OLAPTIVA

What is OLAPTIVA Eye Drops

OLAPTIVA Eye Drops is a prescription ophthalmic solution containing Olopatadine Hydrochloride IP (0.1% w/v). Designed to provide advanced relief for allergic eye conditions, OLAPTIVA acts as a selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist and mast cell stabilizer to rapidly soothe ocular itching, redness, swelling, and watering caused by environmental allergens.

Key Ingredients & Their Role

OLAPTIVA Eye Drops contains the following active components:

• Olopatadine Hydrochloride IP (Equivalent to Olopatadine 0.1% w/v):

  • Dual-Action Antihistamine & Mast Cell Stabilizer: Inhibits histamine release from ocular mast cells and blocks histamine H1-receptors, stopping allergic inflammation at its origin.

  • Rapid Ocular Relief: Quickly eliminates itching, redness, burning, and excessive tearing caused by seasonal or perennial allergic conjunctivitis.

• Benzalkonium Chloride Solution IP (0.01% w/v): Added as a preservative to maintain sterility during multidose bottle usage.

• Sterile Aqueous Base (q.s.): Ensures optimal pH, isotonicity, and ocular comfort upon instillation.

Benefits & What It Helps With

Using OLAPTIVA Eye Drops can help with:

• Fast Relief from Eye Itching: Reduces intense ocular itching caused by pollen, dust, pet dander, or mold spores.

• Control of Allergic Redness & Swelling: Soothes inflamed conjunctival tissues and reduces eye redness and lid swelling.

• Sustained Allergic Protection: Prevents recurrent allergic flare-ups when used consistently during peak allergy seasons.

• Soothing Eye Comfort: Formulated in a sterile aqueous base to minimize stinging or irritation upon application.

Who Should Use OLAPTIVA Eye Drops

This ophthalmic product is generally used by:

• Individuals suffering from Seasonal Allergic Conjunctivitis or Perennial Allergic Conjunctivitis.

• Patients experiencing persistent eye itching, burning, redness, and tearing due to environmental allergens.

Important: OLAPTIVA Eye Drops is a prescription medication and should be used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist or healthcare professional.

How to Use & Dosage Advice

• Dosage: Instill 1 to 2 drops into the affected eye(s) twice daily (8 to 12 hours apart), or as directed by an eye specialist.

• Instillation Technique:

  1. Wash hands thoroughly before use.

  2. Tilt head back, look upward, and gently pull down the lower eyelid to form a pocket.

  3. Instill the prescribed number of drops without touching the dropper tip to the eye, fingers, or any surface.

  4. Close the eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes to allow absorption.

• Contact Lens Wearers: Remove soft contact lenses prior to instillation and wait at least 10–15 minutes before reinserting them, as Benzalkonium Chloride may be absorbed by soft lenses.

• Avoid using if you have known hypersensitivity or allergy to Olopatadine, Benzalkonium Chloride, or any ingredient in the solution.

• Do not touch the tip of the bottle to any surface to prevent bacterial contamination of the eye drops.
