  • Description

    Naphazoline acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist, primarily targeting the alpha-1 adrenergic receptors in the blood vessels of the eye. It stimulates these receptors, leading to vasoconstriction, which reduces redness and inflammation by narrowing the blood vessels on the eye's surface. Pheniramine maleate, on the other hand, is an antihistamine that blocks the H1 histamine receptors. This action helps to alleviate itching and allergic conjunctivitis symptoms by preventing the effects of histamine, a chemical released during allergic reactions.
