Indications

Olopan Pro Eye Drop 0.70% is indicated for the treatment of:

• Ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis

Therapeutic Class

• Ophthalmic Non-Steroid Drugs

Pharmacology

Olopatadine Hydrochloride exhibits a dual mechanism of action by acting as both a mast cell stabilizer and a selective histamine H1-receptor antagonist. It inhibits the release of histamine and other pro-inflammatory mediators from mast cells, thereby preventing allergic inflammation. Additionally, it blocks histamine-induced effects on conjunctival epithelial cells, reducing itching, redness, and irritation.
Olopatadine selectively targets H1 receptors and shows no significant activity on alpha-adrenergic, dopaminergic, or muscarinic (type 1 and 2) receptors. Following topical ocular administration, systemic absorption is minimal, which helps maintain a favorable safety profile while providing effective local action.

Dosage and Administration

Dosage should be used as advised by a physician. General recommendations include:

• 0.7% Sterile Eye Drops: One drop in each affected eye once daily

Patients should wash their hands before use and avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination.

Drug Interactions

• Concurrent use with central nervous system depressants may result in additive CNS depression, although systemic exposure after ocular use is low.

Contraindications

Olopan Pro Eye Drop 0.70% is contraindicated in individuals with:

• Known hypersensitivity to Olopatadine Hydrochloride or any component of the formulation
