Optilast Eye Drops are a form of antihistamine medication that help prevent and treat allergic symptoms such as red, watery and itchy eyes.
Optilast Eye Drops are used to treat ophthalmic symptoms due to hay fever and other allergic responses.
Optilast eye drops contain the active ingredient azelastine hydrochloride, which is an antihistamine medicine. Antihistamines help prevent the actions of histamines in the body – a chemical that is released when a foreign particle or allergen enters the body.
When the eye drops are administered into the eyes, they work by blocking the histamine receptors inside the eyes. This stops the chain reaction and relieves the allergic symptoms as quickly as 3 minutes.
Optilast Eye Drops help relieve allergy symptoms such as:
Water eyes
Red eyes
Itching of the eyes
Put one drop of the Optilast Eye Drops into each eye, twice a day. You may increase this dosage to four times per day if this dose is ineffective for your condition.
Wash your hands gently and thoroughly before touching the eyes. Insert the drop inside the eye. Avoid touching the tip of the bottle to your eye or any other surface.
Here are a few things to keep in mind while using Optilast Eye Drops:
These drops should not be used for a period longer than 6 weeks at a stretch.
