Alcaftadine 0.25% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1206Eye Care
Product Introduction
Alcaftadine 0.25% w/v eye drops relieve itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. They are intended for allergy-related eye symptoms rather than bacterial infection or dryness alone.
How to use
Instil one drop in each affected eye once daily. Remove contact lenses first and wait at least 10 minutes before reinserting them. Leave at least five minutes between this and another eye drop.
How it works
Alcaftadine blocks histamine H1 receptors and reduces mast-cell release of allergic mediators. This limits the itchy response when the eye encounters an allergen.
Side effects
Brief burning, stinging, irritation or redness can occur. Headache or nasal symptoms are occasionally reported.
Important information
Do not use these drops to mask irritation caused by contact lenses, and avoid lenses while the eyes are red. Pain, marked light sensitivity or reduced vision is unusual for simple allergy and needs examination.
Uses
- Itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
Benefits
Provides day-long control of allergy-related itching with a once-daily eye-drop routine.
Are these steroid eye drops?
No. Alcaftadine is an antihistamine with mast-cell-stabilising activity.
Can it treat sticky discharge from a bacterial infection?
No. Its role is allergy control, not antibacterial treatment.
Should extra doses be used whenever an eye itches?
The usual schedule is once daily. Repeated extra doses do not address other causes of ongoing itching.
Can artificial tears be used during the same day?
Yes. Lubricating drops can ease accompanying dryness; space different eye drops so the second does not wash out the first.
Why can symptoms return outdoors?
Pollen, dust or another allergen may still be present. Reducing exposure and avoiding eye rubbing can complement the medicine.
