Oftolik BK is a keratoprotective drug (artificial tear) for local use in ophthalmology, moisturizing and protecting the cornea.
Release form and composition
Oftolik BK is produced in the form of eye drops without a preservative (in 0.4 ml dropper tubes, 5 dropper tubes in plastic cartridges, packed in laminated foil bags, in a cardboard box 1, 2, 4 or 6 bags).
1 ml of eye drops contains:
- active ingredients: polyvinyl alcohol - 14 mg, povidone - 6 mg;
- auxiliary substances: hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, disodium edetate, sodium hydroxide, water for injection.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The keratoprotective effect of Oftolik BK is expressed in the protection of the cornea of the eye in the event of a reduced production of tear fluid or with excessive evaporation of the tear film.
Under the influence of polyvinyl alcohol and povidone, which have the properties of a lubricant, redness and irritation of the eyes are reduced. These substances coat the eyes with a film, reducing surface tension and preventing tear film from breaking.
The effect of polyvinyl alcohol is similar to the properties of mucin produced by the conjunctival glands: softening and lubricating (moisturizing) the surface of the eyeball, increasing the stability of the tear film of the eye.
Pharmacokinetics
Systemic absorption of drops from the surface of the eye is minimal. As a result of the instillation of Oftolik BK into each eye in an amount of 2 drops, the plasma concentration of its active substances 4 hours after the procedure remains below 10 ng / ml (a possible limit of quantitative determination).
Indications for use
According to the instructions, Oftolik BK is recommended for use in case of burning sensation, irritation and discomfort caused by dry eyes, as a substitute for tears with a decrease in tear fluid secretion, for the treatment of dry eye syndrome and other conditions requiring softening and / or moisturizing of the cornea.
Contraindications
Eye drops Oftolik BK are contraindicated for use in case of hypersensitivity to any of its components.
Instructions for use of Oftolik BK: method and dosage
Oftolik BK is used by instilling drops into the conjunctival sac.
Recommended dosage: 1-2 drops in each eye 3-4 times a day, depending on the severity of symptoms.
Rules for the use of Oftolik BK:
- Wash your hands before starting the procedure.
- Shake the bottle and remove the cap.
- Tilt the head back, pull the lower eyelid down, turn the bottle over, make sure that its tip does not touch the skin or the ocular surface (to avoid infection of the eye mucosa).
- Instill the required number of drops into the conjunctival sac.
- After completing the procedure, close the bottle tightly with a cap.
The duration of the course of therapy is determined by the doctor, depending on the severity of the symptoms of the disease. In the absence of relief for 72 hours, a second consultation with a specialist is necessary.
Side effects
Development of hypersensitivity reactions to the components contained in the preparation is possible.
Overdose
There is no data.
special instructions
Do not use drops if the solution color changes or becomes cloudy. To prevent the risk of infection of the mucous membrane of the eyes during the use of the drug, it is necessary to ensure that the tip of the pipette does not touch the surface of the eye, skin or other surfaces.
You should stop treatment with Oftolik BK and seek advice from an ophthalmologist in the following cases:
- increased pain when using drops;
- deterioration of vision;
- persistence of symptoms of diseases for more than 72 hours;
- persistence of redness and eye irritation.
Due to the presence of benzalkonium chloride in the eye drops, contact lenses should not be worn for 20 minutes after instillation of the drug.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
Patients using Oftolik BK eye drops should refrain from driving vehicles and working with complex mechanisms during the period of therapy.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
Due to the lack of sufficient experience in the use of eye drops during pregnancy and during breastfeeding, Oftolik BK should be prescribed during these periods only if the potential benefit to the mother exceeds the expected risk to the fetus or child.
Drug interactions

- povidone solution: well compatible with most inorganic salts, natural / synthetic resins, other substances; interacts in solution with sodium salicylate, sulfathiazole, salicylic acid, tannin, phenobarbital, and other substances; may reduce the effectiveness of certain preservatives (for example, thiomersal) as a result of the formation of complexes with them.
