What it is used for
Olopatadine eye drops are used to relieve itching, redness and watering of the eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. This is common with pollen, dust, pet hair and other allergy triggers. The drops treat allergy in the eye only and are not used for eye infections.
How it works
Olopatadine blocks histamine in the eye and reduces the release of allergy chemicals from mast cells on the eye's surface. This quickly eases itching and helps prevent further symptoms.
