Working at a computer, using gadgets, polluted environment and low-quality products - there are many reasons for ophthalmological diseases. How do Emoxipin eye drops help? This drug was developed by pharmacists to strengthen the vascular system of the visual organs; with its help, you can get healing from a number of serious eye pathologies. Let's look at the instructions for using the drops, as well as analogues of the drug.
Indications for use
EMOXIPIN is a broad-spectrum drug. It is used in various fields of medicine: ophthalmology, cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery. Diseases for which injections are prescribed:
- cardiac ischemia;
- heart attack;
- stroke;
- angina pectoris;
- pancreatitis;
- peritonitis;
- brain contusion due to traumatic brain injury;
- aneurysm (the drug is used before and after surgery);
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- intraocular effusion of various types of origin;
- keratitis;
- complications in patients diagnosed with myopia;
- the presence of blood clots in the retinal vessels;
- cataract;
- burn, inflammation, corneal injury;
- glaucoma;
- contusion;
- personality disorder.
EMOXIPIN thins the blood, reducing the risk of blood clots in blood vessels, improves the functioning of the heart muscle, helps normalize blood pressure, protects the eyes from bright light (protects from burns). It is used by people who have contact lenses. To minimize eye injury.
Emoxipin's analogs
The pharmaceutical industry produces analogues of Emoxipine drops, which differ in release form and price, but with the main similar active ingredient with the maximum similar effect:
- Emoxipin Akos
- prescribed for complicated myopia, hemorrhages in the eyeball, available in tightly sealed glass tubes with a volume of 5 ml. - Emoxy-Optic
is intended to protect the cornea when wearing contact lenses, eye injuries and burns. - Emoxibel
is prescribed for injuries to the cornea of the eyes, during the rehabilitation period after surgery on the visual apparatus, and for elderly people after a stroke. - Vixipin
is used for eye injuries and inflammatory processes in the cornea. - Cardioxipin
has a protective function of the retina from high activity light, eliminates circulatory disorders in the vessels of the retina. - Methylethylpyridinol
has a protective effect on the retina and blood vessels and is used in the treatment of visual defects (myopia).
The treating ophthalmologist selects the optimal drug individually based on the diagnosis, the patient’s age, the presence of contraindications, and individual tolerance to the drug.
Composition and effect of the drug Emoxipin
Eye drops are available in a 5 ml glass bottle and are a one percent solution of the active substance (1 ml of the finished solution contains 1 mg of methyl ethyl pyridonol). This is a drug of synthetic origin, and, despite such a simple composition, it has a wide range of applications and is highly effective.
The active substance methyl-ethyl-pyridonol is one of the agents that normalize the condition of vascular walls and reduce their permeability, has a pronounced antioxidant effect and helps strengthen the resistance of the body as a whole and its cells to insufficient oxygen. Regarding the use for the treatment of eye diseases, the retinoprotective effect of the substance is of particular importance. The drug is able to protect the retina and other tissues of the organ of vision from the active effects of high-intensity light. In addition, due to its other properties, the blood supply to the eyes is normalized, and existing eye hemorrhages resolve. It can be summarized that the drug Emoxipin has the following effect:
- antioxidant;
- angioprotective;
- retinoprotective;
- antihypoxic.
pharmachologic effect
The drug has the following actions:
- Antihypoxic;
- Angioprotective.
In addition, Emoxipin has antioxidant properties. Blood vessels are strengthened and become more elastic, and, according to obaglaza, the circulation of intraocular moisture is stimulated. The biophysical parameters of the blood improve, the walls of the retinal vessels become stronger. Ophthalmic drops that resolve minor hemorrhages in the mucous membrane and retina should be prescribed by a doctor.
The drug is used not only for the treatment of pathologies associated with the vascular system of the eye. Emoxipine has a vasodilating effect. Due to this, it is used in the treatment of cardiac and neurological diseases. The drug is also prescribed to prevent oxygen starvation of the brain during ischemia. Emoxipine can be instilled, administered via a syringe or dropper.
We carefully study the instructions
The medicine is prescribed by the doctor. The main purpose of drops in ophthalmic treatment:
- retinal dystrophy;
- high myopia;
- severe damage to the blood vessels of the eyes in diabetes mellitus;
- disturbances of blood flow in the central retinal vein and its branches;
- postoperative complications in glaucoma;
- hemorrhages in the sclera, anterior eye wall;
- sunburn of the cornea;
- inflammatory processes of the eyes;
- corneal clouding;
- diseases of the choroid of the organ of vision;
- conical deformation of the cornea.
Emoxipine is prescribed to people who experience discomfort, visible injuries, and painful sensations after wearing contact lenses. The solution protects the eyes from intense light exposure (laser radiation, bright sun). Prescribed prophylactically to patients of the age category diagnosed with cataracts.
The application regimen is drawn up by an ophthalmologist on an individual basis. The course of treatment with drops takes from 3 to 30 days. It depends on the diagnosis, the patient’s condition, and the degree of the disease. Good tolerability and positive dynamics make it possible to extend the course to 6 months, observing the interval determined by the doctor.
