About Persil Eye Drop

Persil Eye Drop is used to treat allergic eye conditions. It helps relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, and discomfort caused by eye allergies or exposure to environmental factors like wind, sun, or dust. Eye allergies occur when the immune system reacts to an irritating substance, known as an allergen, that comes into contact with the eyes. In the case of eye allergies, this reaction results in redness, swelling, inflammation, and pain in the eyes.

Persil Eye Drop contains Naphazoline, Methylcellulose, Boric acid, Zinc sulfate, and Chlorpheniramine maleate. Naphazoline is a decongestant that narrows the enlarged blood vessels in the eyes, relieving itching and redness caused by eye irritation, colds, or allergies. Methylcellulose acts as a lubricant for the eyes, reducing dryness and discomfort. Boric acid (an antiseptic) is used as an eye wash to clean and soothe the eyes. It helps relieve irritation and removes pollutants like smog, chlorine, or chemicals. Zinc sulfate is an astringent (a substance that contracts body tissues) that helps reduce eye redness and irritation. Chlorpheniramine maleate is an antihistamine (antiallergic) that reduces itching and watery eyes caused by allergies. Together, these ingredients effectively relieve symptoms associated with eye allergies.

Persil Eye Drop is for ophthalmic (eye) use only. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects such as a mild burning or stinging sensation in the eyes, blurred vision, and dilated pupils. These side effects do not require medical attention and generally resolve over time. However, you are advised to consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.

Before using Persil Eye Drop, inform your doctor if you are allergic to any of its ingredients and about all the prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, especially eye medications and products. Avoid touching the tip of the dropper with bare hands or bringing it closer to the eyelids while using Persil Eye Drop, as this may contaminate the tip and the medicine. Avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear, as the administration of Persil Eye Drop may cause temporary blurred vision. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it is advised to inform your doctor before using Persil Eye Drop. Persil Eye Drop should be used in children only if prescribed by a doctor.
