How does it work?

Chemist Directs Opticrom aqueous eye drops alternative contain the active ingredient sodium cromoglicate which is a type of medicine used to relieve the symptoms of allergies.

 

Sodium cromoglicate eye drops are used to relieve the symptoms of eye allergies such as hayfever and helps by reducing allergic responses.

 

Symptoms

Inflammation of the eye causes the typical symptoms of an eye allergy - redness, itching and a watery discharge.

 

Sodium cromoglicate prevents the substances that cause the inflammation, eg histamine, from being released when the cells encounter an allergen. This prevents the allergic response and relieves the symptoms of the allergy.

 

Sodium cromoglicate is used to reduce the symptoms of eye allergies such as hayfever. They provide relief from red, itchy, watery and puffy eyes, and work best when they are used regularly to prevent the allergy, even when you don't have symptoms.

 

What is it used for?

Allergic conjunctivitis.

 

 

 

 Frequently Asked Questions:

 

1. How can you sell this item for so much less than my local chemist?

 

We keep our overheads to a minimum, ensure the margins added are fair and work on larger sale volumes than a local chemist. All these measures provide major cost saving benefits to the consumer. Our prices on this medication are based on the non branded version of Opticrom. Opticrom's active ingredient is Sodium cromoglycate which actually provides the desired effects.

 

2. Does your medication give me the same effect as the branded version?

 

Absolutely. When a pharmaceutical company develops a drug it is given unique rights to sell it for a number of years. Once that ends any company can make it providing they meet the regulations. Therefore, over the counter drugs have identical medical properties regardless of brand, packaging and advertising.

 

The key is the ‘active' ingredient - the chemical that actually treats the symptom.  Protections and quality control apply equally to all branded and non branded products. The non branded product must meet the same quality standards as the branded version. Packaging may vary, but the items are identical and the results will be the same.

 

Dr. Chris Steele GP, the resident Doctor on ITV1's This Morning agrees:

 

“The key is the active ingredient. Look on the brand you know, note the active ingredient and then check it's the same one at the same dose as the generic brand."

 

Cromolux relieves the symptoms of redness, discomfort and discharge from the affected eye(s). Cromolux Eye Drops contain sodium cromoglycate which prevent and treat these symptoms. Cromolux Eye Drops is a generic version of Opticrom Eye Drops.

I use Hayfever Eye Drops alongside antihistamine tablets , as a solution to my hayfever , i have also used these along with Brochlor eye cream as i have suffered with conjunctivitus , worked reallly well with both , eye drops do sting a little bit when first applied but doesn't last long.

I had allergic conjunctivitis and this is what my doctor recommends. These drops also refresh my eyes. They are convenient to carry around and my eye doctor uses them too! So its is pretty safe and highly recommended.
