About OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML

OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML belongs to the class of medication called ‘ophthalmic agents’ primarily used to treat allergic eye disease symptoms such as eye redness, itching, puffiness, swelling, and watery eyes. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. Eye allergy is when the eye becomes red and swollen, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and pain.

OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML is a combination of two drugs, namely: Naphazoline (decongestant) and Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine). Naphazoline belongs to the class of decongestants that works by narrowing the eye's swollen blood vessels to reduce inflammation (redness and swelling in the eye). Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.

OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML is only for use in the eyes. Do not swallow or inject OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML. Use OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. Some people may experience a burning or stinging sensation in the eyes or blurred vision. Most of these side effects of OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML. OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML is not recommended for children below 6 years of age. You are recommended to remove contact lenses before using OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML as it contains a preservative responsible for causing discoloration of soft contact lenses. However, you can put them back after 15 minutes of using OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML. If you are using two eye medications, wait for at least 5 minutes before using other eye medications. If you have narrow-angle glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), an eye injury or infection, difficulty in urination, kidney, liver, or heart disease, inform your doctor before taking OPTIZEE DROPS 10ML.
