Indicated for: allergic conjunctivitis
Route of administration: ophthalmic
Substance: antazoline + tetryzoline (antiallergic agent + adrenergic decongestant)
ATC: S01GA52 (Sensory organs | Decongestants and antiallergics | Sympathomimetics used as decongestants)
Antazoline and tetryzoline are two active substances commonly found together in eye drops used to relieve symptoms of red, irritated, or allergic eyes. Antazoline is an antihistamine that reduces local allergic reactions, while tetryzoline is a decongestant that helps reduce redness and swelling by constricting the blood vessels in the conjunctiva.
This combined medication is mainly used to treat allergic conjunctivitis and irritations caused by dust, pollen, or other environmental factors. The drops are applied directly to the eyes, usually several times a day, as recommended by your doctor or pharmacist. It is important not to exceed the recommended dose and not to use the product for a long period without medical advice.
Side effects may include a burning or stinging sensation upon application, dry eyes, temporary blurred vision, or local allergic reactions. In rare cases, more severe reactions may occur, such as increased intraocular pressure or systemic allergic reactions. If you experience unusual or severe symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
Antazoline and tetryzoline are effective for rapid relief of eye symptoms, but their use requires caution, especially in children, people with pre-existing eye conditions, or those who wear contact lenses. Always consult your doctor before starting treatment and follow the instructions to avoid complications.
