How Ocucel A Products work
Naphazoline + Chlorpheniramine Maleate is a combination of two medicines: Naphazoline + Chlorpheniramine Maleate1 and Naphazoline + Chlorpheniramine Maleate2 which relieve eye itching/discomfort caused by allergies. Naphazoline + Chlorpheniramine Maleate1 is a decongestant which works by narrowing blood vessels of the eye to relieve inflammation. Naphazoline + Chlorpheniramine Maleate2 is an antiallergic which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, teary eyes.
