How Red Rid Eye Drop works

Red Rid Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: naphazoline and phenylephrine. Red Rid Eye Drop relieves eye itching/discomfort caused by seasonal allergies. Naphazoline is a sympathomimetic-alpha 1 medicine that also narrows the blood vessels in the eye, thereby reducing redness and swelling. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that tightens the blood vessels in the eye further reducing redness and irritation.
