Optihist Eye Drop is a combination of four medicines: Chlorpheniramine Maleate, Naphazoline, Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate, and Boric Acid.

• Chlorpheniramine Maleate: An antiallergic that blocks the action of certain chemical messengers responsible for red, itchy, teary eyes.
• Naphazoline: A decongestant that narrows the blood vessels in the eye to relieve inflammation (redness and swelling).
• Zinc Sulphate Monohydrate and Boric Acid: Antiseptics that treat bacterial infection in the eyes and relieve irritation.
