This medication contains the active ingredient tetrizoline hydrochloride. It belongs to a group of medicines called ocular decongestants (eye medication).

This medication is used to treat temporary eye redness caused by mild non-infectious irritations due, for example, to smoke, dust, wind, chlorinated water, light, or allergies in adults, adolescents, and children aged 2 years and above. Children over 2 years and under 6 years should be treated with this medication only under the recommendation of a healthcare professional.

Do not use this medication if:

• You are allergic to tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride or any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6).
• You have narrow-angle glaucoma.
• You are under 2 years old.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor before using this medication if you have any of the following symptoms. You may still be able to use this medication, but before starting to use this medication, you must consult your doctor if you have:

- severe cardiovascular diseases (e.g., coronary disease, high blood pressure, phaeochromocytoma)

- benign prostatic hyperplasia

- metabolic disorders (e.g., hyperthyroidism, diabetes, disorders of red blood cell pigment formation)

- dry rinitis (chronic inflammation in the anterior nasal region)

- dry keratoconjunctivitis (dryness of the conjunctiva and cornea)

- glaucoma (eye disease in which the optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain, is damaged).

If you do not improve in 48 hours or if redness or irritation persist or worsen, or if you experience changes in vision or eye pain, stop using this medication and consult a doctor. Irritation or redness due to an infection, a foreign body in the eye, or a chemical corneal trauma also require a doctor's attention. If you experience headache, vision loss, vision disturbances (e.g., appearance of floating spots or double vision), acute or unilateral intense eye redness, or pain when exposed to light, stop using the medication and consult a doctor, as this means you have a serious eye disease with which this product will not help you.

Be careful not to use more medication than you should and do not use it for a long time (i.e., more than 3-5 consecutive days), as it could worsen eye redness or nasal symptoms.

When using this product, your pupils may temporarily dilate.

Method of administration:

2. To open the child-resistant cap, press and twist it in the opposite direction to the clock hands.
3. After opening the cap, the container should be placed upside down. Lean your head slightly back. Gently squeeze the bottle to apply 1 or 2 drops in the conjunctival sac. The tip of the bottle should not come into contact with anything other than the cap to avoid any type of contamination. Never touch the eye with the tip of the container.

Duration of treatment:

This medication should be used for the shortest time necessary to relieve symptoms and not more than 5 consecutive days.

Repeated application should be done with caution, as prolonged use (even with brief breaks of a few days) or excessive use may cause chronic inflammation and/or conjunctival atrophy.

Prolonged use may increase eye redness. If no improvement is seen in 2 days or if redness worsens or persists, discontinue use and consult your doctor.
