Naphcon Solution

Generic Name: Naphazoline Ophthalmic Solution (naf-AZ-oh-leen)
Brand Name: Examples include Naphcon and VasoClear

Naphcon Solution is used for:

Temporarily relief of redness due to minor eye irritation. It also protects against further irritation or dryness of the eyes due to smoke, sun glare, swimming, smog, or contact lenses.

Naphcon Solution is a decongestant eye drop. It works by increasing fluid drainage from the eye, dilating the pupil, and narrowing the blood vessels of the eye.

you have narrow-angle glaucoma
you are taking furazolidone or have taken monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors (eg, phenelzine) within the last 14 days