The solution for injection is sold in ampoules with a capacity of 1 ml; there are 10 pieces in a cardboard package. 1 ml of the finished product contains 30 mg of the main substance. Administering the medicine through injections allows you to quickly “get” to the affected area. It is widely used in ophthalmology, surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, and cardiology. Instructions for use, injections are prescribed for the following indications, including those listed above:
- stroke;
- circulatory disorders in the brain;
- head injuries;
- brain contusions;
- myocardial infarction;
- angina pectoris;
- obstructive jaundice.
The injections are given by a doctor or an experienced nurse.
Indications
Emoxipin solves the problems of many ophthalmological diseases where it is necessary to activate metabolic processes:
- injury to the visual organs;
- burns of the corneal layer;
- glaucoma;
- progressive myopia;
- hemorrhages;
- blood thickening;
- retinal pathologies;
- inflammation of the corneal layer;
- angina pectoris.
Drops are also recommended for use after ophthalmological operations as a restorative drug. The substance promotes healing and restoration of injured tissue from burns; it is prescribed as a prophylaxis in cases of suspected degenerative changes in the retina. Improving blood microcirculation enriches the tissues of the visual organs with oxygen, which contributes to their restoration and functionality.
The use of Emoxipin prevents the development of cataracts in older people. The drug is also prescribed for cardiovascular diseases, cerebrovascular accidents and blood thickening.
The medicine is prescribed for:
- degenerative changes in the choroid of the visual organs;
- retinopathy in diabetes;
- hemorrhages in the conjunctiva;
- hemorrhages into the vitreous body.
The use of drops eliminates oxygen starvation of the internal structures of the visual apparatus, which contributes to healthier eyes and improved visualization. Reducing the permeability of vascular walls ensures high-quality blood microcirculation, which brings nutrients and oxygen to the visual organs.
Drops are recommended for constant wear of contact lenses.
Improving blood flow helps eliminate and resolve blood clots, which prevents the occurrence of hemorrhages. The vasodilating property of the drug helps eliminate not only ophthalmological pathologies, but also prevents the risk of heart attacks, and also harmonizes the rhythm of heart contractions.
Protection from the harmful effects of solar radiation and lasers is another property of this drug.
After using the drops, an improvement in the condition of the visual organs and the resorption of clots from hemorrhages are recorded. Blood circulation is normalized by restoring the integrity and strengthening of the vascular walls.
Drops are recommended as a prophylactic against retinal hemorrhages in elderly patients, as well as for the treatment of such hemorrhages. Since elderly patients often develop pathologies of a dystrophic nature, Emoxipin drops also qualitatively solve these issues.
Side effects from using eye drops
When instilled into the eyes, the drug in question can cause the following type of adverse reactions:
- pain in the eye;
- burning and tingling sensation.
Negative consequences can occur if the rules for eye drops are violated. For example, dirty hands can become a source of additional infection of the organ, and careless handling of the bottle may well result in serious injury to the eye.
In the event that the disease is localized only on one side, it is extremely important to avoid touching the tip of the dispenser, otherwise the infection can easily spread during instillation to the second eye, which in such situations is often treated only for prophylaxis
Features of Emoxipin eye drops
The drug "Emoxipin" - eye drops, analogues of which will be presented below - has fibrinolytic activity and also reduces the risk of developing internal hemorrhages. This modern drug increases the resistance of blood vessels, increases the resistance of tissues to a lack of oxygen, and also prevents the fusion of platelets.
What other features does the drug “Emoxipin” (eye drops) have? Reviews from patients about it say that such an antiprotective and antihypoxic agent can normalize the circulation of intraocular fluid. Also, the drug "Emoxipin" has a retinoprotective effect. It protects eye tissue, including the retina, from the damaging effects of high-intensity light. One cannot ignore the fact that such a medication dilates the coronary vessels well.
So, to summarize, we can safely say that the active ingredient of such a drug promotes:
- expansion of the eye vessels;
- strengthening the vascular walls of the retina;
- resorption of minor hemorrhages;
- protecting the tissue and retina from excessively bright lighting;
- combating hypoxia;
- blood thinning.
Dosage Recommendations
For patients who have an adequate response to the treatment, the course of installations lasts from 3 to 30 days, depending on the degree of dystrophy or ischemia. Three drops of a 1% ophthalmic solution are instilled into each conjunctival sac three times a day.
If the patient needs long-term systemic treatment and does not have hypersensitivity to the drug, the doctor can extend the treatment course to six months.
In other cases, they resort to shorter-term therapy, repeating it three times during the year.
Emoxipine is administered for the treatment of ophthalmological disorders:
- under the conjunctiva of the eye,
- parabulbar (around the eyeball),
- for the area of the eyeball.
Action of Emoxipin
The drug has an antioxidant effect through its neutralizing effect on free radical complexes. Thanks to eye drops, the chain of oxidative processes at the cellular and tissue level is suspended. Emoxipin maintains the integrity and stability of the most important structures:
- enzymes,
- DNA,
- proteins,
- cell membranes.
The pharmacological drug combats tissue hypoxia. The penetration of oxygen through membrane structures improves and increases. The course of installations significantly optimizes the condition of the vascular walls of the eyeball.
The antioxidant and angioprotective effect on the endothelium helps to increase its elasticity and strength, and reduce permeability.
