Sodium Cromoglicate 2% Eye Drops (Generic Opticrom - Allergic Conjunctivitis)

Description

Usage

Put 1 to 2 drops into each affected eye, four times a day. For the best effect, use it regularly through hay fever season rather than only when your eyes are already bothering you, it works to prevent symptoms rather than just treat them. It can be used alongside antihistamine tablets or a steroid nasal spray. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in.

Side Effects

A brief stinging or burning feeling right after putting the drops in is common but passes quickly. Temporary blurred vision can happen occasionally. Allergic reactions are rare, and these drops are generally very well tolerated.

Ingredients

The active ingredient is sodium cromoglicate 20mg/ml (2% w/v).

Warnings

Don't wear soft contact lenses while using these drops, as they contain a preservative that can be absorbed by the lenses, remove lenses first and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting. Try not to let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface. Discard the bottle 28 days after opening, even if drops remain.
