Opatanol is an ophthalmic solution used to treat allergic conjunctivitis. It contains the active ingredient olopatadine, which works by blocking the release of histamine in the eyes, thereby reducing itching, redness, and swelling. This medication is suitable for adults and children aged 3 years and older who suffer from seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis.
About Opatanol
Dosage and usage
For adults and children over 3 years old, the usual dose is one drop in each affected eye once a day. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using Opatanol and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them. The effects of Opatanol can last for 24 hours. If you experience eye pain, changes in vision, or worsening redness or itching, contact your healthcare provider.
What Opatanol contains
Each ml of Opatanol contains 1 mg of olopatadine hydrochloride as the active ingredient. The excipients include sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, and water for injections.
Side effects
Common side effects may include headache, dry eye, or a bitter taste in the mouth. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include severe eye pain, changes in vision, or signs of an allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Precautions
Do not use Opatanol if you are allergic to olopatadine or any other ingredients in the product. Avoid using this medication if you are pregnant or breastfeeding unless directed by your doctor. If you have a history of eye problems or use other eye medications, consult your healthcare provider before using Opatanol. If you experience any eye injury or develop eye infections while using this product, talk to your doctor.
