Naphazoline HCl（Cat No.:A000746）is a potent alpha-adrenergic agonist commonly used as a vasoconstrictor in over-the-counter eye drops and nasal decongestants. It works by constricting blood vessels in the conjunctiva or nasal passages, reducing redness in the eyes and relieving nasal congestion. Naphazoline HCl provides fast-acting relief for conditions like allergic conjunctivitis, eye irritation, and sinus congestion. Due to its rapid onset and localized action, it is effective for short-term use. However, prolonged use can lead to rebound congestion or irritation, so it’s recommended for temporary relief.
