Olopatadine 0.1% w/v, 5mL Eye Drops
SKU GME1183Eye Care
Product Introduction
Olopatadine 0.1% w/v eye drops relieve itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. They target the allergic response to triggers such as pollen, dust and animal dander rather than treating bacterial infection.
How to use
The 0.1% presentation is commonly used as one drop twice daily, with doses about six to eight hours apart. Place the drop in the lower-eyelid pocket. Remove contact lenses before instillation, and do not wear lenses while the eye is red or irritated.
How it works
Olopatadine blocks histamine H1 receptors and stabilises mast cells. These complementary actions reduce immediate itching and limit further release of allergy mediators.
Side effects
Temporary stinging, dryness, irritation, blur, headache or an unusual taste may occur.
Important information
Persistent eye pain, light sensitivity, discharge or worsening vision is not typical uncomplicated allergy. The drops are not intended to treat contact-lens-related irritation.
Uses
- Itchy eyes caused by seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis.
Benefits
Relieves allergy-related itching and reduces the associated watering without using an ocular corticosteroid.
Are 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.7% used at the same frequency?
No. The 0.1% presentation is generally twice daily, while 0.2% and 0.7% presentations are generally once daily.
Is olopatadine a steroid?
No. It is an antihistamine with mast-cell-stabilising activity.
Can it treat a sticky, pus-producing eye infection?
No. Purulent discharge may indicate bacterial infection rather than allergy.
Can I use more drops for stronger allergy relief?
Extra drops do not reliably improve benefit and can increase irritation or wash medicine out of the eye.
Why do symptoms return when I go outside?
The allergen may still be present. Reducing exposure and avoiding eye rubbing can help alongside medicine.
