Eye Itch Relief

Eye Itch Relief (for the eyes) is used in adults and children who are at least 3 years old to temporarily relieve itching of the eyes caused by allergies to dust, pollen, grass, animals, or other allergens.

Eye Itch Relief may also be used for reasons not mentioned in this medication guide.

Follow all instructions on the label and package. Use exactly as directed.

You should not use Eye Itch Relief if you are allergic to it, or if you have:

• eye irritation caused by wearing contact lenses.

Ask a doctor before using Eye Itch Relief if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Do not allow a young child to use Eye Itch Relief without help from an adult.

Get emergency medical help if you have signs of an allergic reaction: hives, difficult breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Eye Itch Relief may cause serious side effects. Stop using Eye Itch Relief and call your doctor right away if you have:

• eye pain or changes in vision;
• eye itching that gets worse or lasts longer than 72 hours;
• severe burning, stinging, or eye irritation after using the eye drops; or
• signs of eye infection--swelling, redness, severe discomfort, crusting or drainage.

Less serious side effects may be more likely, and you may have none at all.

This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

Use exactly as directed on the label, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Do not use while wearing soft contact lenses. Eye Itch Relief may contain a preservative that can permanently stain the lenses. Wait at least 10 minutes before inserting your contact lenses.

Wash your hands before using eye medication.

To apply the eye drops: Pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket and squeeze a drop into this pocket. Close your eyes for 1 or 2 minutes.

Use only the prescribed number of drops.

Wait at least 5 minutes before using any other eye drops.

Do not touch the dropper tip or place it directly on your eye. A contaminated dropper can infect your eye and lead to serious vision problems.

Call your pharmacist if the medicine looks cloudy, has changed colors or has particles in it.

Each single-use vial is for one use only (in both eyes). Store the unused vials in the original foil pouch and protect from light. Throw the vial away after one use, even if there is still medicine left inside.

Store at room temperature, in an upright position and tightly closed. Do not freeze.

Use the medicine as soon as possible, but skip the missed dose if it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not use two doses at once.

Seek emergency medical help or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222 if someone has accidentally swallowed the medicine.

Do not use other eye medications unless your doctor instructs you to.

Medicine used in the eyes is not likely to be affected by other drugs you use. However, many drugs can interact. Tell your doctor about all your current medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
