Field of use

Acute aid - relief in the event of cases

Vividrin Azelastin 0.5 mg/ml eye drops (pack size: 6 ml) is an antihistamine for the treatment and prevention of symptoms of seasonally occurring allergic complaints in the eye (seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in hay fever) in adults and children from 4 years , as well as for the treatment of symptoms of non-seasonal (perennial) allergic complaints in the eye (perennial allergic conjunctivitis) in adults and adolescents from the age of 12. Not suitable for the treatment of infections of the eye.

Mode of action

In allergies, mast cells pour the inflammatory messenger histamine and thus trigger an immune response. The well-tolerated active ingredient azelastin hydrochloride acts triple against the symptoms: it inhibits the histamine receptors and reduces allergic symptoms such as itching or redness of the eyes. At the same time, the defense cells are stabilized and the release of histamine is reduced.
