Uses of K-FEN Ophthalmic Solution

Benefits of K-FEN Ophthalmic Solution

In Prevention of Asthma

K-FEN 0.5 Eye Drop works by reducing and preventing swelling and inflammation in the lungs. It prevents the symptoms of asthma, such as tightness in chest, wheezing, breathlessness, and coughing. This allows you to carry out daily activities more easily and confidently.

It may take a few weeks for K-FEN 0.5 Eye Drop to show full effects. Keep taking it regularly as prescribed even if you do not have any symptoms (this means it is working). Do not stop taking it unless the doctor advises you to, otherwise you are more likely to suffer from symptoms. This medicine will not stop an asthma attack that has already started.

Side effects of K-FEN Ophthalmic Solution

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them

Common side effects of K-FEN

  • Eye irritation
  • Punctate keratitis
  • Irritation
  • Agitation
  • Insomnia (difficulty in sleeping)
  • Nervousness

How to use K-FEN Ophthalmic Solution

This medicine is for external use only. Take it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Hold the dropper close to the eye without touching it. Gently squeeze the dropper and place the medicine inside the lower eyelid. Wipe off extra liquid.

How K-FEN Ophthalmic Solution works

K-FEN 0.5 Eye Drop is an antihistamine for the eye that treats allergic symptoms by blocking a certain natural substance (histamine). It is also a mast cell stabilizer that prevents allergic reactions by reducing the release of natural substances that cause an allergic reaction. This relieves eye swelling, discomfort, itching and irritation.
