One of the natural remedies, allowing to maintain the efficiency of the eyes, even with increased strain, and also used in the treatment of a number of eye diseases, are Okapin eye drops.

Pharmacological action and group

Ocapin eye drops belong to the group of agents with combined action: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, angioprotective and soothing. When using the drug, eye tissues rejuvenate, eyesight improves. A beneficial effect is also observed with regard to the eyelids.

Pharmacological action of the drug is made up of the medicinal properties of its components:

• Honey natural. Being a natural storehouse of vitamins and microelements, natural honey participates in the normalization of metabolic processes in the body and even improves the blood composition - the main agent of nutrients. Possessing strong antimicrobial properties, honey prevents the development of infections and suppresses the vital activity of already introduced microbes;
• Aloe extract. The high content of aloe vera polysaccharides and glycoproteins in the aloe vera juice provides a number of medicinal properties: regenerating, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating. The use of a medicinal plant in the extracts of juice increases these properties at times;
• Riboflavin (vitamin B₂).One of the most important vitamins, as it is a part of most redox enzymes. Lack of vitamin reflects on the condition of the skin, nails, hair, functionality of the thyroid gland;
• Pyridoxine (vitamin B₆).One of the important elements involved in metabolic processes, the synthesis of hemoglobin, adrenaline, serotonin, histamine, lipid synthesis and the formation of glucose. The lack of a vitamin is fraught with headaches, memory disorders, anemia, impaired functionality of the vascular system;
• Lycopene. Carotenoid pigment, which enters the body only with food: tomatoes and products from them, watermelon, dog rose, guava, grapefruit. The therapeutic effect of lycopene is antioxidant, as well as preventing the development of cancer diseases (by neutralizing ionizing radiation);
• Benzalkonium chloride. A synthetic substance with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity and fulfilling the role of a preservative in the preparation.
