1. What Mirazul is and what it is used for
Mirazul belongs to the group of medications known as ocular decongestants.
Phenylephrine hydrochloride is a medication that belongs to the group of sympathomimetics used as decongestants, it has a vasoconstrictor effect (causes narrowing of blood vessels), producing rapid and prolonged decongestion, relieving eye irritations.
Mirazul is an eye drop solution indicated to relieve eye irritation caused by smoke, air, dust, pool chlorine, seawater, polluted environments, contact lenses, cosmetics, eye fatigue, etc. in adults.
You should consult a doctor if it worsens or does not improve after 5 days.
2. What you need to know before starting to use Mirazul
Do not use Mirazul:
- If you are allergic to phenylephrine hydrochloride or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
- If you have glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye), as the vasoconstrictor action of phenylephrine may lead to a transient increase in intraocular pressure (pressure of the eye fluids).
- If you are taking any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medication (such as some antidepressants) or have taken it up to 21 days before using Mirazul.
- If you have any severe thyroid disease (overactive thyroid gland).
- If you have dry rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal mucosa).
- In children under 12 years of age.
Warnings and Precautions
Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before starting to use Mirazul.
- If you have high blood pressure.
- If you have advanced arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).
- If you have orthostatic hypotension (decrease in blood pressure when changing position).
- If you have long-term insulin-dependent diabetes.
- If you have heart disease, including severe ischemic cardiopathy (transient decrease in blood circulation to the heart).
During administration, care should be taken not to touch the dropper tip to the eye, touch it with hands, or with any other object. It should be closed immediately after use.
If there is no improvement after 5 days of treatment or if symptoms worsen when using the medication, its use should be discontinued and a doctor consulted.
Chronic use of this medication can cause rebound congestion in the eye.
When patients are not yet accustomed to contact lenses, they should not use this medication for more than 5 consecutive days without consulting a doctor, in order to avoid masking possible eye irritation due to incorrect fitting of the lenses.
If eye pain, headache, blurred vision, or changes in vision, sensitivity of the eyes to light, or eye redness occur, a doctor should be consulted.
Children
Mirazul should not be used in children under 12 years of age, as children seem to be more sensitive to the risk of serious side effects.
Mirazul is not recommended in children between 12 and 18 years of age, as there is a lack of adequate clinical experience.
Using Mirazul with Other Medications
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have recently used, or may need to use any other medication.
- Tricyclic antidepressants (amitriptyline, doxepin, trimipramine) and MAOIs (isocarboxazid, iproniazid, moclobemide), which are medications for treating depression, reserpine, and guanethidine (medication for reducing blood pressure), may increase the action of this medication.
- This medication is incompatible with the local anesthetic butacaine.
- The mydriatic response (increase in pupil dilation) of phenylephrine hydrochloride is reduced when the patient is treated simultaneously with levodopa (medication for treating Parkinson's disease).
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or plan to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.
Since the risk to the fetus cannot be excluded, the use of Mirazul is not recommended during pregnancy.
Breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication, as it is not known with certainty whether phenylephrine hydrochloride passes into breast milk.
Driving and Using Machines
Mirazul has a mydriatic effect (abnormal dilation of the pupil with iris immobility) that increases with the dose. This medication may cause disorders in visual accommodation (eye adaptation), and therefore, a decrease in reaction time. Therefore, driving or using machinery after administration is not recommended.
Mirazul Contains Benzoic Acid
This medication may be slightly irritating to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes because it contains benzoic acid.
Avoid contact with soft contact lenses. It changes the color of soft contact lenses.
