Ingredients and Warnings

Active and Inactive Ingredients

The active ingredient in Visine Original is Tetrahydrozoline Hydrochloride 0.05%. This compound acts as a vasoconstrictor, meaning it constricts the blood vessels in the eye. This constriction reduces blood flow, thereby diminishing redness and relieving the appearance of bloodshot eyes. Inactive ingredients include benzalkonium chloride (used as a preservative), sodium chloride, boric acid, and other components to maintain pH and tonicity. Always carefully review the complete ingredient list to check for any potential allergic reactions or sensitivities before use.

Important Safety Information

Warnings and Precautions:

• Do not use Visine Original if you have glaucoma or a known sensitivity to any ingredients.
• Discontinue use and consult a doctor if you experience eye pain, changes in vision, or if redness or irritation worsens or persists for more than 72 hours.
• Overuse can lead to increased redness of the eye. Follow dosage instructions carefully.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• For external use only.
• Do not use the eye drops if the solution changes color or becomes cloudy.

If you have any concerns or questions, or if symptoms persist, consult with a healthcare professional. For more information, you can also refer to the Health Canada website for additional details on eye health and medications.
