Many viral ophthalmic diseases are complicated by a bacterial or fungal infection. In such cases, a powerful antiseptic with a wide range of action is required. Ordinarily, Ocomistin is prescribed - there are virtually no analogues of this antimicrobial agent. There are only synonyms or generics, before applying which it is important to get a doctor's advice.
Are there direct analogues of eye drops Okomistin?
The antiseptic solution for topical application is based on miramistin at a concentration of 0.01%. Auxiliary substances are only two - purified water and sodium chloride.
Despite the simple composition, there are no direct analogues for Okikostin. If you need a similar remedy, you need to seek the advice of a doctor and choose a synonym or generic.
What can replace Okomistin?
When choosing a similar medication, it is necessary to make sure that it has pharmacological properties similar to Ochomistin. A synonymous drug should have a pronounced antimicrobial effect against Gram-negative and Gram-positive, including streptococcal and staphylococcal, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, including those strains that show resistance to antibacterial drugs.
In addition, okostistin prevents reproduction and life:
- Chlamydia;
- herpes viruses;
- pathogenic fungi;
- adenoviruses .
It is worth noting that, when used, the resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is significantly reduced.
Officially, not a single ophthalmic preparation has been registered in the form of a solution that is completely identical to the agent under consideration for its composition and mechanism of action. But there are inexpensive generics.
Cheap indirect analogues of droplets Okomistin:
- Miramistin. In ophthalmology this solution concentration of 0.01% is used, as a rule, in the postoperative period. This helps prevent hospital infections, including infection with bacteria resistant to most known antibiotics.
- Desmistin. In fact, it is the same Miramistin, only has a different trade name. The composition and concentration of the active ingredient completely coincide.
- Miramidez. The presented solution contains alcohol (ethanol 70%), therefore its use in ophthalmology is extremely rare and in diluted form.
If you could not buy any of these drugs, you can try to replace Okobistin with antibiotics in the form of drops:
- Floxal ;
- Tebridex;
- Vigamox.
