Mechanism of action

Naphazoline constricts the vascular system of the conjunctiva. It is presumed this effect is due to direct action of the drug upon the α-(excitory) receptors of the vascular smooth muscle. It is characterised by a relatively long duration of action and belongs to the imidazoline class of sympathomimetics.
