Naphazoline Nitrate + Chlorpheniramine MaleateThird Party Manufacturing in India

Naphazoline Nitrate is an imidazoline derivative that acts as a direct-acting alpha-adrenergic receptor agonist on the vascular smooth muscle of the conjunctiva. Upon topical administration, naphazoline binds to alpha-1 and alpha-2 adrenoceptors on conjunctival arterioles and venules, triggering a signaling cascade that induces vasoconstriction of the conjunctival microvasculature, reducing hyperemia, chemosis, and eyelid edema. The nitrate salt form is preferred for certain formulations due to its compatibility with other active ingredients and buffer systems. Chlorpheniramine Maleate competitively and reversibly blocks histamine H1 receptors on the conjunctival epithelium and vascular endothelium. By preventing histamine from binding to its receptor, chlorpheniramine inhibits vasodilation, increased vascular permeability, and activation of sensory nerve endings. The dual mechanism provides rapid relief from both the vascular and nervous components of the allergic response.
