Epitane Eye Drop

Epitane Eye Drop is an antihistamine medicine used in the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is a condition in which the eyes become itchy, red, swollen, and teary when exposed to certain substances in the air.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, if these side effects persist for a longer period, please consult your doctor as soon as possible. Epitane Eye Drop is an ophthalmic preparation. It should be used as prescribed by your doctor.
