Muro 128 5% Ophthalmic Solution
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) Ophthalmic Preparations is commonly known as Muro 128® and used to treat corneal edema, endothelial dystrophy, and corneal endothelial degeneration in dogs and cats.
Corneal edema is a condition in which excessive fluid accumulates within the cornea, which is the clear outer surface of the front of the eye. This fluid accumulation causes the cornea to swell and appear cloudy. The fluid builds up within the layers of the cornea, not within the eye itself.
5% sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ophthalmic saline preparation that is applied topically to treat corneal edema. The preparation is not related to medications used to treat glaucoma. It is an osmotic agent, which means the drug acts somewhat like a sponge, drawing some of the excess fluid out of the cornea by absorbing it once the medication is applied to the cornea.
5% sodium chloride is available as an over-the-counter drug but should not be administered unless under the supervision and guidance of a veterinarian.
