About Phenylephrine+naphazoline+chlorpheniramine+camphor+menthol
Phenylephrine+naphazoline+chlorpheniramine+camphor+menthol is an ophthalmic medicine used to treat allergic conjunctivitis (eye allergy) and computer vision syndrome (digital eye strain). Phenylephrine+naphazoline+chlorpheniramine+camphor+menthol provides relief from watery eyes, redness, itching, burning sensation, discomfort and dryness of the eyes due to exposure to wind, sun, or dust. Allergic conjunctivitis, also known as eye allergy, is the immune response when the eye comes in contact with an irritating substance known as an allergen.
Phenylephrine, Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine, Camphor, and Menthol are all components of Phenylephrine+naphazoline+chlorpheniramine+camphor+menthol. Decongestants such as phenylephrine and naphazoline constrict or narrow the blood vessels in the eye, which reduces inflammation (redness and swelling). An antiallergic drug called chlorpheniramine maleate prevents the release of particular chemical messengers that cause red, itchy, and watery eyes. Menthol and camphor contribute to the cooling effect on the eye. Together, Phenylephrine+naphazoline+chlorpheniramine+camphor+menthol aids in easing the symptoms of an eye allergy.
