- If several eye drops/eye ointments are used, an interval is required between applications.

How does the ingredient of the medicine work?
If you come into contact with allergenic substances, e.g. pollen, the body's own messenger substance histamine is released, which leads to allergic reactions. The active ingredient prevents the allergic reaction by suppressing the effect of histamine. It also prevents the renewed release of histamine. In this way, the active ingredient combats the unpleasant allergic symptoms such as itching, redness or swelling.
