Uses of Sunephrine Eye Drop
Benefits of Sunephrine Eye Drop
In Eye examination
Sunephrine Eye Drop is a medicine that helps to increase the size of the pupil of the eye before any treatment of the eye. This enables better eye examination and a thorough understanding of the structures in the eye, thus aiding in the treatment. During certain eye surgeries and examinations, this treatment can help to maintain the shape of the eye and to protect it from injury during the procedure.
In Common cold
Sunephrine Eye Drop is a combination medicine that effectively relieves symptoms of the common cold, such as a blocked nose, runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, and congestion or stuffiness. It helps loosen thick mucus, making it easier to cough out. It also shrinks the blood vessels and provides rapid relief that lasts for several hours. These actions make breathing easier.
Sunephrine Eye Drop is safe and effective. It usually starts to work within a few minutes, and the effects can last up to several hours. Take it as prescribed by your doctor, and do not stop using it unless you are advised otherwise.
