Which medication is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis?

Moxifloxacin
Azelastine
Dorzolamide
Bimatoprost

The correct answer is: Azelastine

Azelastine is the correct answer. It is an antihistamine that is commonly used to treat allergic conjunctivitis by blocking the effects of histamine. This action helps to reduce itching, redness, and swelling of the eyes associated with allergic reactions. The other options are incorrect: A. Moxifloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic mainly used to treat bacterial infections of the eye and is not indicated for allergic conjunctivitis. C. Dorzolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor eye drop that is typically used to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients and is not indicated for allergic conjunctivitis. D. Bimatoprost is a prostaglandin analogue primarily used to lower intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension and is not indicated for allergic conjunctivitis.
