Description
Indications
Both prescription and nonprescription ophthalmic olopatadine serve to alleviate the discomfort of itchy eyes resulting from allergic reactions to pollen, ragweed, grass, animal hair, or pet dander. Belonging to the category of medications known as mast cell stabilizers, olopatadine operates by inhibiting the release of substances responsible for triggering eye itching.
Uses and Dosage
Ophthalmic olopatadine is supplied as a liquid solution for instillation into the eye. For prescription ophthalmic olopatadine, application typically involves placing the solution in the affected eye(s) once daily. The nonprescription ophthalmic olopatadine 0.1% is typically applied to the affected eye(s) twice daily, while nonprescription ophthalmic olopatadine 0.2% is applied once daily.
To facilitate consistent usage of olopatadine, make an effort to apply it at roughly the same time(s) every day.
Ensure that you precisely follow the directed usage of olopatadine. Avoid using more or less of it than instructed, and refrain from increasing the frequency of application beyond what your doctor has prescribed.
To administer the eye drops, the following steps should be followed:
- Thoroughly wash hands with soap and water.
- Do not allow the dropper tip to touch the eye or any other surface, and ensure that it is kept clean.
- Tilt the head back and pull down the lower lid of the eye using the index finger to form a pocket.
- Hold the dropper as close to the eye as possible without making contact, and brace the remaining fingers against the face.
- Squeeze the dropper gently to instill a single drop in the pocket created by the lower eyelid while looking upwards.
- Remove the index finger from the lower eyelid and keep the eye closed for 2-3 minutes while tilting the head down.
- Apply gentle pressure to the tear duct using a finger.
- Use a tissue to wipe off any excess liquid from the face.
- Wash hands to remove any residual medication.
