1. What COLIRCUSÍ ANTIEDEMA is and what it is used for
It is an eye drop that contains sodium chloride as the active ingredient. Sodium chloride is in the form of a hypertonic solution, so that when it comes into contact with the corneal epithelium, it extracts water from the cornea. This helps to keep the cornea free of inflammation.
Colircusí Antiedema is indicated to reduce corneal edema (fluid accumulation in the cornea) that can be caused by various factors such as bullous keratopathy (small bumps that form on the cornea), eye surgery (especially corneal surgery), and hereditary corneal dystrophy or Fuchs' dystrophy (disorders in which abnormal material accumulates in the cornea).
