Quinax eye drops known to many people, analogues of which will be mentioned below, quite often, doctors prescribe their patients to treat several cataracts. Cataracts are an eye disease that causes clouding of the lens. The consequence of this disease will be a very strong decrease in vision. If the case is especially difficult and difficult, then a person can become completely blind. That is why it is very important for any patient to start treatment for this disease in time, using modern and effective drugs of the latest generation. It is to such medicines that the Quinax drops analogue and the remedy itself belong.
A gift to be appreciated
Vision is a special gift that nature has made to man, therefore it must be protected as a “apple of his eye”. Indeed, without vision it is very difficult to live. Thanks to this ability, a person can see people around him, objects, the world in all its diversity. He is capable, looking in the eyes, communicate with his parents, a loved one, his own children. A sighted person can read books and magazines, learn something new simply by switching TV channels, can enjoy the actors playing on the stage of the theater and the performance of gymnasts or trainers. And just walking along the streets of his beloved city, he is able to see its beauty.
Unfortunately, it happens that vision can fail a person. It can weaken, and sometimes more serious troubles arise. In some cases, for example, with cataract, Quinax comes to the rescue, analogues of which will also be useful in the treatment of this disease. Moreover, you should know that in terms of composition (primarily, the active substance), this drug has no analogues. But there are similar drugs for the therapeutic effect.
Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics
To alleviate the negative symptoms of cataract in all its forms (senile, congenital, traumatic), ophthalmologists offer patients “Quinax” eye drops. Analogs can also be used in treatment, but any of the selected drugs should only be used after consulting a doctor first.
The active ingredient of the Quinax drop is azapentacene - a therapeutic drug that protects the sulfhydryl protein groups of the lens from oxidation. It also helps resorption of opaque proteins in the lens.
In the aqueous humor that fills the anterior ophthalmic chamber, certain proteolytic enzyme compounds are created. And these vitamin drops have a beneficial effect on their activation.
Quinax and lenses
The analogue of Quinax eye drops, as well as the original remedy, must be used for a long period of time. Even if the patient is very quickly significantly improved, no qualified specialist will recommend interrupting treatment.
If patients use contact lenses to improve vision, the doctor should advise them to use Quinax exclusively with lenses removed. And you can install them back about a quarter of an hour after the use of the drug.
After the eyes have been instilled, the bottle must be closed, and quite tightly. In no case is it recommended to touch the diseased eye with the tip of a dropper in order to avoid microbial contamination of the contents of the vial.
Substitutes
As mentioned earlier, the same drugs for Quinax have not yet been released with the same active substance. But there is an opportunity to find analogues for Quinax eye drops regarding the effect on the body. These include the following drugs:
- Taufon;
- Oftan Katahrom;
- "Strix forte";
- "Catalin" and several others.
And they are all good when applied correctly. The main thing is to strictly adhere to the doctor's prescriptions.
In some patients, the clarity of vision may decrease for a short period of time. In this case, they should refrain from working with complex equipment (such as machine tools) or driving a car. That is, all equipment, the interaction with which requires a clear vision, immediately after getting the drug in the eyes should be "put aside."
Side effects
According to the instructions for the drug, there were absolutely no side effects. Significant consequences or cases of overdose during the use of the drug were also not identified.
However, according to some reviews of patients who have been using this drug for some time, they felt a short-lived and weak burning sensation in the eyes. After a few minutes, everything went away. Very rarely, allergic reactions occurred, which were expressed in the form of urticaria, itching, or normal redness of the skin.
In their reviews, patients who used drops, the analogues of which are varied, but certainly recommended for use, say that at the very beginning of the use of the drug, some blurred vision may be observed, but it reversibly and very quickly stops. Many users recommend Quinax (eye drops).

It is recommended to instill in the eyes from three to five times a day, 1-2 drops of the solution.
