1. What ASCOTODIN is and what it is used for
ASCOTODIN is a combination of two active ingredients: N-methylbenzochinoline methyl sulfate and tonsilamine
hydrochloride. N-methylbenzochinoline methyl sulfate helps to protect the eye from damage caused by
ultraviolet rays, due to the sun or other sources. Tonsilamine hydrochloride belongs to a group of medicines
called antihistamines which are used for the treatment of allergies and in particular, to control itching.
This medicine is indicated:
- to prevent irritation and lesions caused by exposure to light for a long period of time (occupational and occasional photoophthalmic lesions);
- to relieve irritation from light diffraction in the eye in people who use contact lenses;
- for the treatment of eye diseases that have as a common symptom sensitivity to light (photophobia) (actinic and electric ophthalmias - unpleasant or painful sensations from too much light, keratitis - inflammation of the cornea and iritis - inflammation of the iris).
See your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after 7 days.
