Always wash your hands before using Naifa Eye Drop. Use only the number of drops that your doctor has prescribed. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before putting them back in. If you're also using other medications for your eyes, wait for at least 10 minutes before using them. Read the leaflet that comes with the medicine carefully for a full guide on how to use the drops. Do not touch the tip of the dropper or bottle to avoid contamination. Use this medicine regularly to get the most benefit.

The most common side effects include burning sensation in the eye, eye irritation, stinging in the eyes. If you get any side effects, talk to your doctor. They may be able to tell you ways of reducing or preventing some side effects or suggest another treatment. If your vision is blurred or you have other changes in sight for a time, do not drive until your vision is clear. This is usually a short-term side effect.

Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have any known allergy to any ingredients of this medicine or using any other medicines. Let your doctor also know about any other medical conditions you have.

Treatment of Eye infection
Naifa Eye Drop helps relieve symptoms of eye infections such as redness, swelling, itching and watering of eyes. It decreases swelling and redness in the eyes by narrowing blood vessels in the eyes. Naifa Eye Drop also gives a soothing effect and keeps the eyes moist. This reduces dryness and discomfort. The dose and duration of treatment will be decided by your doctor based on your condition. Make sure you complete the full course of treatment. Wash your eyes with lukewarm water before applying Naifa Eye Drop. You can also give warm compress to get relief from pain and swelling in the eyes.

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of Naifa

• Eye irritation

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.

Naifa Eye Drop is a combination of four medicines: Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Methylcellulose and Phenyl Mercuric Nitrate. Naphazoline is a decongestant which narrows the blood vessels in the eye, thereby reducing redness and inflammation (swelling). Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic. It blocks the action of a chemical messenger (histamine) which is responsible for red, itchy, watery eyes. Methylcellulose is a lubricant similar to natural tears. It provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort in the eye. Phenyl Mercuric Nitrate is an antimicrobial preservative.

• Your doctor has prescribed Naifa Eye Drop to cure your eye infection and improve your symptoms.
• Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
• In case the dropper tip gets contaminated, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with saltwater.
• Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after putting the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink or rub your eye.
• Do not wear contact lenses until your infection clears up.
• Eye infections can cause your eyes to become more sensitive to sunlight than usual. Wearing sunglasses may help to prevent this.
• Along with using Naifa Eye Drop, give a warm compress to your eyes to get relief from itching and burning sensation.
• Take care to avoid spreading the infection from one eye to the other, and to other members of your family. Washing your hands regularly (particularly after touching your eyes) and not sharing towels or pillows will help to prevent the infection from spreading.
