Opcon-A® Itching & Redness Reliever Eye Drops
Key Features & Benefits
-
Contains pheniramine maleate. Therefore, there are fewer hypersensitivity reactions (irritation and burning) than with antazoline antihistamine in competitive products, meaning less patients come back for additional problems.
-
One product to use/prescribe since Opcon-A™ is a combined antihistamine and vasoconstrictor.
-
Viscosity agent HPMC makes the product non-stinging; does not leave a residual crusting and allows for a long duration time so patient needs to use fewer applications (4 to 6 hours).
-
Less costly than other competitors.
