Composition of the preparation.

Ottolik - keratoprotector. The drug has a protective effect on the cornea of ​​the eye with a decreased secretion of tear fluid or increased evaporation of the tear film.

Polyvinyl alcohol and povidone have the properties of a lubricant, which reduces irritation and redness of the eye. Covering the surface of the eye, these substances reduce the stress of the surface and prevent the formation of ruptured tear film.

Polyvinyl alcohol has properties similar to the properties of mucin, produced by conjunctival glands. It helps to soften and lubricate (moisturize) the surface of the eye, increases the stability of tear film.

Composition

Povidone + Polyvinyl alcohol + auxiliary substances.

Indications

• feeling of burning, irritation and discomfort caused by dry eyes (including Sjogren's disease);
• as a substitute for tears in the event of a decrease in the secretion of tear fluid;
• dry eye syndrome;
• other conditions requiring softening and / or moistening of the cornea;

Drug Interactions

Polyvinyl alcohol undergoes an esterification reaction, characteristic of compounds with secondary hydroxy groups. It breaks down in strong acids and softens or dissolves in weak acids and alkalis. In high concentrations, polyvinyl alcohol is incompatible with inorganic salts, especially phosphates and sulphates. The formation of a 5% precipitate of polyvinyl alcohol can be caused by the reaction with phosphates. The formation of a gel from a solution of polyvinyl alcohol can occur in the presence of borax.

The solution of povidone is compatible with many inorganic salts, natural and synthetic resins and other substances. Interacts in solution with sulfatiazole, sodium salicylate, salicylic acid, phenobarbital, tannin and other substances. The effectiveness of some preservatives (for example, thiomersal) may decrease due to the formation of complexes with povidone.