The smoothness of the inner surface of capillaries and large vessels is the key to normal blood circulation. Sliding along smooth highways prevents the aggregation of cellular elements and their further gluing with the formation of clots and blood clots that block the blood flow.
Ophthalmic antioxidant promotes:
- decreased blood viscosity,
- prevents thrombosis of blood vessels,
- blood fluidity,
- resorption of formed blood clots.
Local treatment significantly increases tissue resistance to oxygen starvation, normalizing trophic processes under stress conditions. Emoxipin is protection for eyes exposed to constant exposure to high-intensity sunlight.
Activation of microcirculation after instillation of eye drops effectively eliminates hemorrhages in the tissue of the eyeball. Penetration of the drug into all parts of the eye is associated with increased histohematic activity of the solution.
Instructions for use and dosage of eye drops
Use the described drug two to three times a day, instilling 1-2 drops into each eye. It all depends on the complexity of the patient’s situation, this also applies to the duration of therapy - the period can range from several days to a month of continuous use of the drug.
When instilling eye drops, it is extremely important to follow a number of rules in order not only to achieve the maximum positive effect from using the drug, but also to minimize the risk of infection and other foreign elements in the eye area:
You must first wash your hands thoroughly and take the bottle with dry hands; to minimize the likelihood of injury, it is better to use a mirror, sit opposite it and observe the degree of approach of the bottle to the eye; You need to tilt your head back a little, carefully pull back the lower eyelid, look a little upward, put your fingers into the resulting “pocket” and drop in the amount of medicine. You don’t need to pull too hard, otherwise the drops may leak out; There is no need to bring the bottle too close to the eye - this can either damage the eye or cause an infection from the second one; after instillation, you need to close your eyes and lightly press your finger onto the inner corner - this will prevent the medicine from spilling out; contact lenses can be put on no earlier than a third of an hour after instillation.
Instructions
Drops are used 2 or 3 times a day. Instill into the conjunctival cavity so that the solution does not immediately reach the cornea. To do this, you need to carefully pull back the lower eyelid so that a “pocket” appears for instillation. There is no need to instill more than 2 drops: the excess solution will spill onto the cheeks. The course of therapy lasts 30 days, but sometimes three days are enough to resolve the issue with eye health. If the drug is well tolerated, the treatment course can be extended to six months. For monthly courses, treatment is carried out 2 or 3 times a year.
Mixing Emoxipin with other medicinal substances in one bottle or syringe is unacceptable.
If the therapeutic regimen includes the use of other eye drops, then the interval between instillations should be at least 15 minutes. During this time, the medicine will have time to penetrate the eye tissue.
Rules for instillation of ophthalmic drops:
- Do not use drops that have expired;
- Do not use a bottle opened more than 30 days ago;
- you need to start working with drops with cleanly washed hands;
- when instilling, do not touch the tip of the bottle to the mucous membrane of the eye, so as not to introduce bacteria into the solution;
- Before instillation, the bottle should be warmed in your hands so that the solution becomes warm;
- after instillation, you need to close your eyelids so that the solution is evenly distributed throughout the mucous membrane;
- to prevent leakage from the eyes, you need to carefully press the inner edge of the eyelid with your finger;
- After instillation, the bottle is closed and placed on the side wall of the refrigerator.
What to do if pain appears in the eyes after instillation? These temporary symptoms of discomfort will go away on their own after some time. Emoxipine for the eyes is well tolerated, without complications or significant side effects.
While using Emoxipin drops, you should not wear contact lenses.
However, the medicine also has contraindications:
- individual intolerance;
- pregnancy/lactation;
- age up to 18+.
If the components of the medicine are not suitable for any reason, you need to choose a replacement. Let's consider analogues of Emoxipin produced in Russia and abroad.
Methods of administering medication by injection
The attending physician decides how to administer the drug. There are several ways:
- Intravenously. Administer with sodium chloride solution at an average speed of 30 drops per minute 1 to 3 times a day. Duration - from 5 to 15 days: depends on the nature of the disease, stage, condition of the patient, individual perception.
- Intramuscularly. The course lasts from a week to a month.
- Subconjunctival. The conjunctiva is first anesthetized. Afterwards, an injection is made using an insulin syringe (it has a very thin needle). The procedure requires a highly qualified specialist. He makes sure that the needle passes along the oblique without touching the sclera. The conjunctiva itself is pulled back with tweezers.
- Parabulbar. The needle is inserted through the skin of the lower eyelid to a centimeter depth towards the middle of the eye. The procedure is painful, but necessary in the treatment of acute inflammation of the eyeball with rapid progression.
- Retrobulbar. The length of the needle for this procedure is 4.5 cm. It is inserted through the skin at the edge of the orbit and slightly moved beyond the edge of the eye.
Injections, regardless of type, should be carried out by experienced specialists in a hospital setting. In parallel with the injections, blood pressure is measured and blood clotting tests are performed.
With the help of injections, the substance reaches its target faster, triggers tissue repair processes, forces local immunity to work, getting rid of the disease.
Compound
The drug Vixipin is a universal antioxidant with an improved formula.
The basis of the composition is Methylethylpyridinol hydrochloride (1 ml of medicine contains 100 mg).
