About Mezol Eye Drops

Mezol Eye Drops is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergy). Mezol 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.

Mezol Eye Drops contains three medications: methylcellulose, naphazoline and chlorpheniramine. Methylcellulose functions as a lubricant in the same way that natural tears do. It provides short relief from burning and discomfort caused by eye dryness. Naphazoline is a decongestant that constricts blood vessels in the eyes, lowering redness and inflammation (swelling). Chlorpheniramine is an antiallergic medication that inhibits the action of particular chemical messengers that cause red, itchy, and teary eyes.

Mezol Eye Drops is for ophthalmic (eye) use only. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to use Mezol Eye Drops for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as pain, irritation, blurred vision and stinging sensation. 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.

Talk to your doctor if the irritation persists despite using Mezol Eye Drops for three days or if the condition worsens. Consult your doctor before using Mezol Eye Drops if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Mezol Eye Drops should not be used in children unless prescribed by the doctor. Please do not touch the tip of the dropper, as it may contaminate the contents. Inform your doctor regarding other prescription, non-prescription and herbal medicines you take to prevent any side effects/interactions.

Medicinal Benefits

Mezol Eye Drops is a combination of three drugs: Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine and Methylcellulose. Mezol Eye Drops is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis and computer vision syndrome (digital eye strain) associated with the eye's watery eyes, itching, and redness. Mezol Eye Drops relieves redness, itching, burning sensation and discomfort due to the eye's dryness and exposure to wind, sun or dust. Naphazoline is a decongestant that constricts or narrows the eye's blood vessels, which helps relieve itching and irritation. Chlorpheniramine works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. It directly acts on the brain and relieves allergy symptoms by preventing histamine release. Methylcellulose helps lubricate similar to natural tears and helps to provide temporary relief from burning and discomfort due to dryness in the eye. Together, Mezol Eye Drops helps relieve different allergic conditions like conjunctivitis.
