Naphazoline is a sympathomimetic drug which stimulates the α-adrenergic receptors. Instillation to the eye causes constriction of corneal vessels, inhibits hyperemia and creates to the patient a sense of immediate relief. Naphazoline in low concentrations is used in minor local eye irritations. SEPTOBORE combines the adrenergic action of naphazoline with the antiseptic substance boric acid. SEPTOBORE contains a special buffer solution and does not cause eye irritation.
