Opticrom 2% Eye Drops is a medication that is specifically designed to relieve the symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. This condition occurs when the eyes come into contact with pollen from grasses or trees, leading to allergic reactions such as itchy, watery, red or inflamed eyes, and puffy eyelids.

The active ingredient in this medicine is Opticrom 2%, which is an anti-allergic medication that works by preventing the release of natural substances in the eyes that can lead to allergic reactions. By blocking the release of these substances, providing relief from itching, swelling, and redness.

Opticrom 2% Eye Drops are easy to use and can be applied directly to the affected eye. The drops are suitable for adults and children over the age of six years old. The recommended dosage is two drops in each eye, four times a day, although the frequency and duration of use may vary depending on the severity of the symptoms.

The drops come in a convenient dropper bottle, making it easy to apply them accurately and hygienically. As with any medication, it is important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional carefully. This includes removing contact lenses before use and waiting at least 15 minutes before replacing them.

 

Directions for use

  • Always use this medicine as directed by your doctor or pharmacist
  • Adults (including elderly) and children over 6 years can use one or two drops, four times a day
  • This medicine should not be used in children under 6 years of age
  • If you are unsure about using this medicine for a child, seek advice from a doctor or pharmacist
  • If your eyes do not improve after 2 days of using this medicine, see your doctor or pharmacist
  • Use the eye drops regularly every day while high pollen levels are expected
  • If you need to use this medicine continuously for more than 14 days, check with your pharmacist or doctor before continuing
  • To use the medicine, wash your hands and remove the cap from the bottle
  • Tilt your head back and squeeze one or two drops inside the lower lid without touching your eye
  • Close your eye and wipe away any excess liquid from the eyes with a clean tissue
  • Always put the cap back on the bottle after use

What this medicine contains?

  •  The active substance is sodium cromoglicate. Each 1ml of eye drops contains 20mg of sodium cromoglicate (2.0% w/v). One drop contains 0.7mg of sodium cromoglicate.
  •  The other ingredients are disodium edetate, benzalkonium chloride and water for injections.

Before using this medicine, it is important to take note of the following warnings and precautions to ensure safe and effective use:

  • It is essential to confirm that your or your child’s irritated eyes are caused by seasonal allergies before using this medicine. It is recommended to seek a diagnosis from a doctor if you are uncertain about the cause of the symptoms.
  • You can identify allergic eyes caused by seasonal allergies if both eyes are affected, accompanied by a runny or blocked nose, and with no impact on eyesight. If you already know that you suffer from seasonal allergies and your symptoms coincide with the times of year when grass or tree pollen is high, you can also use this medicine.
  • However, if you or your child only have one eye affected or have no nose symptoms, and your eyesight is affected, you should consult a doctor or pharmacist before using this medicine. Similarly, if the eye symptoms occur at the wrong time of year for seasonal allergies or are likely to be caused by another allergy such as a pet or dust mite allergy, it is best to seek medical advice before using this medicine.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if any of the side effects get serious or last longer than a few days

  • As with any medication, there is a possibility of experiencing side effects with this medicine, although not everyone will experience them.
  • If your symptoms, such as itching, redness, or swelling, worsen, you may be allergic to this medicine, and you should discontinue use and see a doctor immediately.
  • If you experience any side effects that are persistent or severe or if you notice any side effects that are not listed in the leaflet, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
  • Mild stinging or burning in the eyes or temporary blurred vision may occur immediately after using the eye drops, but these should subside shortly.
  • Mild eye irritation may also occur, but this is a common side effect that typically resolves quickly.
