While Boric Acid+chlorpheniramine+hypromellose+naphazoline+sodium Chloride+zinc Sulfate is highly effective, some people may experience mild, temporary side effects like a brief stinging sensation, slightly blurred vision, or wider pupils.

Talk to your doctor before starting Boric Acid+chlorpheniramine+hypromellose+naphazoline+sodium Chloride+zinc Sulfate if you have narrow-angle glaucoma, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, or a thyroid disorder.

Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you use, especially blood pressure treatments or antidepressants, as certain drug combinations can cause a sudden rise in blood pressure. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or caring for an elderly patient, consult your doctor before using these eye drops to ensure they are safe for your specific situation.
