About Emadine

Emadine is a clear eye-drop solution. It contains the active substance emedastine (0.5 mg/ml). Emadine is available in a bottle and in single-dose containers.

What it is used for

Emadine is used to treat the symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (inflammation of the eyes caused by pollen in patients with hayfever). These symptoms include itching, redness and swelling. Emadine is used in adults and children aged three years and older. The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription.

How it is used

Emadine is given as one drop in the affected eye(s) twice a day. Its effects have not been studied beyond six weeks. If more than one type of eye treatment is being used, each one should be given at least 10 minutes apart and any eye ointments should be given last. Emadine is not recommended for patients older than 65 years or in patients who have problems with their liver or kidneys.

How it works

The active substance in Emadine, emedastine, is an antihistamine. It works by blocking the receptors that histamine normally attaches to. Histamine is a substance in the body that causes allergic symptoms. When the receptors are blocked, histamine cannot have its effect, which leads to a decrease in the symptoms of allergy.
