Treatment of allergic conjunctivitis, eye irritation, redness, and itching due to花粉, dust, or other common allergens. May also be used for non-specific eye irritation.

Antazoline is an H1-receptor antagonist that blocks histamine, reducing itching and allergic response. Naphazoline is an alpha-adrenergic agonist that causes vasoconstriction of conjunctival blood vessels, reducing redness and swelling.

For ophthalmic use only. Should not be used long-term (typically limited to 3-5 days) due to risk of rebound redness and dependency. Contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma, severe cardiovascular disease, or those taking MAO inhibitors. May cause temporary blurred vision after application. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist beyond recommended duration.
