Medicine Description visine-ac 0.05%
Visine-AC 0.05% Eye Drops is a medication that combines an antihistamine and a vasoconstrictor to combat allergic conjunctivitis. The antihistamine component works by blocking the H1 receptors in the eye, which helps to alleviate symptoms such as itching and redness by inhibiting the release of histamine from mast cells. The vasoconstrictor component acts by constricting the dilated blood vessels in the conjunctiva, thereby reducing redness and swelling. This dual action provides quick relief from discomfort associated with allergic reactions, making it effective for managing symptoms triggered by environmental allergens.
