Uses of Olopat Drop 5ml

Olopat Drop 5ml eye drops are used to relieve the itching, redness, watering and swelling of allergic conjunctivitis, including seasonal hay fever affecting the eyes and reactions to dust, pollen or pet hair. They act quickly and can be used through the allergy season to keep symptoms under control. They are not meant for eye infections or other causes of red eyes.

How Olopat Drop 5ml works

Olopatadine blocks histamine, the chemical that causes itching and redness when the eye comes into contact with an allergen. It also stabilises mast cells, the cells that store and release histamine, so fewer allergy chemicals are released in the first place.

Possible side effects

Most people find Olopat Drop 5ml comfortable to use. Possible side effects include:

• Brief stinging or burning when the drops go in
• Headache
• Unusual or bitter taste
• Dry eye
• Short-lived blurred vision

Stop using the drops and see a doctor if you develop eye pain, worsening redness, discharge or a change in vision. Get urgent help for swelling of the eyelids, face or throat, or difficulty breathing.

Precautions and warnings

• Remove soft contact lenses before using the drops and wait at least ten minutes before putting them back in.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface, to keep the bottle free of germs.
• If your vision is blurred after use, wait until it clears before driving.
• If you use other eye drops as well, leave a few minutes between them.
