What Are The Ingredients In Eye Drops? Steroids?
Hi, I was just wondering about the ingredients in eye drops. The product I am currently using has active ingredients of naphazoline hydrochloride and pheniramine maleate. I was just wondering if either one of these two ingredients are steroids or classified in a family of steroids.

Hello,
Thank you for the query.
First content is naphazoline hydrochloride which is sympathomimetic drug used in eye drops as a decongestant to relieve redness,inflammation,itching etc.Secondly Pheniramine maleate which is an antihistaminic also used to relieve sypmtoms of allergies.
So dont worry neither of these is steroid.
Hope this helps.Thank you.
