Pharmacology
Antazoline is an antihistamine from the ethylenediamine class, and it works as a selective HI antagonist. HI receptors are responsible for several effects, including contraction of smooth muscle and widening of the capillaries, which also become more permeable. Tetryzoline is a sympathomimetic with alpha-adrenergic activity. It narrows the blood vessels, and this reduces redness and edema in allergic conjunctivitis.
Antihistamines block the HI histamine receptor. They are highly effective at relieving itching, but they are not very active against the redness that comes with it. For this reason, products that combine an antihistamine with a vasoconstrictor are well established for the symptomatic relief of allergic eye disease.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
No clinical data are available on pregnancies exposed to Antazoline + Tetryzoline. So the eye drops should only be used if the likely benefit is greater than the risk to the fetus or infant. It isn't known whether either of the active substances passes into breast milk. Take care when using the product while breast-feeding.
