Cataract leads to a significant deterioration in the patient's vision. Because of the disease, the lens becomes clouded.

Vitafakol is used to eliminate this phenomenon. It is considered an ophthalmic medicine of local action for the treatment and prevention of cataracts.

Pharmacological action of

Vitafakol is a combined preparation. In ophthalmic practice is only a local application. The effectiveness of the drug is achieved by combining the elements: cytochrome C, sodium succinate, adenosine, nicotinamide. The main thrust of the drug is to stimulate energy processes, especially in the lens. Improved metabolism significantly reduces the risk of cataracts.

Cataract is accompanied by a complete or partial change in the capsule of the lens. This greatly worsens, blunted vision. The main difficulty of treating cataracts is its chronic form, mainly removal is performed surgically.

The image shows the difference between a normal eye and an organ affected by cataract:

Due to the stimulation of metabolic processes and the release of new energy, the lens is able to regenerate. Then the turbidity is removed, which leads to better vision. The drug is used in a local form, by digesting into the orbit.

Sodium succinate	This compound, which has a wide range of effects on the body, is contained in an amount of 0.6 mg. It helps to eliminate free radicals, stimulates antioxidant defense, metabolic processes on the eye socket and skin also improve. Stimulates improved blood circulation at the level of microcirculation( especially useful for the lens).Improves metabolism and protein synthesis
Adenosin	The component takes about 2 mg per milliliter of the drug. The main task of the element is an anti-inflammatory effect. A rapid and effective elimination of inflammatory reactions is observed and the healing of various wounds is accelerated.
Nicotinamide	This basic effective remedy, contained in the order of 10 mg, is an active stimulator of redox reactions of the lens. Improves metabolic processes when interacting with proteins, amino acids, purines, etc. It is noted that the effect of irritation on the lens and skin is not affected, the vessels do not expand after application. In addition, it has an anti-pellagraffic effect, the synthesis of NADP

is also stimulated. Vitafakol is delivered in the form of drops, which should be applied to the eye. The drops are contained in a 10 ml vial.

• Katachrom is a drop for treating cataracts. They are considered to be a group of stimulants that regenerate the restorative function of tissues. Also, metabolic processes are improved, an antioxidant effect is noted, and the surface of the eye is moistened. Additionally removes inflammatory effects and has antimicrobial effect;
• Emoxipine is a synthetic antioxidant that is actively used in ophthalmic practice. Strengthens, protects the vessels of the eye, stimulates resorption of small hemorrhages. Also, blood circulation in the field of application improves, reduces the negative impact of free radicals and excessive illumination;
• Vita-Yodourol is a medicine for treatment, including preventive, cataracts. Improves blood circulation and metabolic processes;

• Crystalline is a drug for the prevention and treatment of degenerative effects in the lens. It is used for cataract and presbyopia. Improves tissue regeneration and energy release in cells. Also, the drug protects against inflammation, microbes, irritations. Hrustalin is able to prolong the life of cells and prevent blunting vision;
• Catalin is a somewhat specific drug that aims at eliminating cataracts of two types: diabetic and senile. Prevents coagulation of proteins, formation of harmful deposits;
