About Ocucel A Drops

Ocucel A Drops belongs to the class of medication called ‘ophthalmic agents’ primarily used to treat allergic eye disease symptoms such as eye redness, itching, puffiness, swelling, and watery eyes. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements typically not harmful to your body. Eye allergy is when the eye becomes red and swollen, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and pain.

Ocucel A Drops is a combination of two drugs, namely: Naphazoline (decongestant) and Chlorpheniramine (antihistamine). Naphazoline belongs to the class of decongestants that works by narrowing the eye's swollen blood vessels to reduce inflammation (redness and swelling in the eye). Chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine (anti-allergic drug) that works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance responsible for causing allergic reactions.
