Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Phenylephrine HCl 2.5% Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication, lubrication, or irrigation to the eyes. This formulation is indicated for the treatment of various ophthalmic conditions including allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and iritis. It is also utilized to reduce intraocular pressure in patients diagnosed with glaucoma.

However, it is crucial to note that this formulation is contraindicated in patients with narrow-angle glaucoma or in those with known hypersensitivity to phenylephrine or any of the components of the formulation. It should also be avoided in patients with severe hypertension or severe coronary artery disease due to potential health risks.

Patients are advised to refrain from wearing contact lenses while using this formulation and to discontinue use immediately if any signs of irritation or inflammation occur. Concurrent use of other ophthalmic medications while using this formulation is not recommended. It is always advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for any questions or concerns regarding the use of this medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Phenylephrine HCl 2.5% Ophthalmic Solution is a sterile liquid formulation specifically designed for ocular use. It is dispensed in an eye dropper bottle for precise and controlled application, delivering medication to treat a range of ophthalmic conditions. This solution is used to treat eye conditions such as allergic conjunctivitis, vernal keratoconjunctivitis, and iritis. It functions by constricting the blood vessels in the eye, thereby reducing redness and swelling, and also helps to alleviate itching and irritation.

Additionally, Phenylephrine HCl 2.5% Ophthalmic Solution is used in the treatment of glaucoma, a condition characterized by high pressure inside the eye. It works by decreasing the amount of fluid in the eye, which in turn helps to reduce the pressure. As with all medications, it is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare professional carefully, and not to use more or less than the recommended amount.

Furthermore, this solution is also used to treat dry eye syndrome, a condition in which the eyes do not produce enough tears. It functions by increasing the production of tears, which helps to alleviate the symptoms of dry eye. As always, the solution should be applied to the affected eye(s) as directed by your healthcare professional. It is important to follow the instructions carefully and not to use more or less than the recommended amount.

If you have any questions about how to use this product, please consult with your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance and instructions to ensure the safe and appropriate use of this medication.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
