那他霉素滴眼液是什么药？有什么效果？

In recent years, ocular fungal infections have increased year by year. However, most antifungal drugs are highly toxic, have poor eye penetration, uncertain efficacy, and obvious local irritation symptoms, so they are difficult to be widely used clinically. However, when 5% is used locally, it is well tolerated by the eyes, has no obvious local irritation symptoms, does not cause systemic absorption, and has no obvious adverse reactions. Its administration route is simple, safe and effective, painless and easy for patients to accept.

What kind of medicine is Natamycin Eye Drops? Natamycin Eye Drops is a tetracene antibiotic extracted from Streptomyces. It has in vitro effects against a variety of yeasts and filamentous fungi (Candida, Aspergillus, Cephalosporium, Fusarium and Penicillium). Its mechanism of action is to combine drug molecules with sterols in the fungal cell membrane to form polysterol complexes, change the permeability of the cell membrane, and exhaust the basic components in the fungal cells to achieve the purpose of treatment.

What are the effects of natamycin eye drops? Wang Dongmei et al. et al. 65 pairs of 84 patients diagnosed with fungal corneal ulcers were randomly treated with natamycin eye drops and fluconazole eye drops respectively, further confirming that natamycin has a better therapeutic effect on fungal corneal ulcers than fluconazole. Zhang Yuming et al. studied topical cleansing combined with natamycin to treat fungal corneal ulcers. The results showed that topical cleansing combined with natamycin is effective in treating fungal corneal ulcers.

Finally, the editor of Medical Companion Travel would like to give a reminder to all patients who are currently using natamycin eye drops. There are many rumors on the Internet that better effects can be obtained by increasing the dose of the drug. There are also claims that the dose of the drug can be reduced when the side effects are unbearable. These are all wrong. Only by following the doctor's instructions can the drug itself be used to its maximum effect.
