1. What is Mirazul and what is it used for
Mirazul belongs to the group of medications known as ocular decongestants.
Fenilephrine hydrochloride is a medication that belongs to the group of sympathomimetics used as decongestants, has a vasoconstrictor effect (causes narrowing of blood vessels), producing rapid and prolonged decongestion, relieving eye irritation.

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 within the eye), as the vasoconstrictive action of phenylephrine may lead to a temporary increase in intraocular pressure (pressure of the eye's fluids).
- If you are taking any monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) medication (such as some antidepressants) or have taken it within 21 days of using Mirazul.
- If you have any severe thyroid disease (overactive thyroid gland).

If eye pain, headache, blurred vision, or changes in vision, eye sensitivity to light, or eye redness occur, consult a doctor.
