Uses of Naphcon Forte Drops

Naphcon Forte Drops is used for short-term relief of red, itchy and watery eyes caused by allergies such as hay fever, dust or pet dander.

How Naphcon Forte Drops works

This eye drop combines two ingredients. Phenylephrine is a decongestant that narrows the small, swollen blood vessels on the surface of the eye, reducing redness. Pheniramine is an antihistamine that blocks histamine released during an allergic reaction, easing itching and watering.
