not ointments or gels.

The process of penetration of the main components into the systemic circulation is accelerated if the cornea is damaged. The components that make up Tealoz do not have a decongestant effect, therefore, it is advisable to use the drug and vasoconstrictor drops in combination.

Instillation algorithm:

• wash your hands with warm water and soap, wipe them dry;
• tilt your head back while sitting on a chair;
• pull back the lower eyelid;
• bring the bottle in the eye, drip 1-2 drops.

The course of using Thealose for subconjunctival hemorrhage varies within 4-6 days. The treatment regimen is selected individually, depending on the causes of hemorrhage. Usually, the drug can be instilled into the eye 3-5 times a day.

Drug interactions

According to expert reviews, Tealoz can be used in combination with other drugs. With increased intraocular pressure, prostaglandins, cholinomimetics and sympathomimetics can be included in drug therapy.

In combination with adrenergic blockers and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, Tealoz reduces the rate of intraocular fluid production.

At the same time, you can use a medicine with the following categories of drugs:

• Prostaglandins. Medicines of this type help to restore the functional activity of the eye drainage system. With systematic use, the outflow of intraocular fluid occurs faster. The therapeutic effect of prostaglandins lasts for 8-9 hours.
• Cholinomimetics. Drugs in this category are responsible for reducing intraocular pressure. With systematic use, the anterior chamber of the eye opens, which accelerates the outflow of intraocular moisture.
• Sympathomimetics. The drugs accelerate the outflow of fluid. The active ingredients that make up the drugs affect the sympathetic nervous system.
• Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. In glaucoma, the ciliary body produces a large amount of carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme that is responsible for the synthesis of intraocular fluid. Drugs in this category slow down the process of producing a substance.

Thealosis can be changed at the same time as beta-blockers. Medicines are also responsible for inhibiting the synthesis of intraocular moisture.

Efficiency

Thealosis - eye drops (the price of a bottle is 595 rubles), effective for pathologies of the organs of vision. The drug is marketed in the form of an isotonic sterile solution. It contains trehalose - a substance obtained from the body of plants and animals that can do without water for a long time.

The high efficiency of the drug is due to its chemical and physical characteristics. The component has a moisturizing, antioxidant and protective effect. Trehalose is involved in anhydrobiotic processes.

Upon contact with the mucous membrane of the eye, the active ingredient quickly enters the bloodstream, slowing down the process of protein modification. The substance is responsible for the stabilization and protection of the cell membrane.
