Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop

Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop is an eye care medicine containing olopatadine, an antihistamine/mast cell stabilizer used to relieve allergic eye symptoms. Each 5 mL eye drop bottle provides olopatadine in ophthalmic form for direct use in the eyes. It is commonly used for itching, redness, watering, and irritation caused by eye allergies. Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop works locally in the eye and is not meant to treat infections.

How it works: Olopatadine blocks histamine activity and helps stop the allergic reaction that causes itchy, red eyes. In eye-drop form, it also helps stabilize mast cells in the eye so fewer allergy chemicals are released.

Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop is a standard ophthalmic bottle size for people who need ongoing allergy relief in one convenient pack. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, the main difference is the bottle size and the amount available for repeated use as directed by a doctor. A clinician may choose Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop when symptoms are expected to last through an allergy season or when regular eye-drop use is needed.

• Allergic conjunctivitis
• Itchy eyes from allergies
• Red, watery eyes
• Eye irritation caused by pollen, dust, or pet dander

• Wash your hands before using Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop.
• Tilt your head back, pull down the lower eyelid, and place the prescribed number of drops into the eye.
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye, fingers, or any surface.
• After putting in the drop, close your eye gently for 1 to 2 minutes and press the inner corner if your doctor advised it.
• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the drops and wait before putting them back in, unless your doctor says otherwise.
• Use only as often as prescribed; do not use extra drops to speed up relief.

Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop supplies olopatadine as an ophthalmic solution in a 5 mL bottle; the exact number of drops per dose depends on the prescription and bottle design. It is commonly used once or twice daily, but your doctor decides the right schedule based on your symptoms and eye condition. Do not exceed the prescribed daily use.

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

Common side effects of Olopatadine may include:

• Mild eye burning or stinging

• Do not use Olopine 5 mL Eye Drop if you are allergic to olopatadine or any ingredient in the bottle.
• This eye drop is for external eye use only; do not swallow it.

• Do not drive or do tasks requiring clear vision until any temporary blurred vision clears.
• Tell your doctor if you have eye infection, eye injury, or a history of severe eye disease.
• Use caution if you are using other eye medicines, because timing between drops may matter.
