Common side effects of Ocurest AH

Ocurest AH Eye Drop is a combination of four medicines: Phenylephrine, Naphazoline, Chlorpheniramine Maleate and Menthol which relieve eye itching/discomfort caused by allergies. Phenylephrine and Naphazoline are decongestants. They work by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation (redness and swelling). Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, teary eyes. Menthol is an organic compound which produces a cold sensation and relieves eye irritation.

• Ocurest AH Eye Drop is prescribed for the treatment of allergic eye disease.
• Ocurest AH Eye Drop should usually be used 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.
• To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
• Apply pressure on the corner of the eye (close to the nose) for about 1 minute, immediately after instilling the medication. This will prevent the medication from draining out.
• Do not wear contact lens until your symptoms are completely gone.
