Retinalamin 5 mg, 10 vials (Geropharm)

Retinalamin 5 mg — 10 Vials, Geropharm

Retinalamin by Geropharm is a retina-specific peptide bioregulator: a complex of low-molecular-weight peptides selected to support the metabolism of retinal cells. It is the targeted ophthalmology product in the line of tissue-specific peptide preparations (together with Cortexin for the brain).

Composition

• Retinalamin (retina peptides complex) - 5 mg per vial, lyophilized powder
• Pack: 10 vials with solvent included
• Administration routes: intramuscular or parabulbar (near the eye), per physician decision

How it works

Retinal peptides act as tissue-specific signals: they support protein synthesis and metabolic activity in retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptor cells. The principle is the same as Cortexin for cerebral tissue - restoring the "working program" of a specific cell type under degenerative or ischemic stress.

Where Retinalamin is used

• Retinal dystrophies (including age-related macular degeneration protocols)
• Diabetic retinopathy - metabolic support of retinal tissue
• Myopia-related retinal changes (progressive myopia in children and adults)
• Retinal recovery after laser and surgical interventions
• Central and peripheral chorioretinal dystrophies

Administration

• The powder is dissolved with the included solvent before use
• Intramuscular: standard adult course is 10 mg (2 vials) daily for 10 days
• Parabulbar: near-eye administration in ophthalmology settings, by ophthalmologist
• Course and route are set by the physician; repeat courses per specialist plan

Product features

• Original Geropharm product (Russia) - manufacturer of Cortexin
• One of the few retina-specific peptide preparations available
• Used in both adult and pediatric ophthalmology

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to components. Pregnancy and breastfeeding - only under medical supervision. Parabulbar administration is performed only by an ophthalmologist.

FAQ

Retinalamin vs Cortexin - both are Geropharm peptides?

Yes - same manufacturer and same tissue-specific peptide principle, but different targets: Cortexin is standardized to cerebral cortex peptides, Retinalamin to retina peptides. For combined neuro-ophthalmic protocols physicians sometimes use both; each is chosen for its target tissue.

Intramuscular or parabulbar - which is better?

Parabulbar delivers the peptides closer to the target tissue; intramuscular is simpler and more comfortable. Both are validated routes - the choice depends on the ophthalmologist's protocol.

How long is a course?

The standard IM course is 10 days (one vial daily where 5 mg dosing is prescribed, or 2 vials per the 10 mg protocol - per physician). Retinal courses are typically repeated 1-2 times per year.

Can children use it?

Yes - one of its documented applications is progressive myopia-related retinal changes in pediatric ophthalmology, under specialist supervision.

Does it replace eye drops or injections into the eye?

No - it is a systemic (IM) or near-eye (parabulbar) metabolic support, complementary to local ophthalmic therapy. It does not substitute anti-VEGF intravitreal injections and similar treatments.
