Age 65, I have dry eyes and doctor has prescribed Tears Naturale Forte. No other problem in eye or health. Good health. Will Netra Sudarshan Arq help, if I discontinue the Tears Naturale and use this instead?
Netra Sudarshan Arq does not work like lubricant eye drops. However, it helps by alleviating inflammation of the ocular surface and tear glands, if these are the underlying causes of dry eyes. Generally, inflammation of the ocular surface is the cause of dry eye disease, which is also mostly undiagnosed.
Thanks. I’m reading in some reports that samples of this medicine were found contaminated in 4 brands. Would you know of any brand which is more reliable than others, in this category?
Netra Sudarshan Ark is not a brand name. It is classical name as per text book. The reports have not given any name of manufactured. You can buy Netra Sudarshan Ark manufacturer by Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhawan, Kalera.
It is also a bad news for ayurveda lovers. We have very effective medicines, but many of ayurveda manufacturers are not doing good job.
That’s the reason why we have to prepare medicines ourselves for our patients and because we are not getting good results with medicines available in the market.
Does sudarsan ark work for diabetic retinopathy?
