Looking for a quick fix for red, tired eyes? Optrex Bloodshot Eye Drops provide temporary relief of redness of the eye due to minor eye irritations.
The gentle formula quickly removes redness by its astringent action and restores the normal flow of blood to remove redness, letting you get on with your day.
What causes a bloodshot eye?
The eyes are one of the most sensitive parts on our body and can easily get red and bloodshot from dust, smoke or chlorine in swimming pools. This means that more blood then usual will flow through those small vessels which causes them to stinge as well!

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking this medicine if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, suspect you are pregnant or breast-feeding

Lemsip Max Strength Sachets (Paracetamol And Phenylephrine)
Paracetamol Is To Relieve Pain By Reducing The Sensitise Nerve Endings, So That When That Area Is Stimulated It Causes Pain (Presumably To Prevent Us From Causing Further Harm To The Area).
Paracetamol Reduces Fever By Affecting An Area Of The Brain That Regulates Our Body Temperature (The Hypothalamic Heat-Regulating Centre).
Phenylephrine Relieves A Blocked Nose By Causing The Blood Vessels In The Linings Of The Nasal Passages And Sinuses To Contract And Narrow. This Decreases Blood Flow Into The Linings Of The Nose And Sinuses, Which Reduces The Feeling Of Congestion And Also Reduces The Production Of Mucus.
