Although I have not read the whole thread about the use of these eyedrops I would like to sound some caution with them. I use them sometimes because of several allergies and have been warned by my ophtalmologist to do that only when I really feel it's necessary. When used regularly, they increase the inner pressure in the eyes and this can lead to glaucoma. I just looked at the info for the ones I am using. There is also a warning that there could be negative interactions with MAOIs, tricyclics, alpha and beta receptor blockers. The drops I am using (Austrian product) are containing
diphenhydramine hydrochloride 10.0 mg
naphazoline hydrochloride 5.0 mg
p-hydroxy benzoe acid methylester 6.7 mg
(tried to write these ingredients in English but am not sure if it's correct. Hope you can sort it out.)
