Apo Olopatadine How to Take

Olopatadine belongs to the family of medications called antihistamines. It is used to relieve signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis (an allergic reaction affecting the eyes), such as itchy eyes, red eyes, and swelling of the surface of the eye.

It works by blocking histamine, a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction. It also works by preventing the release of natural chemicals from cells in the body (mast cells) involved in an allergic reaction.

Apo Olopatadine may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of Apo Olopatadine may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of Apo Olopatadine may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.

Your doctor may have suggested Apo Olopatadine for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Apo Olopatadine, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Apo Olopatadine without consulting your doctor.

Do not give Apo Olopatadine to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take Apo Olopatadine if their doctor has not prescribed it.
