Pharmacology
This ophthalmic solution combines Naphazoline Hydrochloride and Pheniramine Maleate, bringing together the effects of an antihistamine and a decongestant in a single preparation. Pheniramine Maleate is the antihistamine component, while Naphazoline Hydrochloride serves as the decongestant. Naphazoline Hydrochloride is a direct acting sympathomimetic amine that acts on alpha adrenergic receptors in the arterioles of the conjunctiva to produce vasoconstriction, thereby reducing conjunctival congestion. Pheniramine Maleate is an alkylamine derivative with antimuscarinic and central sedative properties, used to relieve the symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions such as conjunctivitis.
