Emadine (Emedastine Difumarate) and/or alternatives

General Information On Emadine

Emadine is an ophthalmic solution that is used for relieving itching, swelling and redness in the eyes due to allergic conjunctivitis. Emedastine belongs to the category of antihistamines, which work by blocking histamines, the natural substances that are responsible for causing allergic reactions. When foreign matters like suspended particles from industrial exhausts or pollen from flowers enters your eyes, your mast cells release histamines, and the flow of blood to the affected areas increases. You can buy Emadine to block H1 histamine receptors into the eyes and thus reduce the effect of histamines. Whether the allergy is seasonal, temporary, or a symptom of conjunctivitis, this drug can be used in patients more than 3 years age.

Side Effects for Emadine

Some mild side effects of Emadine include irritation, burning, itching, dryness and blurred vision in the affected eye. Bad taste in the mouth, mild headache, discomfort in the eyes, unusual dreams, eye staining, and weakness may also occur. Most of these symptoms subside without any medical intervention, but if any of these become intolerable, you need to contact your doctor immediately. An allergic reaction to Emadine can be identified by rash, swelling or itching on the face, tongue, or lips, trouble breathing, or severe dizziness. If you experience any of these allergic reactions, you should immediately stop using the eye drops and seek medical help.

Precautions

Emadine should not be used for treating irritation and redness due to wearing soft contact lenses. You can also buy Emadine if you have a viral, fungal or bacterial eye infection, unless your doctor has advised you to use some anti-infective medicine. As this drug causes unstable or blurred vision temporarily after a few minutes of applying the eye drops, you should not drive a vehicle, operate a machine, or do any such activity unless your vision becomes clear. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should use Emadine only if clearly indicated, because its safety during these conditions has not yet been established. While applying the eye drops, make sure that the dropper tip does not touch any surface, not even your hands or eyes. A contaminated dropper can lead to further infections in your eyes. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before applying Emadine; do not re-insert them before 15 minutes of use.

Emadine Dosage

Your doctor will advise you to apply a single drop of Emadine 4 times a day in the affected eye. Wash your hands and eyes, tilt back your head, pull down your lower eyelid, and insert one drop of the medicine into the eye. Blink your eyes a few times so that the drug can spread evenly into your eyes.

Interactions

Before using any other eye drops or ointments, you should first talk to your doctor to know about the safety of the combination. Apart from that, you should also tell him/her about all the prescription and non-prescription drugs you are using at present, including eye drops, ointments, herbal products and health supplements.
