Medicine Description tetracongyra 10ml
tetracongyra 10ml eye drops is a medication that contains Tetryzoline HCl, which acts as a sympathomimetic agent. It works by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors in the vasculature of the conjunctiva, leading to vasoconstriction. This reduces blood flow to the affected area, resulting in a decrease in redness and swelling. By narrowing the dilated blood vessels in the eyes, tetracongyra helps alleviate the appearance of eye irritation and redness, providing symptomatic relief.
