Caftadin Eye Drop 0.25% contains Alcaftadine, a selective antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer used for the prevention and treatment of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. It provides effective relief from common eye allergy symptoms such as itching, redness, watering, burning, and irritation caused by seasonal or perennial allergens, including pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold.

Alcaftadine works by blocking histamine H1, H2, and H4 receptors, which play a key role in the body's allergic response. It also stabilizes mast cells, preventing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators that trigger allergic symptoms. This dual mechanism not only relieves existing symptoms but also helps prevent allergic reactions from worsening.

Caftadin Eye Drop acts directly on the surface of the eye, providing targeted relief with minimal systemic absorption. It is suitable for adults and children of the appropriate age as recommended by a healthcare professional. With once-daily administration in most cases, it offers convenient, long-lasting relief throughout the day, helping patients maintain comfort during allergy seasons.

For best results, Caftadin Eye Drop should be used regularly as prescribed, especially during periods of high allergen exposure. It is intended for allergic eye conditions and is not effective against bacterial or viral eye infections.
