Interaction with other drugs
Nothing is known about the interaction of Vitabact drops with other medications at this time, so consult a specialist before using Vitabact simultaneously with another remedy.
Application of
The treatment regimen assumes the following options:
- In bacterial lesions of the eye, the usual dose for each eye is reduced to 1-2 drops per day from two to six times. When the inflammatory symptoms begin to subside, it is possible to reduce the frequency of application of the drug. With a low degree of inflammation, the drug is used twice a day. The duration of therapy is not more than 10 days.
- Before the operation, the formulation is instilled once with 1-2 drops. If the operation is already performed, then the preventive dose on the first postoperative day is 1-2 drops 3-4 times. Extraction of cataract requires a monthly course of treatment.
Since the bottle is equipped with a dropper, there is no need for a separate pipette. To open the bottle, you need to screw the lid up to the stop. Under this condition, a spike from inside the container will be able to pierce the dropper.
First drops should be instilled in the conjunctival sac of the eye with less pronounced signs of inflammation( so as not to clog the solution).
The head should be thrown back, the sight is directed upwards, the lower eyelid is slightly drawn. The tip of the dropper should not touch the skin or mucous membranes of the eyes.
This is necessary to prevent contamination of the vial.
With the help of eyedrops data, subconjunctival injections and administration directly into the anterior eye chamber are not permissible.
Injection immediately causes Vitabact action on pathogens, and local character. Pyloxidine is practically not absorbed. This significantly limits its entry into the systemic circulation.

Reviews of individuals treated with
Most reviews about the drug are positive. Patients note that drops help well in the treatment of conjunctivitis. Particularly appreciated are the drops of the mother of small children, starting with newborns. About the drops they write that they help to cope with the symptoms of conjunctivitis effectively and quickly.
There are also negative reviews, which indicate that the drug developed a negative reaction, and conjunctivitis increased due to increased sensitivity to the composition. However, such reviews are not many. Among the shortcomings, some users also noted that the drops are not sold in all pharmacy chains.
Examples of
# 1. I constantly suffer from chronic conjunctivitis. After the birth of her daughter, the illness worsened. The doctor prescribed Vitabact drops in combination with other solutions and ointments.
After a three-month treatment, the disease receded. After instillation did not feel any discomfort. Gradually decreased swelling and redness.
I think that the drops are good, but the effect can be achieved by the joint action of several drugs.
To the disadvantages, I would have attributed a considerable price, although the drug is cheaper, for example, Vigamox or Ophthalmoferon.
Pay attention - the price for Retinalamine. How much does the drug in Russia and Ukraine cost?

# 2. In the spring the baby began to suffer from conjunctivitis. I started treatment without a doctor - an ophthalmoferon and an albucid. It did not work out at all. After apparent recovery, the disease worsened again, and even worse. So we tormented more than a week. Finally, we went to the oculist. He canceled our drugs and appointed Vitabakt.
These eye drops do not give the child unpleasant sensations, although they are buried five times a day. After a couple of days, improvements began. Four days later the illness passed. But we adhered to the appointment of a doctor and were treated for ten days. It was difficult for the child to explain why it should be dripped when the eyes are already healthy. But we survived. Two months have passed, but the disease does not return.
As an antibacterial antiseptic, Vitabax is very popular in ophthalmic practice. This is facilitated by the ease of its use and good compatibility with other antibacterial agents.
