Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Hypromellose and dextran 70, which are the main active components of the eye drops of Slezin, are a water-soluble polymer system.

After instillation of the solution into the conjunctival sac, the active components of the Slezin preparation are not practically absorbed into the systemic bloodstream.
