Catalin K 0.005% - 10 bottles X 15 ml. from cataracts

What are Catalin K eye drops for cataracts?

Catalin eye drops contain pyrenoxin,  pyridophenoxazine compound similar in structure to xanthommatin. It works by preventing water-soluble protein in the crystal lens from insolubilization. As the result, Catalin K eye drops help to maintain transparency of the lens, and consequently suppress progression of cataract. This medicine is particularly effective for the treatment of early senile cataract.

Amount: 10 bottles of 15 ml each - the active substance is dissolved in a vial before use.
