According to the pharmaceutical industry on November 6, it is recommended to prepare related over-the-counter medicines during the change of seasons, as it is necessary to be ready for symptoms of various conditions such as the common cold, dry eyes, and allergic rhinitis.


First, in cold weather, increased use of heating systems makes people more susceptible to dry eyes, leading to a rise in the use of eye drops. Hyundai Pharm has launched a general pharmaceutical product called 'Looping Eye Drops,' which quickly and conveniently relieves eye dryness. Looping Eye Drops contains hypromellose as its main ingredient, which helps lubricate the eyes and relieve dryness, along with potassium chloride and sodium chloride, which are similar to natural tears. In addition, sodium hyaluronate, which contains a large amount of moisture and provides viscosity inside the eye to support smooth activity, is also included as an additive. Notably, since it contains no preservatives, there is no risk of corneal damage, and it can be used even while wearing contact lenses.


Cold medicines are also being released in various forms. Dongwha Pharm introduced 'PancolH,' a comprehensive cold medicine in the form of a tea. PancolH is a product that is dissolved in warm water and consumed like tea, helping with recovery from cold symptoms by encouraging sufficient fluid intake, which is recommended for cold patients. To improve medication adherence, a natural yuzu flavor has been applied, and the product is packaged in individual sticks for added convenience.


During the autumn transition, interest in rhinitis treatments also increases due to various factors such as dry air, sudden temperature changes, and pollen. In response, Ilyang Pharm has newly launched 'Allerade Zero Tab 120mg,' which helps relieve symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This product helps alleviate symptoms such as itching, sneezing, and runny nose caused by allergic rhinitis. Its main ingredient, fexofenadine hydrochloride, effectively suppresses allergic reactions by blocking the action of histamine. In particular, it does not interact with other medications, making it safe for patients who are taking other drugs.
