Retinalamin eye injections. Reviews, instructions for use, where to buy, what you need, price

Retinalamin is complex consisting of natural retinal peptides. Eye injections, using the drug, normalize the function of the inner ocular membrane, replenish protein peptides, and restore intracellular protein synthesis. According to the reviews of patients and doctors, after the use of the drug, there is a positive trend.

Forms of release and composition of the drug

Retinalamin is an ophthalmic drug related to reparants and regenerants. It contains a complex of natural low molecular weight compounds of the animal brain, the molecular weight of proteins of which is 10 KDa.

Compound: low molecular weight water-soluble polypeptide fractions - 5 mg, glycine as a stabilizer - 17 mg.

Form: 5 or 10 vials of lyophilisate, from which a solution is prepared for subcutaneous or intramuscular injections.

Pharmacological properties

Retinalamin is a retinal protection agent that acts directly on the inner lining of the eye. After the introduction, the mechanism of replacing dying cells, called reparative regeneration, is launched.

And also there is a process of adaptation of retinal nerve cells to an abnormal process. All this makes it possible to improve visual functions in various eye pathologies.

The mechanism of action of the active substance:

• correction of microcirculation in the eye tissue, activation of energy processes;
• restoration of the functional activity of cell membranes;
• normalization and improvement of intracellular protein synthesis;
• regulation of the process of oxidative degradation of lipids;
• suppression of inflammatory processes;
• increased vascular permeability;
• successful healing of damaged tissues.

Retinalamin - eye injections (patient reviews indicate an improvement in vision after their use), which relate to drugs that replace and restore tissue sites that have died as a result dystrophy.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

The active ingredients that make up ophthalmic retinoprotectors have a tissue-specific effect on the retina.

The polypeptide fractions contained in Retilamine are produced from the retina of pigs or cattle. The advantage of drugs with a natural peptide basis is the absence of side effects, a short course of treatment, and a long-term clinical effect.

Retinal disorders have a heterogeneous clinical picture, because the causes affecting the lesion are varied. But there is a unifying factor - this is the death of neurons in the inner lining of the eye due to abnormal processes. It is based on similar molecular mechanisms that lead to the death of nerve cells under the influence of neurotransmitters.

Cells die under the influence of increased expression of glutamate receptors in various types of neuronal cells. In this case, glutamate is considered as a neurotransmitter that facilitates the entry of calcium ions into the cell. The process causes cell damage or death.

Retinalamin activates the reserves of cells in the inner lining of the eye, thus increasing their survival and repair capacity after the retina and optic nerve have been damaged.

It increases metabolism and blood flow, reduces local inflammation, optimizes vascular permeability in the eyes and improves visual function:

• expands the peripheral field of view;
• corrects visual acuity;
• increases contrast sensitivity.

Damage to the retina is influenced by various factors and therefore the models of pathologies are diverse. However, they are all accompanied by the death or damage of retinal neurons.

Retinalamin increases the metabolism of ocular tissue, corrects the functional activity of cellular membranes, triggers the biosynthesis of intracellular protein, affects the regulation of oxidative processes lipids.

The advantages of Retinalamin are tissue specificity, suitability for short-term treatment and long-term clinical effects, no significant side effects,

Retinalamin - eye injections (patient reviews testify to this), which accelerate the process of restoring fiber photosensitivity after injury and inflammation. The composition of the drug is multicomponent, which makes it impossible for physicians to carry out a full pharmacokinetic analysis of the constituent elements.
