benzalkonium chloride. Hydrochloric acid
and/or sodium hydroxide added to adjust pH. It has a pH of 5.5 to 7.0.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Naphazoline constricts the vascular system of the conjunctiva. It is
presumed that this effect is due to
direct stimulation action of the drug upon the alpha adrenergic
receptors in the arterioles of the
conjunctiva resulting in decreased conjunctival congestion.
Naphalozine belongs to the imidazoline
class of sympathomimetics.
