Vet commode

Vet-Komod is a local moisturizing agent for ophthalmological procedures.

The medication is effective in cases of dry eyes caused, among other things, by a lack of mucin. Due to insufficient production of this element by the conjunctiva, the protective film is destroyed, and dry spots appear on the cornea, which can lead to the development of punctate keratitis. The medication effectively copes with the clinical symptoms of dry keratoconjunctivitis (such as burning, dryness, irritation and hyperemia of the conjunctiva).

Indications Vet dresser

It is used in cases of dryness or irritation of the mucous membrane of the eye, associated with intensive and regular work at the computer, and also arising from exposure to sunlight, dust, air conditioning and other factors.

Release form

The component is released in the form of metered drops inside containers equipped with a pump (capacity 10 ml).

Pharmacodynamics

The drug works due to the specific activity of the element povidone. The drug has a moisturizing effect and helps synthesize liquid, weakening its evaporation from the corneal surface.

Povidone, which gets onto the conjunctiva and cornea, acts as a replacement for mucin, performing its physiological functions.

The use of the drug not only reduces the intensity of signs of dry cornea, but also prevents the degradation of the epithelial layer of the visual apparatus.

Dosing and administration

Vet-Komod is used in accordance with medical recommendations. In the absence of other prescriptions, it is usually necessary to instill 1 drop of the medicine into each eye. Often, a maximum of 5 injections of the drug per day is sufficient.

To instill the medicine, use the following scheme: first, open the container (hands must be washed), then turn it upside down with the dropper down and press on the bottom of the bottle to ensure correct dosing (this procedure is performed only before the first use). After this, tilt your head back slightly and pull down your lower eyelid with your finger. Then instill the medicine into this area. You need to slowly close your eyes so that the drops are distributed more evenly. After the procedure, close the container, first making sure that the dropper tip is not wet.

One container can only be used by one person.

The medicine is compatible with any type of contact lenses, provided the ophthalmologist’s instructions are followed.

When using drops, care must be taken to ensure that mucous membranes, skin and other surfaces do not touch the tip of the dropper (as this may lead to contamination of the liquid, which will increase the risk of infection).

Contraindications

Contraindicated in case of hypersensitivity to the components of the drops.

Caution is required when prescribing after diagnostic or surgical procedures of an ophthalmological nature (the medication may only be used under the supervision of a medical specialist).
