Pharmacodynamics

Vixipin - eye drops (the patient can study reviews of the solution before the start of the course) with pronounced antioxidant properties that help improve the condition of the tissues of the eyeball if patients have diseases or a tendency to their development.

The medication improves the condition of the walls of the capillaries of the eyeball, prevents their destruction under the influence of various factors. The main ingredient of the composition prevents the development of thrombosis, as it affects the process of gluing platelets. As a result, blood clots are not formed and do not interfere with the blood supply to the tissues of the eye.

The antihypoxic effect of the agent prevents the development of oxygen starvation of the tissues of the visual apparatus. The drug stimulates blood circulation in the affected area, contributes to the saturation of tissues with oxygen and nutrients.

Pharmacokinetics

After the solution enters the cornea, it is rapidly absorbed into the eye tissue and distributed in different chambers. Experts note that a small amount of a component of the composition accumulates in the tissues, which provides a long-term effect, even after the termination of the course.

The substance also enters the systemic circulation, its maximum concentration is reached 1-2 hours after the application of a single dosage. With prolonged use, a constant concentration of ingredients is found in the blood.

The binding of the substance to plasma proteins occurs by about 40-45%, which ensures high efficiency of the drug. After providing a therapeutic effect, the ingredients of the composition are metabolized in the liver and evacuated with the help of the kidneys. A change in pharmacokinetic characteristics is possible when a patient is identified with disorders of the urinary system.

Application

Vixipin is used only topically when certain indications appear. Eye drops help to quickly eliminate symptoms if you study the reviews of those who used their courses.

For children under 18

This is due to the lack of sufficient data on the effect of the ingredients of the composition on the eye tissues of children and adolescents. If necessary, such patients are prescribed other drugs with similar properties.

For adults

Adult patients use eye drops according to the standard scheme determined by the doctor after examination. But the treatment regimen may differ depending on the symptoms and the presence of other complications in the patient.

Course of pathology	Features of the use of funds
Acute course of the disease	In the acute course of the pathological condition, the agent is injected into each eye at least 3 times a day with equal time intervals. A one-time rate does not exceed 2 drops per eye. For 10 days, the specialist monitors the reaction of the tissues to the action of the medication, after which he decides to extend the treatment or cancel the remedy. If necessary, the course can last 30 days.
Chronic form	In the chronic course of the pathological condition, the agent is administered 2 times a day with approximately equal time intervals. The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the manifestations, but in most cases 2 weeks are enough, since chronic diseases are often not accompanied by severe symptoms. 1-2 drops of the agent are injected into each eye.
Recurrent pathologies	With frequent onset of symptoms, therapy can be extended up to 2 months if there is no effect of treatment. Repeat the application 2-3 times per day, inject 1-2 drops into each eye.

The maximum duration of a therapeutic course can be up to 6 months, but such a long-term treatment is prescribed only by a doctor after a diagnostic examination. It is important to administer the drops with care. Experts recommend staying in a comfortable position while doing this.
