How Does it Work

Phenylephrine HCl 2.5% Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication to treat a range of ophthalmic conditions. This solution is used to treat eye conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and iritis. It functions by constricting the blood vessels in the eye, thereby reducing redness and swelling, and also helps to alleviate itching and irritation.

Additionally, Phenylephrine HCl 2.5% Ophthalmic Solution is used in the treatment of glaucoma, a condition characterized by high pressure inside the eye.

Furthermore, this solution is also used to treat dry eye syndrome, a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears. It functions by increasing the production of tears, which helps to alleviate the symptoms of dry eye. As always, the solution should be applied to the affected eye(s) as directed by your healthcare professional. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and not to use more or less than the recommended amount.

If you have any questions about how to use this product, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and instructions to ensure the safe and effective use of this medication.
