Product description

Eye drops containing Sodium Cromoglicate 2% w/v for the relief of itching, redness, soreness and watering of the eyes caused by hayfever, suitable for adults and children aged 6 years and over.

Opticrom Hayfever Eye Drops contain Sodium Cromoglicate 2% w/v, a mast cell stabiliser that works by preventing the release of histamine in the eye tissue. When pollen or other hayfever triggers come into contact with the eyes, the body releases histamine, which causes the characteristic itching, redness, soreness and watering associated with hayfever. By stabilising mast cells and blocking this histamine release before symptoms develop, Sodium Cromoglicate addresses the underlying allergic response rather than simply masking the symptoms.

For best results, treatment should be started before the hayfever season begins and continued throughout the season. The drops are applied four times daily to maintain a steady protective effect. The product is for the relief of hayfever eye symptoms only if symptoms are thought to be caused by other allergens such as pet dander or dust mites, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted before use. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