For high-quality absorption of the active ingredient, the following is added to the medicine:
- hydroxypropyl betadex (20.00 mg/1 ml);
- sodium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (0.36 mg/1 ml);
- disodium edetate dihydrate (0.20 mg/1 ml);
- sodium benzoate (2.00 mg/1 ml);
- sodium hyaluronate (1.80 mg/1 ml);
- potassium dihydrogen phosphate (10.80 mg/1 ml).
The Solopharm company produces Vixipin in 3 forms:
- Unidose (0.5 ml polypropylene tubes);
- delta (10 ml polymer bottle);
- multidose (5 ml glass bottle is equipped with a flight stop, which makes it easier to measure a single instillation dose).
Regardless of the type of packaging, the drug is packaged in a cardboard box containing product information and a diagram of how to open the bottle.
special instructions
Before dropping the drug, notes OglazaRu, you need to get rid of contact lenses and preferably put them on no earlier than 20 minutes after applying the drops. The opened bottle should be placed in the refrigerator, and the shelf life is no more than 2 years from the date of release.
In accordance with the instructions for use, Emoxipin eye drops are used up to three times a day, 1-2 drops. The course of therapy depends on the severity of the patient’s disease and can last from three days to a month. If there are indications and a normal reaction to eye drops (Emoxipin), the doctor may extend treatment to 45 days.
It is possible to repeat a short course of treatment with Emoxipine in the form of eye drops after some time. Treatment can be repeated up to 3 times a year.
The use of Emoxipine is permitted in the form of a solution once a day or every other day.
Vixipin or emoxipin - which is better?
According to the mechanism of action on blood vessels and tissues in the eye, these two drugs are almost identical. The difference between Viksipin is that it is produced not only in 5 ml bottles, but also in the form of miniature dropper tubes containing 0.5 ml. medicinal solution:
Soft bottles are very convenient to use, because... After burial they are thrown away. This packaging ensures complete sterility of the drug and minimizes the entry of pathogenic microbes into it.
The advantage of Emoxipin is its lower cost. Otherwise, these ophthalmic drops have no fundamental differences.

Vasoprotective effect
This property of the drug "Emoxipin" is expressed in the ability to increase the strength, elasticity and smoothness of vascular walls. At the same time, their permeability decreases. Due to the smoothness of the surface of the vessels, the “gluing” of blood elements is reduced and their attachment to the venous and arterial walls is prevented. This, in turn, provides the antiplatelet property of the drug. Thanks to the described effect, there is an improvement in blood fluidity - its viscosity decreases. In addition to reducing “gluing,” Emoxipin helps accelerate the resorption of blood clots. By reducing permeability, hemorrhages are prevented. Against the background of cardiac pathologies, the drug "Emoxipin" has a vasodilating effect, localizing and limiting the focus of a heart attack. The medicine helps to strengthen contractions and normalize impulse transmission, preventing disturbances in heart rhythm. In general, the drug increases the resistance of body tissues to oxygen deficiency and circulatory failure.
Application
The product is used for:
- diseases of the circulatory system;
- intraocular hemorrhages;
- retinal pathologies;
- cataracts;
- glaucoma;
- other ophthalmological diseases.
In addition to ophthalmology, the drug is widely used in neurology and cardiology to address issues of vascular and circulatory conditions.
The medicinal formula helps restore and strengthen vascular walls, protects the visual organs from pathological changes. The medicine also acts on cell membranes, activates blood microcirculation, and thins viscous thick blood.
Emoxipin for the eyes eliminates circulatory failure and saturates tissues with oxygen, and also contributes to the development of tissue resistance to oxygen deficiency and circulatory failure.
Positive aspects of Emoxipin:
- forms the resistance of the visual organs to the adverse effects of the environment;
- stimulates and activates metabolic processes in tissues;
- promotes the resorption of hemorrhages, adhesions, scars and hematomas;
- controls redox processes;
- blocks the growth of free radicals.
The drug formula also blocks the synthesis of cells responsible for the development and spread of inflammatory processes in tissues.
Contraindications
Emoxipine should not be taken:
- children under 18 years of age;
- pregnant and breastfeeding women;
- for allergy sufferers;
- people with individual intolerance to any component included in the medicine.
From the first minutes after taking it, you need to listen to your body. Many patients immediately felt a burning sensation when the drug hit them. The manufacturer warns: from a few seconds to three minutes is considered normal. If the burning sensation lasts longer than the specified time, you should consult a doctor for advice.
Increased pressure, tissue compaction, drowsiness, itching are signs of individual intolerance. Do not torment your body with additional endurance tests - seek advice from an experienced specialist.
Bottom line
Emoxipin for the eyes is an effective ophthalmological product made in Russia, which has no analogues abroad. With the help of Emoxipin, many issues of an ophthalmological, cardiological and neurological nature are solved. The drug activates microcirculation of blood vessels, promotes oxygen saturation of tissues, resolves blood clots and thins the blood. Drops are also used to protect the eyes from solar and laser radiation, to strengthen the vascular walls of the retina, and to dilate the eye vessels.
