Description

Indications

Naphazoline and pheniramine ophthalmic is used to provide temporary relief from common allergy-related symptoms in the eyes, including redness, swelling, itching, and excessive tearing. Naphazoline functions as a decongestant and falls under the category of sympathomimetic amines. Its mechanism involves temporarily constricting the blood vessels in the eye. Pheniramine acts as an antihistamine, working to obstruct specific natural compounds that trigger allergic responses.

Uses and Dosage

Before administering eye drops, cleanse your hands thoroughly. To prevent contamination, refrain from touching the dropper tip or allowing it to come into contact with your eye or any other surface.

Prior to applying the eye drops, remove any contact lenses. After using this medication, wait for at least 10 minutes before reinserting your contact lenses. If your eyes remain red, consult your doctor to determine whether wearing contact lenses is advisable.

Before usage, visually inspect the product. Do not utilize it if the liquid has undergone a color change or appears cloudy. Dispose of the medication in a location inaccessible to children and pets.

For treatment, use this medication in the affected eye(s) as required, up to four times daily, or adhere to the instructions provided by your doctor.

  2. Do not allow the dropper tip to touch the eye or any other surface, and ensure that it is kept clean.

  4. Hold the dropper as close to the eye as possible without making contact, and brace the remaining fingers against the face.

  6. Remove the index finger from the lower eyelid and keep the eye closed for 2-3 minutes while tilting the head down.
