Description
The combination of Naphazoline HCl, Phenylephrine HCl, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Menthol with Camphor, Ophthalmic Solution is typically used as an eye drop solution designed to relieve symptoms related to eye irritation, such as redness, itching, and watering.
Key Features:
-
Naphazoline Hydrochloride (Vasoconstrictor (Decongestant)): Naphazoline works by constricting the blood vessels in the eye, helping to reduce redness and swelling. It is commonly used in over-the-counter eye drops to relieve the appearance of “bloodshot eyes” caused by irritation or allergies.
-
Phenylephrine Hydrochloride (Sympathomimetic drug (Vasoconstrictor)): Phenylephrine is a decongestant that works similarly to Naphazoline. It helps reduce swelling and redness in the eyes by constricting blood vessels. It’s often used in combination with other agents to provide broader relief from eye discomfort.
-
Chlorpheniramine Maleate (Antihistamine): Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine that works to block the effects of histamine, a substance produced during allergic reactions. It helps reduce symptoms like itching, redness, and watery eyes associated with allergies or irritation.
-
Menthol (Cooling agent): Menthol provides a cooling sensation and can help soothe irritated eyes, offering relief from mild discomfort or a burning sensation. It also has mild analgesic properties that help ease discomfort.
-
Camphor (Soothing agent): Camphor has a mild cooling effect and is often used for its soothing properties. In the context of ophthalmic solutions, it helps alleviate discomfort, reduces inflammation, and provides a feeling of relief from irritation.
Primarily it is used for the temporary relief of redness, irritation, and discomfort in the eyes caused by allergens, environmental factors, or minor eye irritation. It also provides relief from allergic conjunctivitis symptoms (itchy, watery, red eyes).
