Mechanism of action

• Lipoic acid plays a major role as an antioxidant and chelating agent. Directly inactivates free radicals. Reduces lipid oxidation of cell membranes, especially in the nerve cells of the cornea, allows you to maintain the sensitivity of the cornea. Increases endogenous antioxidant potential. Improves endothelial function.
• The amino acids in Thioretin A help maintain the metabolic activity of the eye tissues, which is usually impaired in patients with diabetes. They normalize the function of cell membranes and activate energy and metabolic processes.
• L-proline is one of the most important components of collagen protein – the basis of all tissues in the human body. Maintains connective tissues (sclera of the eye, blood vessels) in normal condition.
• L-glycine is a central inhibitory neurotransmitter that improves metabolic processes. Has a positive effect on muscular dystrophies.
• L-lysine has anti-inflammatory, decongestant, analgesic effects. Increases vascular tone, has moderate immunocorrective and hypoglycemic effects.
• L-leucine takes part in protein synthesis, activates cellular and humoral immunity, increases the function of phagocytes, activates the processes of biosynthesis of amino acids, their precursors and metabolites, and prevents metabolic disorders that occur during stress.
• Hypromellose is a high viscosity polymer that helps to restore and stabilize the optical characteristics of the tear film. Corneal epithelium protector. Has a protective effect in relation to the cornea with reduced secretion of tear fluid.
• Boric acid – provides an antiseptic effect, has buffering properties and is used as a pH regulator in eye drops.

Indications for use of Thioretin A 

Since diabetes mellitus mercilessly destroys almost all structures of the eye (cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve), steadily leading to progressive deterioration of vision and blindness, Thioretin A is primarily necessary for this category of patients.
Also shown when:

• Other degenerative changes in the retina (glaucomatous, ischemic, hypertensive angiopathy, angiosclerosis and neuropathy).
• Macular degeneration
• To prevent the progression of cataracts.
• Hyperopia, high myopia and astigmatism.
• Before and after surgery.