The scope of application of drops is wide - from trauma to the visual organs to degenerative changes in old age. Drops should not be used by children, pregnant or nursing mothers. Emoxipine is also contraindicated in case of intolerance to the ingredients of the medicinal formula. In case of existing contraindications, Emoxipine is replaced with other drugs of similar action. An ophthalmologist should select a replacement; prescribing treatment on your own is dangerous by developing complications. Emoxipin drops and its analogues are not prescribed to adolescents; use can only be justified by a greater risk to the health of the visual system.
Use of the drug intravenously and intramuscularly
For injections, use the product offered by the manufacturer in ampoules. Intravenous and intramuscular injections may be needed for pathologies of the vascular system and neurological disorders. Injections directly into the eye are used as part of the treatment of diseases of the organ and are usually carried out once every 1-2 days in a volume of up to 1 milliliter of the drug at a time. The course of treatment can last several weeks, and during the year it can be repeated up to three times if necessary.
According to the instructions offered by the manufacturer, the drug can be used to treat diseases of the following three groups, within which the dosage and method of application of the solution will vary:
- cardiology. In this case, droppers may be prescribed, which will require diluting 10 milliliters of 3 percent Emoxipin in 200 milliliters of saline;
- neurology. For the treatment of neurological diseases, the drug can be prescribed in a course of 10-12 injections with a solution in a volume of 5-10 milligrams. Droppers are also possible, for which the drug is mixed with saline or a 5% glucose solution;
- surgery. Most often, droppers are used, for which 5 milliliters of a three percent solution are diluted in two hundred saline. Depending on the degree of progression or recurrence of pathogenic processes, the concentration of Emoxipin may be increased.
It is worth noting that when the drug is administered as an injection, side effects may occur that differ from its use in drop form. Intraocular injections can result in pain, itching, redness, a strong burning sensation, and even some hardening of the tissue around the eye orbit. Such reactions have only local manifestations and usually go away on their own. The following possible reactions are attributed to intravenous administration of the drug:
- drowsiness;
- increased emotional excitability;
- increase in pressure indicators;
- the appearance of skin allergic reactions.
Precautionary measures
Before using an ophthalmic agent, you need to familiarize yourself with the precautions, which will minimize side effects and ensure an effective therapeutic effect:
- When prescribing several pharmacological products in different release forms, it is recommended to follow this sequence. At the beginning, solutions are dripped into the eyes with an injection interval of 15-20 minutes. Afterwards, gels, ointments, and creams are used at the same interval.
- Before instillation, you must wash your hands thoroughly.
- The tip of the dropper should not come into contact with the mucous membrane of the eye. This will help avoid infection of the organ of vision.
- For better absorption of the medicine by the tissues, the solution should be injected into the cavity of the outer corner of the eye. After this, lightly press the tear duct from the inner corner with your finger. Its retention time is 1-2 minutes.
- After the procedure, the sharpness and clarity of vision is usually not impaired. If cloudiness or other unpleasant sensations occur, you should refuse to immediately perform work associated with increased concentration. You can begin your duties only after complete restoration of vision.
Why are drops prescribed? Indications for use
Considering the aspect of the influence of the described drops, their purpose will be relevant for the following problems:
- a complication of diabetes mellitus associated with damage to the blood vessels of the eyeball and leading to a significant decrease in vision - diabetic retinopathy. This condition requires timely treatment, otherwise blindness is highly likely;
- to effectively eliminate hemorrhages inside the eye. They can occur due to mechanical damage or as a symptom of some disease (atherosclerotic processes, increased fragility of blood vessels, tumors inside the eye, etc.). In such cases, drops are a method of symptomatic treatment;
- therapy or prevention of corneal burns of various origins;
- if complications of myopia occur;
- glaucoma (a disease that causes increased intraocular pressure). In the absence of timely treatment, such a disease causes loss of vision, which is not restored;
- circulatory disorders in the brain.
Also, the use of these drops may be necessary for people who constantly use soft contact lenses - the drug will help improve and normalize blood circulation in the eye.
The drug is indispensable during medical examinations, especially when using light sources of high frequency and intensity - the product will protect the eye from the possible negative effects of such lighting
It is important to use Emoxipin after eye surgery - the drug will ensure the normal functioning of the vascular elements of the organ and prevent their damage. It is worth noting that the product has a low cost and is quite accessible to any patient.
Information about effective use
In ophthalmology, specialists have achieved great success in treating a large number of diseases with eye drops. Among them:
- eye hemorrhages,
- diabetic changes in the microvessels of the eye,
- retinal bruising in older people,
- eye diseases with the development of dystrophic changes,
- severe myopia,
- thrombosis of the main retinal vessel or its branches,
- corneal inflammation,
- cataract, glaucoma,
- thermal or chemical burns of the corneal layer,
- condition after removal of cerebral hematomas,
- cerebral ischemia,
- myopia with complications,
- comprehensive treatment of brain injuries.
In ophthalmology, Emoxipin eye drops have a therapeutic effect after surgery. For preventive purposes, installations of the drug are prescribed to people who use contact lenses for vision correction.
Analogs
Analogs of the drug Emoxipin can be divided into two groups. If there is no prescribed drug or there are contraindications to its use, substitutes are selected:
- By composition;
- According to the therapeutic effect.
A similar active substance is found in:
- Emoxibele, which comes from Belarus and is produced in the same concentration. Therefore, it is excellent as a replacement without changing the dosage.
