Description: Olaptadine is an OTC antihistamine/rx and mast cell stabilizer eye drop used to treat allergic conjunctivitis. It works by blocking histamine receptors and preventing the release of histamines, which cause itching, redness, and swelling in the eyes. For mild cases with occasional symptoms, 0.1% (twice daily) is sufficient. For long-lasting relief with once-daily dosing, 0.2% is preferred. For severe allergic conjunctivitis, 0.7% provides the strongest and longest-lasting effect.
