Viruses, inflammations, physical trauma, even normal fatigue - all this has a very negative effect on the eyes. And because it is so important to know what drugs can help them. A vivid example is a drop for the eyes. Ophthalmoferon. Let us consider them in more detail.

They are released in special sterile bottles-droppers, having a volume, depending on the form of release, 5 or 10 ml.

The effect of the drug is based on the properties of the two main active components that make up its composition.The first is the above-mentioned human recombinant interferon (in 1 ml it contains not less than 10 thousand units), and the second is diphenhydramine (in 1 ml it contains approximately 01 g).Together, they provide antimicrobial and antiviral effects, provide local anesthesia, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and immunomodulatory effects, and also enhance the course of regeneration eye tissues.

In addition to the substances mentioned above, the composition also contains auxiliary substances, which, among other things, include:

Therapy may differ depending on which disease is being treated.For example, if it is a dry eye syndrome, then the course is limited, as a rule, to the month.If there is a need to prevent postoperative complications, then the duration of the course decreases to one and a half to two weeks.

If the use of Ophthalmoferon lasts for 5 days or more, and the pronounced effect is still not available or, on the contrary, the symptomatology only increases, it is necessary to consult with the attending physician about what to do next, whether to adjust the course of treatment - or continue to use the data drops.
