When used topically in the form of eye drops, it reduces swelling of the conjunctiva, sensations of irritation, burning, soreness, itching of the mucous membrane of the eyes, and reduces lacrimation. When applied topically in the form of nasal drops, it narrows the small arterioles of the nasal passages, reduces secretion and reduces swelling of the nasal mucosa. The effects of tetrizoline develop within a few minutes and last 4 – 8 hours. When used topically, tetrizoline is almost not absorbed.

Indications

Nasal drops: swelling of the nasal mucosa in people who suffer from rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, hay fever; if it is necessary to carry out therapeutic and diagnostic measures to reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa.

Eye drops: swelling of the conjunctiva, irritation of the conjunctiva (when exposed to physical and chemical factors, including dust, smoke, chlorinated water, cosmetics, bright light, contact lenses), secondary hyperemia in allergic eye diseases, catarrhal conjunctivitis.

Conjunctivally, 2 - 3 times a day, 1 - 2 drops in each eye in the lower conjunctival sac. Do not use continuously for more than 4 days without consulting an ophthalmologist. If there is no improvement within 2 days, then therapy should be discontinued.

The dosage regimen should be strictly observed. Overdose and prolonged use should be avoided. With prolonged use there is a risk of developing toxic effects. The possibility of overdose, which is caused by systemic absorption of tetrizoline, is increased in young children (especially if accidentally swallowed). Tetrizoline eye drops should only be used for mild eye irritation. If hyperemia and irritation of the conjunctiva are associated with an infectious process, chemical injury to the cornea, or the presence of a foreign body, then consultation with an ophthalmologist is necessary. If within 2 days after starting to use eye drops, the symptoms of the disease become more pronounced, persist, or an adverse reaction develops, then it is necessary to discontinue the drug and consult an ophthalmologist. If you develop a headache, intense pain in the eyes, blurred vision, redness of the eyes, sudden appearance of floating spots in front of the eyes, double vision or pain when exposed to light, you should immediately consult a doctor. Contact lenses are removed before instillation of the drug and reinstalled 15 minutes after it. Due to the possible deterioration of the clarity of soft contact lenses, direct contact of eye drops with them should be avoided. During therapy, care should be taken when working with machinery and driving a car (after using eye drops, blurred vision and pupil dilation may occur).

VizOptic eye drops: reviews of the drug

For conjunctivitis, VizOptic drops were prescribed. I liked it very much. The effect after use really came quickly, the pain went away. The discharge began to stop in the evening. By the next morning there was nothing left of the conjunctivitis. I would like to note that I had allergic conjunctivitis, which, as it turned out, was an allergy to the new mascara.

I often suffer from dry eyes. As a result, itching, burning, and discomfort when blinking appear. I tried many drops, some worked, but turned out to be unreasonably expensive. These relieve symptoms well, and the price is quite decent. It happens to me that my eyes seem to swell, but after instillation my eyes look great. In general, I myself am an allergy sufferer. All my symptoms are caused either by incorrectly selected cosmetics or by dust. Good drops, they do their job perfectly. It's good that you can buy it without a prescription.

Dry eye syndrome is familiar to many computer owners; of course, it can occur due to many factors. But it is the computer that is the trouble for our eyes. I’m no exception; by evening my eyes seem to crumble into small pieces. The burning and itching does not go away. After consulting with an ophthalmologist, I purchased VizOptic drops. Unfortunately, they didn't help me at all. The discomfort did not go away after use. There are also side effects. And the price is not the lowest. I won't advise.

After buying a new mascara, an allergy appeared, I thought it would itch and go away on its own. But it was not there. I had to go to the doctor with red eyes, he prescribed VizOptic. After using it, the symptoms went away, but after a few days everything came back again. I don’t know whether I have unsolvable problems, or whether the remedy is simply weak. After changing to another drug, everything returned to normal.

Good drops help me cope with the redness of my eyes that occurs after a hard day or working at the computer. There are cheaper drops, but there are also expensive analogues. Therefore, the price, I think, is average. Unfortunately, they do not have any therapeutic effect, they only relieve symptoms. I had no allergic reactions or side effects.

I’ve been familiar with the drops for a long time, they perfectly tidy up my eyes. They act quickly and relieve symptoms well. The thing is that I like to sit at the computer late into the night, and in the morning my eyes become red from lack of sleep. So you have to mask it with drops. It is enough to drop it once and the redness will decrease. The price is affordable, the result is good, no allergic reactions were noticed.

For the last few years I have been wearing glasses due to vision problems. I thought that the redness and fatigue due to the fact that the glasses were not anti-glare and the sun were the result of my problems. Then I realized that this was not connected at all. Because I purchased other glasses with anti-glare effect. I can’t say that I spend a lot of time at the computer or TV. VizOptic drops are a good analogue to the expensive Visin, but they work the same way. Redness and fatigue go away very quickly. After just one application the result is visible. You can buy it without a doctor’s prescription; there have never been any reactions to the drug. The price is affordable.

3 comments to the article

Due to the nature of my work, I spend a lot of time in front of a computer monitor. Therefore, the eyes, of course, get tired. A year ago I asked the pharmacy for an inexpensive analogue of Visina. I was offered Visoptik. These eye drops cost 2, or even 3 times less. I can't say that these eye drops work better than the expensive ones. But not worse, that's for sure. Therefore, I don’t see any point in overpaying.

You know, I also think that there is no point in paying much more for the same effect. Although someone may have a different opinion on this matter. When my husband started working as a welder, VizOptic drops helped us a lot. After the first day of work, his eyes were very inflamed. And friends advised me to use these drops. I was simply amazed at such a quick result. In the morning everything was gone. Well, very good drops.

It’s simply impossible to disagree; it’s actually a wonderful drug. The fact is that I have an eternal problem: constantly red eyes. I react to both the wind and the bright rays of the sun; my eyes quickly get tired even when watching TV. I used to use Vizin, but recently it has become very expensive, so I decided to try VizOptic and, you know, I was not disappointed. The quality of the drops is excellent. the redness goes away very quickly. and lasts them for a long time. In general, I am one hundred percent satisfied with the quality and price.
