Patanol 0.1% Eye Drops 5 ML

Patanol 0.1% Eye Drops (5 ML) is a clinically proven antihistamine solution specifically formulated to combat the irritating symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. It contains Olopatadine, a dual-action medicinal agent that blocks histamine receptors while stabilizing mast cells to prevent the further release of inflammatory chemicals. Whether your symptoms are triggered by seasonal pollen, pet dander, or house dust, Patanol provides rapid and long-lasting relief from redness, watering, and persistent itching.

Key Benefits

1. Dual-Action Defense: Acts as both an antihistamine for immediate relief and a mast cell stabilizer to prevent future allergic flare-ups.
2. Rapid Symptom Control: Noticeable reduction in itching and redness typically begins within minutes of application.
3. Extended Relief: Each dose provides up to 8–12 hours of comfort, allowing for a convenient twice-daily dosing schedule.
4. Multi-Allergen Protection: Effectively treats eye irritation caused by grass, ragweed, animal fur, and dust mites.

Why Choose Patanol 0.1%?

Patanol 0.1% is a preferred choice for those who need consistent, all-day protection without the need for frequent re-application. Unlike basic lubricant drops that only flush the eye, Patanol treats the underlying allergic reaction. It is a sterile, clear solution that is well-tolerated by adults and children (usually aged 3 and older), making it a reliable staple for family medicine cabinets during allergy season.

How to Use Patanol 0.1% Correctly

1. Preparation: Wash your hands thoroughly. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
2. Application: Hold the dropper above the eye without touching the tip to your eye, eyelid, or any other surface to avoid contamination.
3. Dosing: Squeeze one drop into the pocket.
4. Absorption: Close your eyes and press gently on the inner corner (near the nose) for 1–2 minutes. This keeps the medicine in the eye and prevents it from draining away.
5. Frequency: Typically used twice daily, about 6 to 8 hours apart, or as directed by your healthcare professional.

Important Precautions

1. Contact Lenses: If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before using Patanol. Wait at least 15 minutes after application before reinserting them, as the preservative (benzalkonium chloride) can be absorbed by the lenses.
2. Contamination: Always keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Discard any remaining solution 4 weeks after opening.
3. Vision: You may experience temporary blurred vision immediately after use; wait until your vision clears before driving or operating machinery.
