Description
Overview of the medicine
Eytex-01-03 Eye Drop is an ophthalmic solution containing Naphazoline Hydrochloride and Pheniramine Maleate. It is used to relieve redness, itching, and irritation associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
1-2 drops in the affected eye(s) 3-4 times daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adult dosage. Use with caution due to potential systemic effects in sensitive individuals.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required for topical ophthalmic use, but caution advised if systemic absorption is a concern.
How to Take
For ophthalmic use only. Tilt head back, pull down lower eyelid, and instill drops into the conjunctival sac. Avoid touching the dropper tip to the eye or any other surface.
Mechanism of Action
Naphazoline acts as a sympathomimetic agent, causing vasoconstriction of conjunctival blood vessels, thereby reducing redness. Pheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks H1 receptors, reducing histamine-mediated itching and swelling.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Within minutes (for decongestant effect).
Excretion
Primarily via urine if systemically absorbed.
Half life
Not well-defined for topical ocular use; systemic half-life of naphazoline is short.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption occurs after topical ocular administration.
Metabolism
Primarily metabolized in the liver if systemically absorbed.
