What is Catalin (Pirenoxine) used for?

Catalin (Pirenoxine) is an ophthalmic medication used to treat and prevent the formation of cataracts. It operates by interacting with selenite and calcium ions which are associated with the formation of lens cataracts. This can prevent cloudiness and loss of vision. Your doctor may also suggest its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Catalin (Pirenoxine)?

Catalin (Pirenoxine) should be used strictly according to the instructions provided by your physician to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. One drop is normally administered once or twice each day depending on your current health and the severity of your symptoms. To administer the drops tilt your head back slightly, gently pull down the lower lid of the eye being treated, hold the bottle over the eye, and dispense one drop. Slowly close the eye to spread the medication and keep it closed for thirty seconds to allow it to be absorbed. Do not allow the tip of the bottle to touch any foreign surfaces, including the eye itself, as this may cause contamination. It is important to observe the medication before each use to make sure it is not cloudy or discolored as this may indicate contamination. Thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the solution from contacting any areas not being treated or mucous membranes. Ask your pharmacist or physician any questions you have regarding the medication to ensure the correct usage.
