Takmide Eye Drops are designed to offer a complete solution to the case of Bacterial invasion by concatenating anti-bacterial, anti-histamine and lubricant in a single product.

Sulphacetamide Sodium: Being the main component in Takmide Eye Drops, Sulphacetamide exerts inhibitory effects on the dihydropteroate synthase pathway that catalyses the production of foliate, a necessary component to synthesize DNA , RNA and cell division thus implements the bacteriostatic effect on the growth of invading bacteria.

Chlorpheniramine Maleate blocks the Histamine receptors that mediates the allergic responses, and stimulates vasodilatation, vascular permeability and itching or pain in the eyes.

Hydroxy-propyl-methyl-cellulose (HPMC): Takmide contains HPMC, as a semi synthetic substitute for tear-film, having muco-adhesive properties that acts to swell and absorb water, thereby expanding the thickness of the tear-film therefore results in extended time presence of the constituents in Takmide Eye Drops on the cornea.

Sodium chloride: In accord to the process of osmosis, the hypertonic solution facilitates the outward movement of water from the cornea as well as maintains the tonicity of the ophthalmic solution for better toleration..

Boric Acid: Being a week acid, it works as an anti-septic, against bacterial and fungal infections; irrigate the eyes, and also acts as an emulsifier. It helps to clear the eyes from pollutants such as dust, loose foreign material, air pollutants or chlorinated water and other chemicals, and provides soothing relief from eye irritation.

Zinc Sulphate: According to the literary data, zinc inhibits the mucus secretion from the ocular surface and also exhibits astringic and antiseptic property.
