Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Hay Fever Eye Drops are for the treatment of acute seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.

Route of Administration:

For topical administration to the eye.

Adults, Children and the Elderly

One or two drops into each eye up to four times daily.

Known hypersensitivity to benzalkonium chloride, sodium cromoglycate or other constituents.

The solution should be discarded 1 month after first opening the bottle or if any turbidity develops. Do not use if the bottle has been opened prior to receipt. Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Eye Drops and Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Hay Fever Eye Drops contain benzalkonium chloride. Do not wear soft contact lenses during the period of use.

Transient stinging or blurred vision may occur on instillation. Do not drive or operate machinery until proper vision is restored.

Transient stinging and burning may occur after instillation, other symptoms of local irritation have been reported rarely.

As sodium cromoglycate is absorbed only to a very limited extent from eye drops, no action other than medical observation should be necessary.

Sodium cromoglycate has neither anti-histaminic or anti-inflammatory activity. Evidence suggests that sodium cromoglycate inhibits the release of mediators of the allergic reaction by stabilising the membranes of sensitised mast cells.

Due to lipid insolubility, sodium cromoglycate is poorly absorbed following administration to the eye. In normal volunteers approximately 0.03% is systemically absorbed. Absorbed sodium cromoglycate is excreted unchanged in the bile and urine.

Trace amounts of sodium cromoglycate have been detected in the aqueous humor of rabbits for up to 24 hours after treatment.

The results of the studies do not add to the information needed by the prescriber, consequently, they are not repeated in the SPC.

Sodium cromoglycate forms insoluble complexes with metal ions resulting in solution turbidity.

The following instructions for use are included in the patient leaflet.

1. Before using your Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Eye Drops (Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Hay Fever Eye Drops) you should wash your hands.

2. You may find it helps to sit in front of a mirror, so that you can see what you are doing. Gently pull down your lower eyelid and carefully place one or two Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Eye Drops (Кромицил-СОЛОфарм Hay Fever Eye Drops) in the space between the eyelid and the eye. Take care not to touch the dropper with your eye or fingers.

3. Release the eyelid and blink a few times to make sure the liquid covers the whole surface of the eye.

4. Repeat the procedure with the other eye and then replace the cap on the bottle.