- Emoxy-optics, available in 5 mg or 10 mg.
- Emoxypine-AKOS. Only the manufacturer differs.
- Methylethylpyridonole-Eskom.
With another active substance, but similar in effectiveness and method of action to Emoxipine, there are several drops for the eyes. ObaGLase believes that the drug can be replaced by the following means:
- Khrustalin;
- Taufon;
- Oftan-catachrome.
These drugs are used for glaucoma and cataracts, so they also have a positive effect on the condition of blood vessels.
Pharmacology
The effectiveness of eye drops is due to the following properties of the active substance:
- prevents platelet aggregation;
- helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels;
- reduces capillary permeability;
- stabilizes the cell membrane;
- reduces blood clotting, making it less viscous;
- improves oxygen utilization.
Hydroxypropyl betadex, which is part of the composition, has an equally valuable effect:
- softens the perception of the active component;
- eliminates pain and severe burning during the procedure.
The combination of the active substance and auxiliary components represents an improved formula of the drug, providing additional properties:
- resolving effect of small hemorrhages in the mucosa and on the retina;
- protection of the retina from intense lighting;
- improving blood supply to the tissues and cells of the eye, which increases the protective function against free radicals.
The cost of Russian-made eye drops is quite affordable, given the European quality of the pharmacological product, which is manufactured using high-tech equipment from the Solopharm company.
The price of one unit depends on the volume of the bottle with the medicinal solution:
- capacity 5 ml – 245 rub.;
- tube 0.5 ml – 17.50 rub. ;
- capacity 10 ml – 150 rub.
The cost may differ in different pharmacies, which is due to regional factors and the commercial policy of the retailer.
Special instructions and compatibility with other drugs
Mixing Emoxipin with other eye drops, gels or ointments is strictly prohibited. For patients taking a complex course of treatment, Emoxipine eye drops are dripped last. The interval between all drugs used is at least 15 minutes.
The solution is well tolerated and does not affect visual acuity and maintains patient comfort. Therefore, during treatment with eye drops, there is no need to establish any household restrictions. The use of contact lenses requires that they be removed 30 minutes before installation.
Before reaching the age of 18, the solution is used only after a doctor’s prescription.
Pregnant women and nursing mothers can use eye drops to treat the eyes only in isolated cases when there is a threat to the visual system.
Price and analogues of the medicine
Almost every modern pharmacy sells Emoxipin eye drops.
Their price can vary significantly depending on a particular manufacturing company. However, on average, you will have to pay about 115-140 Russian rubles for such a drug. If you are not satisfied with the effectiveness or cost of this product, then it can be easily replaced with any other analogue. Among them, the following are especially popular:
- drug "Katachrome";
- eye drops "Taufon";
- means "Khrustalin";
- medicine "Ujala";
- medicinal solution "Catalin";
- drug "Quinax".
You can also find drugs with very similar names in pharmacy chains. For example, such as the drug "Emoxipin Akos". These eye drops and the ones presented above are completely identical, the only difference being that their manufacturers are completely different pharmaceutical companies. By the way, the price of the drug can also vary markedly. More often this is explained by the presence or, conversely, absence of a popular brand.
Possible side effects after using the drug
What side effects may occur after using the drug "Emoxipin"? Eye drops, photos of which you can see in this article, almost never cause any unwanted effects. However, in a number of cases, after using this remedy, patients complained of:
- noticeable redness of the whites of the eyes;
- severe itching;
- pain;
- unbearable burning sensation;
- thickening of the eye tissue;
- headache;
- excitation;
- tearfulness;
- drowsiness;
- hypertension (that is, increased blood pressure).
To relieve an allergic reaction, experts recommend the use of corticosteroids.
Side effects
Emoxipin eye drops have a number of side effects, which can manifest themselves as:
- Itching;
- Burning sensation;
- Edema of the conjunctiva;
- Redness of the eyes.
Such phenomena usually go away on their own after a short period of time.
For deep retinal lesions, the drug is administered retrobulbarly. After an intraocular injection, the same symptoms may occur, plus soreness at the injection site and the appearance of a seal around the eye orbits. ObaGlaza believes that these phenomena also do not require additional treatment and go away on their own within 5 minutes.
It is extremely rare that the drug causes an increase in blood pressure. Therefore, hypertensive patients are advised to pay more attention to their condition, regularly measure it, and if side effects occur, they should consult a doctor. You can select an eye clinic in our catalog.
If, ObaGlazaRu notes, at least one of the listed symptoms appears and the discomfort does not disappear, then you should stop using the eye drug Emoxipin and consult an ophthalmologist. Before use, you should also read the instructions for use to avoid possible complications.

Other ways to use the drug Emoxipin
As mentioned above, the drug "Emoxipin" is used not only as ordinary eye drops. So, before laser surgery, it is inserted directly behind the eyeball. This is done one day before the start of the treatment procedure, and then exactly one hour. After cauterization, it is necessary to use the product retrobulbarly for 10 days in an amount of 0.5 ml per day.
If the patient has a myocardial infarction, then the injection solution “Emoxipin” is administered intravenously for 5 days at the rate of 10 mg per 1 kg of body weight per day. The duration of therapy is approximately 2 weeks. Such treatment is extremely necessary to accelerate recovery processes and prevent possible necrosis.
