Olofast Nasal Spray

Olofast Nasal Spray is a prescription nasal spray that contains olopatadine as the active ingredient, with the amount labeled per spray on the pack. Olopatadine is an antihistamine used to help relieve allergy symptoms in the nose, such as sneezing, runny nose, and itching. Olofast Nasal Spray is made by Intas Pharmaceuticals Ltd. and is supplied as a box of 10 sprays.

How it works: Olopatadine works by blocking histamine, a natural chemical your body releases during an allergic reaction. In nasal spray form, it acts directly on the lining of the nose to help reduce allergy symptoms where they start.

This Olofast Nasal Spray is the exact labeled spray strength, so it is meant to deliver one measured dose each time you use the spray. Since there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the main point is that this product should be used exactly as prescribed by a doctor for nasal allergy relief, rather than being compared with a lower or higher sibling dose.

• Seasonal allergic rhinitis
• Runny nose from allergies
• Sneezing due to nasal allergies
• Itchy nose
• Nasal allergy symptom relief

• Use Olofast Nasal Spray exactly as your doctor tells you to.
• Prime the spray if directed in the patient instructions before the first use.
• Blow your nose gently before using the spray.
• Keep your head upright, place the nozzle in one nostril, and spray as directed while breathing in gently.
• Do not share the spray with anyone else.
• Wipe the nozzle clean after use and replace the cap.

Each spray provides the labeled olopatadine dose shown on the product packaging. The usual schedule is as prescribed by the doctor, and the maximum number of sprays per day depends on the prescribed regimen for this strength. Do not use more often or for longer than directed, because your prescriber decides the right dose based on your symptoms and medical history.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
