Winolap 5 mg Tablet

Winolap 5 mg Tablet is a prescription allergy medicine that contains 5 mg of olopatadine in each tablet. It belongs to the antihistamine class and is used to help relieve allergy symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose, and itchy or watery eyes. Because it is a tablet, Winolap 5 mg Tablet is taken by mouth and is meant for people whose clinician has decided an oral antihistamine is appropriate. Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. manufactures this pack of 10 tablets.

How it works: Olopatadine works by blocking histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during allergic reactions that causes itching, sneezing, and watery eyes. In tablet form, Winolap 5 mg Tablet helps reduce these allergy symptoms throughout the body after you swallow it.

Winolap 5 mg Tablet is a full-strength 5 mg oral dose of olopatadine, so it is not a lower-strength starter tablet. A doctor may choose this strength when a standard adult oral dose is appropriate and tablet swallowing is preferred over another form. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Winolap 5 mg Tablet is the specific product patients should use only as directed.
