❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What is the biggest difference from FX Neo and FX V Plus?
A. FX AL contains "sodium cromoglicate," which fundamentally suppresses the release of allergy-causing substances (histamine). It is a formula specialized for allergy symptoms such as pollen and house dust. Since FX Neo and V Plus do not contain allergy-specific ingredients, FX AL is more effective for itching.
Q. Can I use it while wearing contact lenses?
A. It cannot be used while wearing either hard or soft lenses. Please remove your lenses before applying. If you want to use it while wearing contacts, please use Sante FX Contact.
Q. Can I use it outside of pollen season?
A. Yes. It covers various allergens such as house dust and animal hair all year round. As the name "AL (All season)" suggests, it can be used regardless of the season.
Q. How many times a day can I use it?
A. The dosage is 1 to 2 drops per application, 4 to 6 times a day. Other FX series are used 5 to 6 times a day, but FX AL is 4 to 6 times.
Q. Can children use it?
A. It can be used under the guidance and supervision of a guardian. Please consult a doctor before using it on infants.
Q. Does it work for redness too?
A. Aminocaproic acid and sodium cromoglicate are effective for allergic redness (inflammation-related). However, since tetrahydrozoline hydrochloride (a vasoconstrictor) is not included, FX Neo and V Plus may have a faster effect on redness.