Features of Emoxipin
Emoxipine is a synthesized drug, that is, obtained as a result of many scientific studies in pharmacological and chemical laboratories. The main component of Emoxipin is methylethylpyridinol, which gives it the following properties:
- has an antioxidant effect;
- reduces the risk of blood clots;
- improves the process of blood clotting;
- strengthens the walls of blood vessels.
With the help of Emoxipin, it is possible to quickly cope with hemorrhage, but at the same time it is possible to develop allergies, itching, burning and hyperemia of the conjunctiva. The drug must be instilled into the conjunctival sac of the eyes for 30 days, 1 drop 4 times a day. If treatment with Emoxipine is carried out in combination with other medications, then it should be used as the last one.
During therapy with Emoxipine, you should stop using contact lenses for a while. In addition, it is recommended to start driving a car half an hour after instilling the medicine into the organs of vision.
Adverse reactions
When using an injection solution, there is a possibility of developing the following side effects:
- nervous excitement followed by drowsiness,
- increased blood pressure,
- the appearance of skin rashes.
The most common local adverse reactions are:
- pain at the injection site,
- itching,
- burning sensation,
- hyperemia,
- compaction of paraorbital tissues (occurs during paraorbital administration of a medicinal solution).
Description and composition
The main active ingredient is methylethylpyridinol hydrochloride, which is also called emoxypine. It has angioprotective properties. After a course of treatment, there is a decrease in the permeability of the vascular wall, inhibition of the formation of free radicals, slowdown of cell aging and improvement of metabolic processes.
The drug has a complex effect on tissues, due to which it effectively protects them from adverse effects and stimulates regeneration.
When used systemically, Emoxipine reduces blood viscosity and platelet aggregation, increases the amount of necessary biologically active substances in tissues, especially in the brain.
Emoxipine reduces the likelihood of hemorrhages, promotes the resorption of hematomas and their prevention, due to the lower permeability of the vascular wall.
When used systemically, Emoxiin dilates the coronary vessels and helps normalize blood circulation in this area. In the acute period of a heart attack, due to this property, the area of necrosis and ischemia decreases. In addition, a positive effect on the cardiovascular system is manifested in an improvement in the contractility of the myocardium and its conduction system. If the patient has high blood pressure, Emoxipine has a hypotensive effect.
The protective effect also manifests itself on brain tissue. In case of ischemic disorders of cerebral circulation, Emoxipin reduces the severity of the consequences, prevents neurological symptoms, and increases tissue resistance to conditions of hypoxia and ischemia.
When applied topically, the drug has retinoprotective properties. They manifest themselves in protecting the eye from damaging factors, including high-intensity light. In addition, Emoxipin accelerates the resorption of intraocular hemorrhages and improves microcirculation of the eye.
Pharmacodynamics
Emoxipine is a substance that has angioprotective activity, can reduce the degree of permeability of the vascular wall and has an antioxidant effect and the ability to reduce cell hypoxia.
Helps reduce blood viscosity and increases the level of cyclic nucleotides in nervous tissue and platelets.
The use of Emoxipine during acute myocardial infarction leads to limiting the development of necrosis and improving the contractility of the heart.
Pharmacological properties
The drug reduces the degree of permeability of the walls of blood vessels. It has an inhibitory effect on free radicals, which determines the antioxidant properties of the drug.
Emoxipine makes the blood less viscous and inhibits the aggregation of platelet cells. Promotes the expansion of the walls of the coronary vessels, due to which, during the acute course of a heart attack, the focus of necrotic damage to soft tissues is limited and does not spread. Helps in the presence of hypertension, because characterized by a hypotensive effect. The medication has the following effects on the body:
- Angioprotective - restores the elasticity and strength of vascular walls.
- Antioxidant - eliminates blood clots, prevents their re-formation, helps to quickly remove toxic substances from the body, suppresses the action of free radicals.
- Fibrinolytic - reduces the risk of hemorrhages, has a positive effect on the contractile function of the heart.
- Antiplatelet - prevents the accumulation of blood elements on the walls of blood vessels.
By improving the condition of blood vessels and accelerating blood circulation, Emoxipin optimizes bioenergetic processes, restores the functioning of the brain, which has a positive effect on memory and mental abilities. The medication restores the rhythm of the heart muscle and improves the passage of impulses.
In cardiology and neurology, the use of Emoxipin helps to gradually reduce the oxidation of free radicals with the simultaneous activation of enzymes that have an antioxidant effect. In the treatment of cerebral hemodysfunction, it helps to relieve signs of the disease, alleviating the patient’s condition.
In case of disorders of brain function, Emoxipin increases cell resistance to negative factors, reducing the effect of hypoxia. The drug helps to correct autonomic dysfunctions and accelerate recovery processes.
Emoxipine analogue eye drops
Emoxipine is an eye drop that belongs to the group of antioxidants and angioprotectors. The main component of the product is methylethylpyridinol. The product has shown good effectiveness not only in research, but also in practical use in various situations.
