The systematic use of Catalin helps to normalize the nutrition of the visual organ and prevent the accumulation and deposition of solid compounds in its tissues.

Release form

Catalin, unlike other ophthalmic drops, is prepared from a tablet and a solvent, which are sold in a set.
Thus, the drug Catalin is packed in cardboard boxes, inside which there is a blister with one tablet (0.75 mg) and a plastic bottle (15 ml) with a solution.
Catalin tablets are bright in color, they are yellow, orange, red. When they are dissolved in an isotonic liquid, the finished drops take on the same color.
The droplet bottle has a dispenser for accurate instillation.

Composition

The main active ingredient of the drug is pyrenoxine.
The preparation contains boric and aminoethylsulfonic acids as preservatives.
In order to prepare drops, the tablet is dissolved in sterile isotonic liquid, which contains: methylparaben, propylparaben, sodium borate.

Act

The drug improves the trophic properties of the cell membranes of the eye tissues and activates metabolism in them. It also inhibits the formation of solid protein structures in the lens.
Indeed, the reason for its change is the transformation of liquid protein fractions (proteins) into insoluble ones, therefore its initial physiological property (transparency) is partially or completely lost.
Catalin, on the other hand, inhibits the development of such pathological processes by inhibiting quinone elements, and this property is a mechanism that slows down the development of opacity in patients with cataracts.
Thus, the use of drops helps to activate the work of proteolytic enzymes, which are able to preserve the natural properties of the structures of the lens, as well as accelerate the process of removing free radicals from the intercellular space, that is, free the eyes from toxic substances.
The maximum saturation of the lens tissues with Catalin occurs 4 hours after instillation, the drug is excreted through the kidneys practically unchanged.

Indications for use

    Senile cataract.
    Diabetic cataract.
Ophthalmologists prescribe the eye drops as one of the leading agents in complex therapy and as a preventive treatment at the initial stages of degenerative changes in the structure of the lens.

Reviews

Olga Konstantinovna, 68 years old:
I used Catalin as soon as my cataract was diagnosed, I used it constantly, as prescribed by the doctor. The cataract did not grow and the vision was preserved. I don’t want surgery, I’m afraid for the pressure and heart, so these drops periodically “settle” in my medicine cabinet. Of the minuses - an unpleasant burning sensation and tingling sensation in the eyes immediately after instillation.
Alexey Petrakov, 49 years old:
I am a diabetic so I have a clouded lens. I am treated by an endocrinologist and an ophthalmologist, Catalin is only one of the means that I instill in my eyes.
So far, in combination with other drugs and insulin, the dynamics are stable. I do not like redness of the eyes and tears after applying the drops.
