Curall-A (0.5/0.025%) 10ml Eye Drops

Antazoline is an antihistamine that works by blocking H1-receptor sites, reducing histamine-induced vascular leakage and preventing the formation of edema. Naphazoline, a sympathomimetic amine, acts as a vasoconstrictor by directly stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the arterioles of the conjunctiva, leading to reduced hyperemia and congestion.
