How does the active ingredient in the medicine work?
If there is contact with allergy-causing substances, e.g. pollen, the body's own messenger substance histamine is released, which leads to allergic reactions. The active ingredient prevents the allergic reaction by suppressing the effect of histamine. It also prevents the renewed release of histamine. In this way, the active ingredient combats unpleasant allergic symptoms such as itching, redness or swelling.

What should you watch out for?
- Even when used as intended, your ability to react may be impaired, particularly in higher doses or in combination with alcohol. Be especially careful when driving or operating machines (including in the home) that could injure you.
- If you use several eye drops/eye ointments, you must wait a while between applications.
- There may be medicines with which interactions occur. You should therefore generally tell your doctor or pharmacist about any other medicine you are already taking before starting treatment with a new medicine. This also applies to medicines that you buy yourself, use only occasionally, or that you have used some time ago.
