Frequently asked questions

What is Minims Phenylephrinhydrochlorid used for?+
Minims Phenylephrinhydrochlorid is an over‑the‑counter eye‑drop formulation containing phenylephrine hydrochloride. It is used to temporarily relieve redness and mild irritation of the eye caused by minor irritants, environmental factors, or fatigue.
How does phenylephrine hydrochloride work in the eye?+
Phenylephrine hydrochloride acts as a selective alpha‑1 adrenergic receptor agonist. By stimulating these receptors on conjunctival blood vessels, it causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow to the ocular surface and diminishes the visible redness associated with irritation.
What is the usual dose of Minims Phenylephrinhydrochlorid?+
The appropriate dosing regimen for Minims Phenylephrinhydrochlorid is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional. Typically, one or two drops are instilled in the affected eye(s) as needed, not exceeding the frequency recommended by the prescriber.
