How Zoline Eye Drop Works

Zoline is a combination of six medicines: Naphazoline, Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Boric Acid, Sodium Chloride and Zinc Sulfate. Naphazoline is a decongestant which narrows the blood vessels in the eye, thereby reducing redness and inflammation (swelling). Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose is a lubricant similar to natural tears. It provides temporary relief from burning and discomfort in the eye. Chlorpheniramine Maleate is an antiallergic which blocks the action of certain chemical messengers that are responsible for red, itchy, watery eyes. Boric Acid and Zinc Sulfate are antiseptics which treat bacterial infection in the eyes and relieve irritation. Sodium Chloride is a purified salt solution which cleanses the eye and reduces swelling.

How to Use Zoline Eye Drop

This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off the extra liquid.
