Eye drops Taufon are used as a local remedy to improve tissue trophism in ophthalmic diseases.

Indications of the toughfoot

Appoint Taufon to adult patients for the treatment of dystrophic disorders of the ocular retina:

Release form

Produced Taufon in the form of ophthalmic drops: the active ingredient is taurine, and an auxiliary - injectable water.

The solution is clear, without a specific color. Packed in special drip tubes of 1 ml. A cardboard package may contain five or ten tubes.

Pharmacodynamics

Taufon drops belong to amino acid agents that activate the reparative and reparative reactions in the dystrophic pathologies of the eye retina, with mechanical trauma to the organs of vision, with ophthalmic inflammatory diseases that occur against the background of a sharp disorder in metabolic processes.

Taufon is a substance that contains sulfur in its composition. This allows the solution to create favorable conditions for stabilizing the functionality of cell membranes, improve energy and metabolic processes, maintain a constant composition of electrolytes in the cellular cytoplasm, inhibit synaptic transmission.
