About Boric Acid+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Chloride+tetrahydrozoline
Boric Acid+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Chloride+tetrahydrozoline is used to treat allergic eye diseases and provide relief from eye redness, itching, burning and discomfort. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements that are typically not harmful to the body. An eye allergy occurs when the eye becomes red and swollen, leading to inflammation, discomfort, and pain.
Boric Acid+chlorpheniramine Maleate+sodium Chloride+tetrahydrozoline is a combination of four drugs, namely: Boric acid (antiseptic), Chlorpheniramine maleate (antihistamine), Sodium chloride (eye lubricant) and Tetrahydozoline (decongestant). Boric acid acts as an antiseptic to prevent infections, while Chlorpheniramine maleate blocks histamine receptors to reduce itching and allergic reactions. Sodium chloride acts as eye lubricant and helps draw water from the cornea, thereby relieving the swelling of the eye and Tetrahydrozoline acts as a decongestant that temporarily narrows the blood vessels in the eye. Thus, it helps to relieve the redness of the eye due to minor eye irritations.
