What are Hayfever Eye Drops?

This belongs to a group of medicines called anti-allergens. It works by stopping the release of the natural substances in your eyes that can lead to an allergic reaction. Signs of an allergic reaction include itchy, watery, red or inflamed eyes and puffy eyelids. These symptoms usually occur in the late spring or early summer when pollen from grasses or trees comes into contact with the eyes of people who are sensitive to them. This condition is sometimes called ‘Hayfever eyes’ or by its medical term: seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.

The active substance is sodium cromoglicate. Every 1 ml of eye drops contains 20 mg of sodium cromoglicate (2.0% w/v). One drop contains 0.7 mg of sodium cromoglicate.
