Description

How do Optilast Eye Drops Work?

Optilast Eye Drops contain azelastine hydrochloride, which blocks the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. By inhibiting histamine receptors, Optilast helps reduce the inflammation and discomfort associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
