A member asked:

Is naphazoline hydrochloride an antihistamine?

Yes: It is a pharmaceutical , formerly available only by prescription, but now over the counter since the drug went generic. It is useful and frequently effective.

Not an antihistamine: Naphazoline is a vasoconstrictor and an Alpha agonist. It is not an antihistamine, although it can be combined with one.
