Otrivine Antistin Eye Drops

Otrivine Antistin Eye Drops help to relieve the redness and itching caused by allergies such as hayfever, or house dust allergies. They contain two active ingredients to make your eyes feel more comfortable:
  • Xylometazoline hydrochloride: A decongestant.
  • Antazoline sulphate: An anti-allergic agent.
Otrivine Antistin Eye Drops are suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age, but are not suitable for contact lens wearers. 

Directions

Dosage
  • Adults: One or two drops in each eye, two or three times each day.
  • Elderly and children 12 years and over: One drop in each eye, two or three times each day.
  • Children under 12 years: Do not use.
If your symptoms have not improved after 2 days you must go and see your doctor because Otrivine Antistin might not be the right medicine for you. You may have an infection and need an antibiotic.
