Overview

Zinc sulfate is an astringent and weak antiseptic.

Tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride, an imidazoline-derivative sympathomimetic amine, is a vasoconstrictor.

USES: Tetrahydrozoline is a decongestant used to relieve redness in the eyes caused by minor eye irritations (such as smog, swimming, dust, or smoke). It belongs to a class of drugs known as sympathomimetic amines. It works by temporarily narrowing the blood vessels in the eye.

Some brands of tetrahydrozoline eye drops may contain lubricants. Lubricants help protect the eyes from more irritation and dryness.
