About Bilafem OD Solution

Bilafem OD Solution is used to treat various kinds of allergic symptoms like blocked/runny/itchy nose, red/watery eyes, and skin rashes. An allergy is an immune system response to foreign elements, typically not harmful to your body. These foreign elements are known as ‘allergens’. Allergic condition varies from person to person. Some people may be allergic to certain foods, as well as seasonal allergies like hay fever. At the same time, others might be allergic to pollen or pet dander.
