FAQs
NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE is used to treat Allergic eye conditions.
NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE is a combination of four drugs, namely: Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine, Hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose and Benzalkonium chloride. 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 that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions. Hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose forms a lubricating, transparent, moistening film on the cornea (eye surface). Thereby, it provides a soothing effect and relieves irritation and dryness caused by decreased tear flow. Benzalkonium Chloride has antiseptic, disinfectant and antimicrobial properties. Altogether, NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE helps relieve symptoms of allergies such as eye redness, itching, puffiness, swelling, and watery eyes.
You must maintain a minimum of a 5-minute time gap between using NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE and other eye drops. However, please consult a doctor before using other medicines with NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE.
You are not recommended to wear contact lenses while using NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE as it contains benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that changes the colour of the contact lens as a soft contact lens may absorb it. Therefore, you are advised to remove contact lenses before applying NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE and reinsert after 15 minutes of using NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE.
Yes, NAPHAZOLINE HYDROCHLORIDE+CHLORPHENIRAMINE MALEATE+HYDROXYPROPYLMETHYL CELLULOSE+BENZALKONIUM CHLORIDE may cause temporary blurred vision. Therefore, you should wait until your vision is clear before driving or operating heavy machinery.
