How Does It Work?

• Optihist Plus Eye drop contains 4 different active ingredients- chlorpheniramine, Sodium Chloride, Boric Acid and Tetrahydrozoline. The combined action of these components helps in relieving discomfort from the eyes.
• Chlorpheniramine is an anti-allergic medicine that blocks the action of histamine, a naturally occurring substance in the body responsible for causing the allergy.
• Sodium chloride is used as a hypertonic solution that helps in drawing out the fluid from the eyes and thus leads to clear vision, reduction in swelling or other eye conditions.
• Boric acid acts as an antiseptic and helps fight against bacterial infection in the eyes and relieves irritation or itching.
• Tetrahydrozoline acts as a vasoconstrictor. It helps in narrowing the swollen blood vessels in the eyes and relieves eye irritation, itching or unusual eye discharge.
