Phenyltoloxamine is an antihistamine that reduces the natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose.

Acuflex is used to treat runny nose, sneezing, and pain or fever caused by the common cold, flu, or seasonal allergies.

Used as an optical aid in some cases of axial lens opacities.
