What is Opticool 10 ml?

Opticool 10ml is an eye drop medication containing Naphazoline (0.05% w/v) and Phenylephrine (0.12% w/v). It is used to alleviate allergic eye conditions, helping to reduce redness and swelling while providing relief from discomfort and burning sensations.

This medication is intended for use in the affected eye only. Always consult a healthcare professional before use and complete the prescribed treatment course, as incomplete treatment may leave the underlying allergy untreated.

What Is The Use of Opticool Eye Drops?

Allergic eye disease: This condition involves inflammation of the eye caused by allergens. The conjunctiva, a membrane covering the eyeball, becomes irritated due to these allergens.

Opticool combines Naphazoline and Phenylephrine, where Naphazoline acts as a sympathomimetic-alpha 1 agent that constricts blood vessels in the eye to reduce redness and swelling, while Phenylephrine, a decongestant, narrows blood vessels and decreases fluid production to enhance drainage.
