● Features
Suitable even for small children※
※1 year old and above
A stye occurs when bacteria around you enter the sebaceous glands of the eyelid, causing swelling and inflammation. Conjunctivitis often occurs when bacteria infect the conjunctiva, causing redness of the white of the eye and increased eye discharge.
● Sulfa agent to suppress the growth of causative bacteria
● Dipotassium glycyrrhizinate to reduce inflammation
● Chlorpheniramine maleate with antihistamine action to stop itching
● Natural vitamin E to promote blood circulation
Retentive design that keeps active ingredients on the surface of the eye for a long time
■ Lack of sleep or fatigue can lower resistance, making it easier to develop styes or conjunctivitis. For styes and conjunctivitis, use "Rohto Antibacterial Eye Drops EX" and get plenty of rest.
