Optihist eye drops are used to relieve the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, also known as allergic eye inflammation.
Allergic conjunctivitis is a common condition that occurs when the eyes become irritated by allergens like pollen, dust mites, animal dander, or mold.
Optihist eye drops contain the active ingredient ketotifen fumarate, which is an antihistamine that works by blocking the effects of histamine, a chemical that the body releases during an allergic reaction.
By blocking histamine, Optihist eye drops help to reduce the redness, itching, watering, and swelling associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
How to use Optihist eye drops:
Follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
Typically, you will need to instill one or two drops of Optihist eye drops into the affected eye(s) several times a day.
Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.
Important considerations:
Optihist eye drops are generally safe for most people, but it is important to talk to your doctor before using them if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.
If you experience any side effects, such as blurred vision, eye pain, or increased redness, stop using the eye drops and contact your doctor immediately.
