Composition and form of release

Oftalmoferon eye drops are a combination drug. 1 ml of the medicinal solution contains 3 active components:
    Interferon α 2b human recombinant (at least 10,000 IU). The action of the ingredient is aimed at destroying viruses and bacteria, increasing local immunity.
    Diphenhydramine, or diphenhydramine (1 mg). This active ingredient has a powerful antihistamine and anti-inflammatory effect. In addition, it also has a local anesthetic effect.
    Boric acid (3.1 mg). An important antiseptic (disinfecting) component of the drug. This property is necessary when a secondary bacterial infection of the eyes is attached, which often develops against the background of a viral lesion of the organ of vision.
    The active substances act according to the "artificial tear" principle, i.e. moisturize the conjunctivitis membrane, protect the cornea from the harmful effects of the environment.
When instilled, a viscous protective film is formed, which is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the eye. As a result, the contact time of the drug with the conjunctiva increases. This allows interferon to have a therapeutic effect for a longer period.
The auxiliary components are:
    disodium edetate (0.4 mg);
    sodium chloride (2.2 mg);
    povidone 8000 (5 mg);
    Trilon B (0.4 mg);
    sodium acetate (7 mg);
    macrogol 4000 (50 mg);
    hypromellose (3 mg).
Purified water is the basic element of the preparation. Oftalmoferon is released into the eyes in a cardboard box. Each box contains one polymer dropper bottle with a solution of 5 or 10 ml. The healing liquid is odorless and colorless.

Customer reviews about Oftalmoferon

Ekaterina, 36 years old
Wonderful eye drops. In spring and autumn she often suffered from allergic conjunctivitis. Local doctors could not understand for a long time what was wrong with my eyes. After all, the symptoms (redness, burning, purulent discharge) did not respond to standard therapy. Recently I got an appointment with a new ophthalmologist, who prescribed Oftalmoferon. I dripped 2 drops into each eye 3 times a day. I felt relief after the second application. Now everything is fine and the disease no longer bothers me. My reviews are only positive.
Maria, 30 years old
I do not know what I would do without this drug. The fact is that my son (8 years old) is often sick. The common cold is accompanied by conjunctivitis. I tried a bunch of cheap and expensive products. The result was, but the disease came back again with a runny nose and cough. At the next appointment, the ophthalmologist prescribed Oftalmoferon. He explained that the drops not only eliminate the virus, but also increase local immunity, i.e. direct the body to fight the disease. During the day, the redness subsided, and in the morning the son woke up with "clean" eyes. For half a year, conjunctivitis has not returned. Therefore, I recommend these drops to everyone from conjunctivitis!
Dmitry, 36 years old
I work at the computer, I am constantly worried about dry eyes. Tried a lot of eye products. He drank vitamins and dripped various solutions. But the positive effect did not last long. Usually (2-3 weeks) after the end of treatment, the discomfort reappeared. Desperate, I made an appointment with an ophthalmologist. He carefully examined my eyes and prescribed drops of Oftalmoferon. Honestly, I didn't expect any result. And in vain! Literally on the second day, I felt that the pain in my eyes diminished. A month has already passed (after treatment), and unpleasant symptoms do not return. I note that the cost of Oftalmoferon drops is acceptable. I am very glad to have found such an effective and safe remedy!
Alexandra, 40 years old
I met Oftalmoferon drops at sea when I was on vacation. I have never suffered from any ophthalmologic diseases, but here on the fourth day of rest I caught some kind of infection. In the morning I woke up with a terrible runny nose and with sticky eyelids. There was so much pus in her eyes that she could not even open them. The pharmacy recommended buying Oftalmoferon. I applied drops strictly according to the instructions. Unfortunately, the drug did not help immediately, but after about 3 days. At first, pus ceased to stand out, the swelling of the eyelids went away, and then the redness disappeared. In my case, the drops helped, but not quickly. Perhaps the damage to the eyes was severe, and therefore the medicine did not immediately begin to act. Don't know if to recommend the drop or not. To prevent such situations from happening, it is best to see a doctor first.
