Description
Overview of the medicine
Ractovit 2 mg Eye Drop is an ophthalmic preparation containing a specific vitamin, typically used to provide essential nutrients to the eye, promote corneal health, and alleviate symptoms of dry eyes.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) 2-4 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
No specific dosage adjustment required; use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No dosage adjustment required.
How to Take
Wash hands thoroughly before use. Tilt head back, pull down the lower eyelid to form a pouch, and instill the prescribed number of drops into the pouch. Close the eye gently for a few seconds. Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any other surface.
Mechanism of Action
Provides essential vitamins (e.g., Vitamin A) necessary for the maintenance of healthy ocular surface and vision. Vitamin A plays a crucial role in the proper functioning of the retina and in maintaining the integrity of the conjunctival and corneal epithelia, promoting tear film stability.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Symptomatic relief within minutes to hours; therapeutic effects on corneal health may take days to weeks.
Excretion
Excreted primarily via bile and urine, if significant systemic absorption occurs.
Half life
Not typically relevant for ophthalmic vitamin drops due to minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption expected from ophthalmic application.
Metabolism
If absorbed systemically, metabolized in the liver, similar to dietary Vitamin A.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the formulation
Drug Interactions
Other eye drops
If using multiple ophthalmic medications, wait at least 5-10 minutes between applications to prevent wash-out.
Storage
Store below 30°C, protected from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children.
Overdose
Overdose with ophthalmic drops is unlikely to cause systemic toxicity due to minimal absorption. Local irritation may occur if excessive amounts are applied.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use with caution if clearly needed. Consult a doctor. Minimal systemic absorption suggests low risk, but specific studies are limited.
