When pollen or other hayfever triggers come into contact with the eyes, the body releases histamine, which causes the characteristic itching, redness, soreness and watering associated with hayfever. By stabilising mast cells and blocking this histamine release before symptoms develop, Sodium Cromoglicate addresses the underlying allergic response rather than simply masking the symptoms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, treatment should be started before the hayfever season begins and continued throughout the season. The drops are applied four times daily to maintain a steady protective effect. The product is for the relief of hayfever eye symptoms only   if symptoms are thought to be caused by other allergens such as pet dander or dust mites, a doctor or pharmacist should be consulted before use. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures of Opticrom Hayfever Eye Drops 10ml\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSodium Cromoglicate 2% w\/v (20mg per ml): mast cell stabiliser that prevents histamine release in eye tissue to tackle the cause of hayfever eye symptoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelieves itching, redness, soreness and watering of the eyes associated with hayfever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor adults and children aged 6 years and over; four-times-daily dosing regimen for sustained seasonal protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscard four weeks after first opening; do not use with soft contact lenses due to Benzalkonium Chloride content\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-start##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10ml eye drop solution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive ingredient: Sodium Cromoglicate 2% w\/v (20mg per ml)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscard four weeks after first opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore below 30°C away from direct sunlight in the outer carton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e##accordion-item-end##\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdults and children aged 6 years and over for the relief of eye symptoms of hayfever only.
