At a glance
Antazoline + Tetryzoline is an ophthalmic solution used for the temporary relief of signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis including conjunctival hyperaemia, chemosis, and itching.
Indications
- Allergic conjunctivitis
- Conjunctival hyperaemia (redness)
- Chemosis (swelling)
- Ocular itching
Pharmacology
Antazoline is an antihistamine of the ethylenediamine class, which are selective H1-antagonists. Effects mediated by H1 receptors include contraction of smooth muscle and dilation and increased permeability of capillaries. Antihistamines are highly effective in relieving itching but are not very active in relieving redness.
Tetryzoline is a sympathomimetic with alpha-adrenergic activity. Its vasoconstrictive effect reduces redness and edema in allergic conjunctivitis.
The combination of an antihistamine and a vasoconstrictor is well established in the symptomatic relief of allergic eye disease.
