FAQs

How often can I use Optrex Allergy Eye Drops?

You can use Optrex Allergy Eye Drops by instilling 1-2 drops into each eye up to 4 times daily, or as directed by your doctor or pharmacist.

Can I wear contact lenses while using these drops?

No, you must remove your contact lenses before using the eye drops. Wait at least 15 minutes after application before reinserting them.

What is the active ingredient and what does it do?

The active ingredient is 2% w/v Sodium Cromoglicate. It works by stabilizing mast cells in the eyes, preventing the release of histamine and other substances that cause allergic reactions like itching and watering.

Are these drops suitable for children?

How long is the product good for after opening?

You must discard any remaining solution four weeks after opening the bottle to maintain sterility and effectiveness.

What should I do if I am sensitive to any ingredients?

If you are sensitive to any of the listed ingredients (including Benzalkonium Chloride, Disodium Edetate, or Water for Injections), do not use the product. Consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Can these drops be used for eye infections?

No, Optrex Allergy Eye Drops are specifically designed for relief from allergy-related symptoms such as itchiness, redness, and watering. They are not intended to treat eye infections.

Troubleshooting

Eyes remain itchy after application.

Ensure the drops are administered correctly into the eye pocket. If symptoms persist after regular use, consult a doctor or pharmacist. It may take a few days of consistent use to see the full preventative effect.

Bottle dropper appears blocked or won't dispense drops.

Gently tap the bottle. Ensure the cap is removed correctly. If the issue persists, the bottle may need to be replaced, especially if it has been open for over four weeks.

Experiencing mild stinging or discomfort.
