How to use Ocucel A Eye Drop

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.

How Ocucel A Eye Drop works

Ocucel A Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Naphazoline and Chlorpheniramine Maleate which relieve eye itching/discomfort caused by allergies. Naphazoline is a decongestant which works by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, teary eyes.

Quick tips

Wash your hands properly before and after applying Ocucel A Eye Drop to avoid contamination or spreading infection.
Gently tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and apply the medicine without touching your eye with the tip.
Close your eyes gently for a minute or two after application to let the medicine absorb properly.
Use Ocucel A Eye Drop only for short-term relief, as overuse can lead to rebound redness or increased irritation.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive or breastfeeding.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ocucel A Eye Drop used for?

Ocucel A Eye Drop helps relieve red, itchy, and watery eyes caused by allergies. Ocucel A Eye Drop contains naphazoline and chlorpheniramine. Nephazoline reduces eye redness by narrowing blood vessels in your eyes, while chlorpheniramine blocks histamine, which causes allergy symptoms. They are commonly used for seasonal allergies, dust allergies, and other eye irritations.

How quickly does Ocucel A Eye Drop work for red eyes?

Most people experience relief from redness and itching within a few minutes of applying the drops. The effects typically last for several hours, which is why these drops are often used 2-4 times daily, as prescribed by your doctor.

Can I use Ocucel A Eye Drop for dry or tired eyes?

Ocucel A Eye Drop is meant for allergy-related eye symptoms, not for general dryness or eye fatigue. Using them unnecessarily or too often may lead to rebound redness or worsening symptoms.

Can I use Ocucel A Eye Drop while wearing contact lenses?

You should remove your contact lenses before using Ocucel A Eye Drop. Wait at least 10-15 minutes after applying the drops before putting your lenses back. Some ingredients in the drops can stick to contact lenses and cause eye irritation.

Who should avoid using Ocucel A Eye Drop?

Individuals should avoid using Ocucel A Eye Drop drops if they have glaucoma, severe heart disease, high blood pressure, or are allergic to any ingredients. Also, avoid use if you are taking certain antidepressants (MAOIs).

How long can I use Ocucel A Eye Drop after opening?

You should use the Ocucel A Eye Drop within 30 days after opening. Do not use the Ocucel A Eye Drop after 30 days, even if it is not expired. Discard the product if it looks cloudy, changes color, or reaches its expiry date.

How often can I safely use Ocucel A Eye Drop?

Most doctors recommend using these drops 2-4 times daily, with at least 4-6 hours between doses. Do not use them more often than prescribed, as overuse can lead to increased eye redness (rebound effect) and other problems.

Is Ocucel A Eye Drop safe for children?

Always consult a pediatrician before using these drops in children. The dosage may need to be adjusted, and some formulations might not be suitable for young children. Never share adult prescriptions with children.
