Emadine Information

Emadine is an anti-histamine drug of the second generation. It is used as an ophthalmic solution and is administered in the form of eye drops only. The drug is used for relieving the signs and symptoms associated with allergic conjunctivitis. The drug is a selective antagonist of histamine H1 receptor. Thus, after ocular administration, this generic drug inhibits the vascular permeability into the conjunctiva, which is stimulated by the histamine receptor. This way the drug induces an anti-allergic effect in the eyes. Thus, the drug helps in controlling the allergic symptoms. Cheap Emadine is readily/easily available in the market (at any pharmacy).
