To dilute the biological fluid and inhibit the formation of thrombi, an angioprotector called Emoxipin is prescribed. The injections of this universal drug have been widely used in surgical, neurological, endocrinological and ophthalmic practice.

Before the administration of 5-10 ml of Emoksipin mixed with 10 ml of saline. After relieving the exacerbation (5-10 days), therapy lasts up to 28-30 days. In this case, drip intravenous injection of 4-20 ml of the drug in a complex with 200 ml of saline.

For patients with surgery, as well as patients with pancreatitis, the use of emoksipina for droppers (5 ml of medicament per 200 ml of isotonic fluid) is recommended twice a day.

2. Parabulbarno. Puncture is carried out through the skin of the lower eyelid to a depth of about 1 cm, into the space near the eyeball. Dosage - 0.5-1 ml.
3. Retrobulbarno. The injection is made into the inner fold of the lower eyelid, through the mucous membrane to a depth of 1.5 cm. The needle is located at an angle towards the middle of the eye, 0.5-1 ml of the solution is injected.

Injections are performed daily or every 48 hours, for 10-30 days.
