Composition
active substance: hyaluronic acid; 1 ml of solution contains 2 mg of sodium hyaluronate; excipients: anhydrous citric acid, sodium citrate, sorbitol (E 420), water for injection.
Pharmaceutical form
Eye drops.
Main physical and chemical properties
Clear colorless solution.
Pharmacotherapeutic group
Agents used in ophthalmology. Artificial tear substitutes and other neutral preparations. ATC code S01X A20.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The main goal of treating dry eye is to increase the stability and volume of the precorneal tear film. Hyaluronic acid, which is part of the preparation in the form of sodium hyaluronate, has a chemical structure, molecular weight, and rheological properties similar to those of mucin, a component of human tears. Due to its properties, hyaluronic acid moisturizes the eye without impairing vision. Additionally, its ability to bind water allows it to maintain the moisture of the eye surface.
When applied locally, hyaluronic acid increases the stability of the precorneal tear film, has a positive effect on the epithelial layer, contributes to an increase in the volume of tear fluid and corneal moisture, and also reduces the evaporation of tears from the eye surface.
Pharmacokinetics
Sodium hyaluronate is not absorbed after local application. In fact, there are no facts that would indicate that hyaluronic acid can penetrate the cornea. Even after direct administration into the inner chamber of the eye, only immeasurably small concentrations of hyaluronic acid were found in the bloodstream, which were quickly metabolized by the liver; therefore, when using the preparation, the development of systemic toxic reactions is not expected.
Clinical characteristics
Indications
Symptomatic treatment of dryness of the cornea and conjunctiva (dry eye syndrome), including severe forms, as well as after surgical interventions.
Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to any component of the preparation.
Interaction with other medicinal products and other types of interactions
It is recommended to avoid simultaneous use of HYLO-COMOD eye drops with other ophthalmic preparations. If such a need still exists, these preparations should be instilled no later than 30 minutes before applying HYLO-COMOD eye drops. However, eye ointments should always be applied last.
Since, when used locally in ophthalmology, the preparation immediately reaches the target organ and has a physical effect (moisturizing the eye surface) and does not have a systemic effect, no medicinal interactions of the preparation are expected, except for physical interactions with eye drops for local use.
Special instructions
The preparation is compatible with all types of contact lenses and can improve the feeling of comfort when wearing contact lenses. In case of severe or persistent dry eye, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding
Controlled studies of the use of the preparation during pregnancy or breastfeeding have not been conducted.
However, the HYLO-COMOD Forte preparation can be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, since it does not have a systemic pharmacological effect.
Ability to affect the speed of reaction when driving vehicles or using other mechanisms
In individual cases, immediately after instillation, HYLO-COMOD eye drops can cause short-term blurring of vision, even with proper use in usual doses. Since this can increase the reaction time, it is recommended to start driving a car or working with complex mechanisms after some time after instillation, provided that vision clarity is restored.
Method of application and dosage
Usually, 1 drop of the preparation is instilled into each eye three times a day. If necessary, the frequency of instillation can be increased. A significant increase in the frequency of instillation of the HYLO-COMOD Forte preparation (for example, more than 10 times a day) is allowed to be carried out by the decision of the ophthalmologist and under their supervision.
In the absence of contraindications due to the underlying disease, the HYLO-COMOD Forte preparation can be used when wearing contact lenses, since it does not lead to the formation of a film or sediment on them.
The HYLO-COMOD Forte preparation is intended for individual use by only one person. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor individually.
When instilling eye drops, it is necessary to avoid any contact between the container nozzle and the eye or skin.
Method of application
| 1. Remove the cap from the container. | |
| 2. Before the first use of the preparation, turn the container upside down and press the bottom of the container until the first drops appear at the nozzle opening. Now the container is ready for further use. | |
| 3. Slightly tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and strongly and quickly press the bottom of the container: this activates the mechanism for releasing one drop. Thanks to the special COMOD valve system, the size of each drop and the release speed will remain the same, but it will require more force to press than regular drop bottles. Slowly close your eye so that the liquid is evenly distributed over its surface. | |
| 4. Immediately after use, close the container with the cap. After instilling eye drops, make sure that the nozzle of the container is dry. If liquid appears on it, avoid any contact with the eye or skin. |
Note. The COMOD system allows you to release 10 ml of solution, which is approximately 300 drops. For technical reasons, a small amount of drops remains in the container at the end of use.
