| Uses |
| | |
| | Patanol is used to treat the
symptoms of allergic pink eye. Olopatadine is in a class of medications called
antihistamines. It works by blocking histamine, a substance in the body that causes
allergic symptoms. | | | |
| Directions |
| | |
| | Wash your hands thoroughly
with soap and water. Use a mirror or have someone else put the drops in your eye.
Make sure the end of the dropper is not chipped or cracked. Avoid touching the
dropper against your eye or anything else. Hold the dropper tip down at all times
to prevent drops from flowing back into the bottle and contaminating the remaining
contents. Lie down or tilt your head back. Holding the bottle between your thumb
and index finger, place the dropper as near as possible to your eyelid without
touching it. Brace the remaining fingers of that hand against your cheek or nose.
With the index finger of your other hand, pull the lower lid of the eye down to
form a pocket. Drop the prescribed number of drops into the pocket made by the
lower lid and the eye. Placing the drops on the surface of the eyeball can cause
stinging. Close your eye and press lightly against the lower lid with your finger
for 2-3 minutes to keep the medication in the eye. Do not blink. Replace and tighten
the cap right away. Do not wipe or rinse it off. Wipe off any excess liquid from
your cheek with a clean tissue. Wash your hands again. | | | |

| Precautions |
| | |
| | You should know that you should
not wear contact lenses if your eye(s) is/are red. If your eye is not red and
you wear contact lenses, you should know that olopatadine solution contains benzalkonium
chloride, which can be absorbed by soft contact lenses. Remove your contact lenses
before applying olopatadine and put them back in 10 minutes later. Tell your doctor
and pharmacist if you are allergic to olopatadine, benzalkonium chloride, or any
other medications. Tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription
medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking.
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding.
If you become pregnant while using olopatadine, call your doctor. |
