Nedocromil-Natrium-Augentropfen

About nedocromil sodium eye drops

Allergische Konjunktivitis causes red, watery, itchy eyes. It is caused by exposure to irritants such as plant pollens, pet fur, cosmetics or house dust mite. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis occurs at certain times in a year, a common cause being an allergy to pollen in the Heuschnupfen season. Perennial allergic conjunctivitis persists throughout the year. This is commonly due to an allergy to house dust mite or animal hair.

Nedocromil sodium eye drops can help prevent the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. The drops work by stopping the release of certain natural substances which can lead to an allergic reaction in your eyes. The drops can be prescribed for adults and for older children.

Before using nedocromil sodium eye drops

To make sure that this is the right treatment for you, before you start using nedocromil sodium eye drops it is important that your doctor knows:

• Wenn Sie weiche Kontaktlinsen tragen.

• Wenn Sie schwanger sind oder stillen.

• If you have ever had an allergic reaction to any eye drops.

How to use nedocromil sodium eye drops

1. Waschen Sie Ihre Hände, bevor Sie die Tropfen verwenden.

2. Entfernen Sie den Deckel.

3. Tilt your head back a little and then pull the lower lid of your eye downwards to form a pocket between the eye and the lower eyelid.

4. Halte die Flasche kopfüber in die Nähe deines Auges. Versuche, dein Auge dabei nicht zu berühren.

5. Apply sufficient pressure to the bottle to release one drop into your eye. Only use a second drop if the first drop missed going into your eye.

6. Schließen Sie Ihr Auge für ein bis zwei Minuten und drücken Sie sanft auf die Seite Ihrer Nase, wo der Augenwinkel auf die Nase trifft. Dies hilft, das Abfließen des Tropfens zu verhindern und ihn im Auge zu halten.

7. Wiederholen Sie den Vorgang bei Ihrem anderen Auge.

8. Setzen Sie den Deckel wieder auf.

Das Beste aus Ihrer Behandlung herausholen

• Before you start using the eye drops, read the manufacturer's printed information leaflet from the pack. It will give you more information about the drops, and it will also provide you with a full list of the side-effects which you could experience from using them.

• Please follow the directions your doctor gives to you for using the eye drops. You could be asked to use the drops two, three or four times a day. Put one drop into both eyes for each dose. Try to use the drops at regular intervals throughout the day, and try not to miss any doses. If you are using the drops for hay fever, do not use them continually for more than three months.

• Take care not to touch your eye, fingers, or any other surface with the dropper of the bottle. This could contaminate the drops left in the bottle.

• When you first put the drop into your eye, it may cause blurred vision. This should quickly clear, but make sure you can see clearly again before you drive, or before you use machines or tools.

• Wenn Sie andere Augentropfen verwenden, warten Sie 5-10 Minuten zwischen den Anwendungen. Dies soll verhindern, dass zu viel Flüssigkeit in Ihr Auge gelangt, als es aufnehmen kann. Andernfalls laufen die Tropfen aus Ihrem Auge aus und erzielen nicht die gewünschte Wirkung.

• If your symptoms do not start to improve within a few days, or if they become worse, make another appointment to see a doctor.

• Do not wear soft contact lenses while you are using nedocromil sodium eye drops unless your doctor has advised you otherwise. This is because there is a preservative in bottles of eye drops which can affect soft contact lenses.
