Any damage to the conjunctiva and cornea of various origins, as a rule, heals very long, which increases the risk of infection of wounds. To accelerate the regeneration of tissues in ophthalmology, Solcoseryl gel is used, which promotes the rapid restoration of mucous membranes and prevents the development of inflammatory processes.
Solcoseryl gel for eyes - composition
This drug is developed on the basis of the extract (deproteinized) of calves' blood, which during purification is released from any substances (antigens) that cause allergic reactions of the human immune system.
Auxiliary ingredients of Solcoseryl:
- medical water for injection;
- sodium salt;
- thiomersal.
Gel Solcoseryl - indications for use
The drug is a powerful activator of metabolic processes in tissues, promoting the utilization of oxygen by cells, accelerating the absorption of nutrients, eliminating metabolic products. In addition, Solcoseryl gel eye stimulates the process of cell regeneration, as it provides a dense coverage of damaged areas, which is evenly distributed and held for a long time.
The indicated properties are due to the use of the drug:
- erosion and mechanical injuries of the conjunctiva, cornea;
- postoperative recovery due to surgical interventions for glaucoma, cataract extraction, laser refractive change operations;
- chemical burns from alkalis or acids;
- radiation or thermal damage to the cornea from short wave radiation;
- keratitis of a fungal, bacterial or viral nature;
- ulceration of the cornea;
- dry keratoconjunctivitis;
- corneal dystrophy ;
