INFORMATION ABOUT TETRAHYDROZOLINE
Tetrahydrozoline Uses
Tetrahydrozoline is used in allergic eye disease.
How Tetrahydrozoline works
Tetrahydrozoline exhibits sympathomimetic activity by selectively binding to and activating alpha-adrenergic receptors. When applied locally to the eye, this action triggers vasoconstriction, effectively narrowing the swollen blood vessels. It reduces redness, decreases congestion, and helps restore the eye's natural clarity and comfort. This targeted mechanism temporarily relieves symptoms caused by allergies, environmental irritants, or mild eye discomfort.
