What is Ivycrom Eye Drops?
Ivycrom Eye Drops are a sterile ophthalmic solution used to prevent and treat allergic eye conditions. The active ingredient, Sodium Cromoglycate (2% w/v), works as a mast cell stabilizer. Unlike some other eye drops that only treat symptoms, Ivycrom helps prevent the release of natural substances in the eyes that cause allergic reactions.
It is particularly effective for people suffering from allergic conjunctivitis, whether it occurs seasonally (like hay fever) or throughout the year.
Uses of Ivycrom Eye Drops
Ivycrom is primarily indicated for the following ocular conditions:
- Allergic Conjunctivitis: Relief from redness, itching, and swelling of the eyes.
- Spring Catarrh: Management of severe seasonal eye allergies.
- Eye Irritation: Soothing watery eyes caused by environmental allergens like dust, pollen, or pet dander.
How to Use Ivycrom Eye Drops
For the best results, Ivycrom should be used regularly as prescribed. The standard dosage is usually 1 to 2 drops in each eye, 4 times daily.
- Wash your hands thoroughly before use.
- Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid.
- Hold the dropper bottle above the eye without touching the eye or eyelid.
- Squeeze one drop into the pocket formed by the lower lid.
- Close your eye for a minute and apply gentle pressure to the inner corner of the eye.
- Repeat for the other eye if necessary.
Note: Discard the bottle one month after first opening to ensure sterility.
