Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Complivit Ophthalmo is one of the combined preparations containing a complex of vitamins, plant carotenoids and trace elements. Pharmacological activity is due to the properties of the active substances included in its composition:
- zeaxanthin and lutein: carotenoids, natural organic pigments ranging from bright yellow to red or orange; necessary for the normal functioning of the retina. They are components of the retinal antioxidant system. Provides eye protection from damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. Zeaxanthin and lutein, located in the retina and lens, protect the photoreceptors of cells from oxygen radicals, which are formed under adverse effects of radiation of various origins on the eyes. With a low content of zeaxanthin and lutein in the tissues of the eye, its ability to resist unfavorable factors, computer radiation, prolonged visual stress is weakened;
- thiamin (vitamin B 1): participates in the coordination of the functioning of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular systems, the processes of impulse transmission along the nerve fiber. Plays one of the key roles in ensuring the normal course of energy metabolism;
- ascorbic acid (vitamin C): plays an important role in maintaining the elasticity of capillaries, regulates their permeability. It has a stimulating effect on the body as a whole, increases its adaptive capabilities, resistance to adverse influences and infections. Activates the activity of the endocrine glands, regulates tissue regeneration, blood clotting, collagen synthesis, the formation of steroid hormones;
- Riboflavin (vitamin B 2) is necessary for carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism, participates in the synthesis of erythropoietin and hemoglobin. Required to maintain normal visual function;
- folic acid (vitamin B 9): antianemic. Required for various metabolic processes that are required for the synthesis of nucleic acids (as a coenzyme);
- pyridoxine (vitamin B 6): participates in the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids (as a coenzyme). Contributes to the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous system;
- cyanocobalamin (vitamin B 12): takes part in the synthesis of nucleotides, is one of the important factors of hematopoiesis and normal growth of epithelial cells; required for the synthesis of myelin and the metabolism of folic acid;
- retinol (vitamin A): participates in the processes of regeneration of mucous membranes and skin. As an integral part of the visual pigment rhodopsin, it plays an important role in maintaining visual function, ensures the normal perception of light by the eye and the activity of the visual analyzer. It has an effect on hemeralopia ("night blindness"), diseases of the cornea and retina;
- Rutoside (rutin, vitamin P): has an antioxidant effect. It is required for redox processes, promotes the deposition of ascorbic acid in tissues and prevents oxidation. Regulates capillary permeability, strengthening their walls, reduces inflammation and swelling;
- α-tocopherol acetate (vitamin E): maintains the stability of erythrocytes, has antioxidant properties; has a positive effect on the functions of the gonads, muscle and nervous tissue. Helps to slow down the aging process of body tissues, takes part in the processes of tissue respiration, has a beneficial effect on the function of the endocrine glands;
- Selenium: is a natural antioxidant. Promotes increased immunity. It has a pronounced antioxidant effect (in combination with vitamins A, E and C), improves the body's ability to adapt under the influence of adverse factors (smoking, stress, environmental pollution);
- copper: participates in the process of melanin synthesis. It is a catalyst for many biochemical reactions. It has a significant effect on the formation of elastin and collagen, plays an important role in the process of hematopoiesis, is a necessary component of iron metabolism;
- zinc: prevents the occurrence of hemeralopia, promotes the utilization of vitamin A by the retina. It is necessary for the synthesis of hormones of the sex glands, insulin, normal activity of lymphoid tissue. With a zinc deficiency, the development of blepharitis, retrobulbar neuritis, cataracts and a decrease in color perception are possible.
Complivit Oftalmo provides a balanced supply of components that are necessary to maintain optimal body functioning. Due to the complex effect of the substances included in Complivit Ophthalmo, it has an ophthalmic and antioxidant effect (protects the eye tissue from the effects of free radicals), improves vision with increased visual stress.
Complivit Ophthalmo can be taken while wearing contact lenses, since it contains components necessary for tissue regeneration, including the cornea, which in these cases is always damaged to some extent.
The compatibility of the components in the tablet is ensured by a special production technology.
