EnglishTetryzoline Hydrochloride
Tetryzoline is a sympathomimetic agent that acts as an alpha-adrenergic agonist. It constricts blood vessels in the eye, reducing redness and swelling.
Tetryzoline is indicated for the temporary relief of redness of the eye due to minor eye irritations such as smoke and dust.
The recommended dose of Tetryzoline is one or two drops in the affected eye(s) up to four times daily as needed. Tetryzoline should not be used for longer than 72 hours without consulting a doctor.
The most common adverse reactions associated with the use of Tetryzoline include:
- Blurred vision
- Eye dryness
- Burning sensation
- Stinging sensation
- Pupil dilation