Emoxipin is an angioprotector that helps strengthen blood vessels in the eyes. It also has an antioxidant effect, helping to neutralize free radicals and prevent oxidative chain reactions. Among the beneficial properties, the most frequently highlighted are:
- Antioxidant . With them, it is possible to preserve the integrity of molecules of biological vital importance (enzymes, DNA, proteins, cell membranes, and so on).
- Angioprotective . Help vascular walls regain lost elasticity, strength, smoothness, reducing permeability.
- Antihypoxic . Helps eliminate and prevent oxygen starvation in the tissues of the eye. The oxygen supplied to this department begins to be absorbed in much larger quantities.
- Antiplatelet . The stickiness of blood cells in relation to the vascular walls and each other noticeably decreases, and the viscosity of the blood decreases. As a result, the process of resorption of blood clots occurs faster, minimizing the likelihood of hemorrhages.
The video shows the use of drops for eye diseases:
When using Emoxipin, tissue resistance to lack of oxygen and blood circulation significantly increases. It also helps protect the retina from the negative effects of intense light radiation. The microcirculatory function in the organ of vision increases. In the presence of intraocular hemorrhages, the resorption effect on them increases.
Emoxipine is characterized by low toxicity when affecting the organ of vision and the body as a whole. It has high bioactivity. Its composition is clearly balanced, which allows the components to be delivered to the histohematic barriers. Therefore, the solution has a beneficial effect on all parts of the eye structure.
Emoxipine is quite popular in ophthalmic practice. It is used for various conditions, including:
- Hemorrhages in the eye of the retinal, post-traumatic, conjunctival type;
- Prevention and treatment of hemorrhages in the scleral area in an elderly group of patients;
- Damage to the blood vessels of the eyes due to diabetes;
- Blood clots in the veins in the retina;
- Cataract;
Cataract stages
- Protecting eyes from exposure to intense light radiation;
- Eye protection when wearing lenses;
- Glaucoma;
- Strengthening blood vessels after any type of surgery in the eye area;
- For inflammation and burns of the cornea;
- As a component in the treatment of diabetic angiopathy and pathological cerebral circulation.
But the remedy is most often used in cases where hemorrhage has occurred in the eyes, for example, due to illness or injury. Due to its therapeutic effectiveness, the drug is also used in the treatment of eye pathologies, both in the context of hemorrhages and degenerative processes.
Practice has shown that the use of Emoxipin for dystrophic pathologies in the retina or diabetic retinopathy; regular use of the medication led to regression of diseases of this type and improvement in the functionality of the visual organ.
The use of the medication is considered justified before and after surgical interventions, as well as when conducting eye examinations using strong lighting or a laser. The drug helps reduce the harmful effects of such factors on parts of the eye. In addition to surgery, the medication is actively used for detachment of the choroid, helping to slow down the process and put it into remission.
One of the most sought-after actions of this remedy is the prevention of damage to the ocular arteries and veins. This helps ensure their normal functioning, and, therefore, nutrition of the eye tissues. the absorption of oxygen and nutrients from the blood increases, which helps strengthen the organ of vision. That is why it is successfully used in the treatment of glaucoma and cataracts.
Despite all the positive effects of Emoxipin, the drug also has contraindications. It is easily tolerated, but is not used for:
- Hypersensitivity;
- Pregnancy;
- Lactation.
For children, use is possible. But under 18 years of age, only an ophthalmologist should prescribe medicine.
The medication is used in several ways, depending on the doctor’s indications:
- Parabulbar, that is, in the area around the eyeball;
- Subconjunctivally, that is, directly into the conjunctival sac;
- Retrobulbar - behind the area of the eyeball (most often with laser cauterization).
It is better to check with your doctor about instillation methods. The product should be used once a day, although the ophthalmologist may change the treatment regimen. In this case, you need to rely on the instructions of a specialist. 0.5 ml is injected into the eye at a time. The course lasts 10 days, regardless of whether the symptoms have passed or not. If the doctor changes the duration of the course, then you must follow his method of therapy. If necessary, treatment can be repeated.
The method of administration should be discussed with your doctor, since different situations may require different effects of the medication. For example, before laser therapy it is better to use the retrobulbar type of drug administration, since the others simply will not help.
When using several local products at once, it is worth leaving a gap of 10-20 minutes between them so that the previous drug has time to be absorbed. If you are not sure about the treatment regimen and its sequence, it is better to consult an ophthalmologist. When administering the drug, make sure that the tip of the pipette does not touch the mucous membranes, eyelashes, or skin. this will help prevent infection of the instrument and composition.
Emoxipin received positive responses from the medication. It has shown high effectiveness in the treatment of eye diseases, as well as post-traumatic hemorrhages. According to some reports, external manifestations disappeared literally on the second or third day of using the medication. The cost of the product varies on average within 240 rubles.
If we talk about negative aspects, patients noted a short-term burning sensation and stinging of the eyes. Some also noted the inconvenient packaging - a glass bottle with the composition, which is sealed with a rubber stopper and an aluminum cap. Accordingly, many, when changing the course with more frequent use of Emoxipin, bought an additional bottle for use at the workplace.
Analogs of this drug are medications such as:
It is worth noting that each product presented has its own contraindications, indications and side effects, and therefore before use you should carefully read the instructions and consult with your doctor about an adequate replacement for Emoxipine.
