Lomide Eye Drops 10mL (S2)

Lomide Eye Drops are an effective allergy eye treatment designed to relieve and prevent symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis such as red, itchy, watery eyes. Each drop contains lodoxamide trometamol, a mast cell stabiliser that works by reducing the release of histamine and other inflammatory mediators in the eye.

This 10mL bottle provides convenient dosing for daily use and long-lasting protection from eye allergy flare-ups. Lomide is classified as a Pharmacy Medicine (S2), meaning it is available only through pharmacies to ensure safe and appropriate use.
