Refresh Eye Itch Relief

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

Refresh 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 Refresh 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 Refresh Eye Itch Relief if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

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

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

Refresh Eye Itch Relief can cause serious side effects. Stop using Refresh Eye Itch Relief and call your doctor right away if you experience:

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

Less serious side effects may be more common, and you may not have any at all.

This is not a complete list of side effects, and others may happen. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You can report side effects to the 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. Refresh 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 you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose. Do not use two doses at one time.

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

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

Medicine used in the eyes is not likely to interact with other drugs you are using. However, many drugs can have interactions. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are currently taking, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products.
