Vitricine Eye Drop

Who is this for?

Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride is an eye drop that works by narrowing the tiny blood vessels in your eyes, which reduces redness and makes your eyes look clearer and feel more comfortable.

Binds to alpha-1 adrenergic receptors on conjunctival and episcleral blood vessels, causing vasoconstriction and reducing hyperemia, conjunctival edema, and ocular irritation.

Is Tetrahydrozoline safe to take with another drug?

Put 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) 2 to 3 times a day. Tilt your head back, pull down your lower eyelid gently, and squeeze the drop in. Try not to touch the tip of the bottle to your eye. Do not use it for more than 3 days in a row unless your doctor says so.

If you forget a dose, just put the drop in when you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one. Do not double up by putting extra drops to make up for the one you missed.

• Mild stinging or burning when you first put the drop in
• temporary blurred vision
• slight eye dryness
• mild headache

Avoid using tetrahydrozoline if you are taking MAO inhibitor drugs (some medicines used for depression or mental health). If you are using other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each type. Mention all your medications to your pharmacist before buying.

Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and heat. In Nigeria's hot climate, keep it in a cool, dry place — not inside a hot car or near a window. Keep the cap tightly closed after use and store away from children. Discard the bottle 4 weeks after opening.
