Ocurest-AH Eye Drops 10ml

Ocurest-AH Eye Drops is an ophthalmic medicine used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergy) and computer vision syndrome (digital eye strain). Ocurest-AH Eye Drops provides relief from watery eyes, redness, itching, burning sensation, discomfort and dryness of the eyes due to exposure to wind, sun, or dust. Allergic conjunctivitis, also known as eye allergy, is the immune response when the eye comes in contact with an irritating substance known as an allergen.

Phenylephrine, Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine, Camphor, and Menthol are all components of Ocurest-AH Eye Drops. Decongestants such as phenylephrine and naphazoline constrict or narrow the blood vessels in the eye, which reduces inflammation (redness and swelling). An antiallergic drug called chlorpheniramine maleate prevents the release of particular chemical messengers that cause red, itchy, and watery eyes. Menthol and camphor contribute to the cooling effect on the eye. Together, Ocurest-AH Eye Drops aids in easing the symptoms of an eye allergy.

Ocurest-AH Eye Drops is for ophthalmic (eye) use only. Use the dropper provided by the pack to instil the drops into the eye.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
