Pharmacological Properties A combined preparation containing vitamins, microelements, and carotenoids. The pharmacological properties of the preparation are due to the properties of its components. Ascorbic acid regulates capillary permeability, plays an important role in maintaining their elasticity, stimulates blood circulation in the organs of vision, and reduces intraocular pressure. Vitamin C in the body regulates redox processes and has pronounced antioxidant properties, protecting eye tissues from the damaging effects of free radicals. It also has antimicrobial action and promotes wound healing. It has a stimulating effect on the entire body, increasing its adaptive capabilities and resistance to infections and adverse effects. Vitamin B1 participates in the transmission of impulses in nerve fibers. It participates in the coordination of the functioning of the nervous, cardiovascular, and endocrine systems. It plays a key role in ensuring the normal course of energy metabolism. Vitamin B2 participates in carbohydrate, protein, and fat metabolism, and in the synthesis of hemoglobin and erythropoietin. It is necessary for maintaining normal visual function. Vitamin B6, as a coenzyme, participates in the metabolism of amino acids and carbohydrates. It ensures the normal functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems, positively affects physical performance, and protects the function of the nervous and immune systems. Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, contributes to erythrocyte stability; it has a positive effect on the function of the gonads, nervous, and muscle tissue. It participates in tissue respiration processes, affects the function of endocrine glands, and slows down the aging processes of tissues in the body. Vitamin A, as a component of the visual pigment rhodopsin, is of great importance in maintaining visual function, ensuring the normal functioning of the visual analyzer and light perception. It is effective in conditions such as hemeralopia (night blindness), retinal and corneal diseases. It participates in the regeneration processes of the skin and mucous membranes. Zinc promotes the absorption of vitamin A in the retina. Zinc is necessary for the synthesis of insulin, sex hormone synthesis, and normal activity of lymphoid tissues. Zinc protects the eye from damage caused by bright light, ultraviolet radiation, and other forms of oxidative stress. Zinc deficiency in the body is associated with retinal detachment, impaired color perception, and the development of cataracts. Selenium is a natural antioxidant, enhances immunity. Together with vitamins A, E, and C, it has a pronounced antioxidant effect, increasing the body's adaptive capabilities under adverse conditions. Chromium participates in carbohydrate metabolism and regulation of blood glucose levels, ensures normalization of fat and cholesterol metabolism, and increases the sensitivity of tissue cell receptors to insulin. This microelement is of great importance in the prevention of diabetes mellitus, diseases associated with impaired vision, and cardiovascular diseases. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids essential for the normal functioning of the retina, the main components of the antioxidant system that protect the eye from the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation. Lutein and zeaxanthin are located in the lens and retina, protecting photoreceptor cells from oxidative radicals formed by the adverse effects of radiation of various origins on the eye. Low levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in eye tissues lead to weakened eye capabilities against adverse factors, prolonged visual overload, and computer radiation. Copper is a catalyst for many biochemical reactions. It participates in melanin synthesis. It plays an essential role in the formation of collagen and elastin, is a necessary component in iron metabolism, and plays an important role in the process of blood formation. Blueberry anthocyanosides stimulate the synthesis and regeneration of the visual pigment rhodopsin, help increase visual acuity, and improve adaptation in darkness and low light conditions. Indications for use Slezavit is recommended for use in complex therapy for the following conditions: - Eye blurring and fatigue due to prolonged reading, computer work, contact lens wear, long-term driving, exposure to bright light (asthenopic syndrome, visual fatigue syndrome); - Hemeralopia (impaired visual adaptation in low or no light conditions); - Recovery period after ophthalmic surgeries; - Peripheral and central retinal dystrophy (chorioretinal dystrophy); - Primary glaucoma; - Treatment and prevention of cataracts; - Age-related changes in the retina, degenerative processes, refractive anomalies; - Myopia, accommodative disorders; - Treatment and prevention of retinopathies in patients with diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension; - Xerophthalmia; - Keratomalacia; - Prevention of complications during contact lens wear. Dosage and Administration For adults and children over 3 years of age, Slezavit 1 capsule should be taken daily with meals. Patients who cannot swallow capsules must open the capsule, place its contents on a spoon, and mix with a small amount of liquid. The recommended course duration is 1-3 months.
