Phenylephrine (ophthalmic) is a topical medication commonly used to treat eye conditions. It is a vasoconstrictor drug that can narrow blood vessels in the eyes and reduce eye redness and inflammation. This medication is often used to treat eye allergies, eye inflammation, or eye swelling after surgery. When using, read the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist carefully and make sure you use them as directed. During use, contact with eye surfaces should be avoided to avoid irritation or discomfort. If eye pain, blurred vision, or other unusual symptoms occur, discontinue use immediately and seek medical assistance. Do not change dosage or usage on your own. If you have any questions, you should ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Instructions for use: Please wash your hands thoroughly before using this eye medication, then gently pull down the lower eyelid and instill 1 drop of the solution. Avoid letting the bottle come into contact with your eyes or any other surface to avoid infection. Please make sure the mouth of the bottle is clean before use. Concomitant use of other eye medications is not recommended unless otherwise directed by your doctor. This medication usually does not need to be taken with food, but follow special instructions if given.
Dosage Guidelines: When using this eye medication in adults and children, the recommended starting dose is 1 drop 3 to 4 times daily. Dosage may be adjusted based on symptoms and physician recommendations. For children, please use it under the guidance of a physician. The dosage should be based on age and weight. Do not exceed the number of daily uses or dosage to avoid adverse reactions. If you have any questions, please consult your physician.
Phenylephrine (ophthalmic) is a common ophthalmic medication used to constrict blood vessels in the eye and reduce eye redness and inflammation. However, some side effects may occur during use, including dry eyes, burning sensation, blurred vision, eye stinging, and headache. Some people may experience allergic reactions such as red skin, rash, or allergic conjunctivitis. Serious side effects are less common but can include palpitations, rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing and dizziness. If serious side effects occur, seek medical attention immediately. Before using any medicine, read the instructions carefully and follow the recommendations of your doctor or pharmacist.
PHENYLEPHRINE (ophthalmic) is a common ophthalmic medication used to relieve redness, swelling and inflammation caused by dilated blood vessels in the eyes. However, the following contraindications should be noted when using PHENYLEPHRINE (ophthalmic):
1. Allergic reaction: Patients who are allergic to PHENYLEPHRINE drugs or other ingredients should not use it. An allergic reaction may cause symptoms such as severe skin redness, itching, and difficulty breathing.
2. Patients with glaucoma: Patients with glaucoma should avoid using PHENYLEPHRINE (for ophthalmic use) as this may cause an increase in intraocular pressure and aggravate the symptoms of glaucoma.
3. Cardiovascular disease: Patients with heart disease, hypertension or other cardiovascular disease should consult a doctor before using PHENYLEPHRINE (for ophthalmic use). These patients may be at risk for increased cardiac workload due to drug-induced vasoconstriction.
4. Hyperthyroidism: Patients with hyperthyroidism should avoid using PHENYLEPHRINE (ophthalmic) as this may cause further deterioration of thyroid function.
Before using PHENYLEPHRINE (for ophthalmic use), patients should read the drug instructions carefully and consult a doctor to ensure that they do not fall into the contraindications. If any discomfort or doubt occurs, discontinue use immediately and seek medical help.
Phenylephrine Ophthalmic: For ophthalmic use only. Please follow your doctor's instructions and do not exceed the recommended dosage. There may be side effects such as pupil dilation and blurred vision after use. If you experience any discomfort, please stop using it immediately and consult a doctor.
