Olopatadine + Oxychloro Complex is a combined antihistamine and antiseptic solution.
Olopatadine is an H1-receptor antagonist, which essentially means it blocks certain receptors in your body that react to histamine, a compound involved in allergic reactions. By blocking these receptors, it prevents the release of histamine and other substances that trigger inflammation and itching, common symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis.
Oxychloro Complex is an antiseptic agent. It helps to disinfect the solution and may contribute towards reducing inflammation. Together, these two components work in harmony to provide relief from itchy and inflamed eyes caused by allergies.
