Patanol (active ingredient: olopatadine) is a prescription eye drop used to relieve itching caused by allergic conjunctivitis.

It is used in adults and children who meet the age requirements for the prescribed product.

Allergic Conjunctivitis

Patanol is used to treat itchy eyes caused by allergies.

Allergic conjunctivitis happens when the eyes react to allergens such as:

  • Pollen
  • Dust
  • Pet dander
  • Mold
  • Other environmental triggers

This reaction can cause symptoms such as itching, redness, watering, burning, or mild swelling around the eyes.

How Patanol Works

Patanol belongs to a group of medications called antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers.

Olopatadine works in two main ways. It blocks histamine, a chemical that causes allergy symptoms, and it also helps stabilize mast cells, which are immune cells that release histamine during an allergic reaction.

How Patanol Helps Relieve Eye Allergies

By reducing the effects and release of histamine, Patanol can help:

  • Relieve itchy eyes
  • Reduce redness and irritation
  • Decrease watering
  • Calm the allergic response in the eyes

Because Patanol is applied directly to the eyes, it works locally where the allergy symptoms are occurring.

Important Treatment Note

Patanol is intended for allergy-related eye itching and does not treat every cause of red or irritated eyes.

Use it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms become severe, do not improve, or are accompanied by significant eye pain or changes in vision.

Patanol comes as eye drops used to relieve itching caused by allergic conjunctivitis.

For Patanol 0.1% eye drops, the usual dose is one drop in the affected eye or eyes twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Use Patanol exactly as prescribed. Do not use more drops, use them more often, or continue treatment longer than recommended.

Before Using Patanol

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before applying the eye drops.

Remove the bottle cap and make sure the dropper tip does not touch your fingers or any other surface. This helps prevent contamination.

How to Apply Patanol Eye Drops

Follow these general steps:

  1. Tilt your head back and look upward.
  2. Gently pull down your lower eyelid with one finger to create a small pocket.
  3. Hold the bottle above your eye with the dropper pointing downward.
  4. Gently squeeze the bottle to place one drop into the pocket of your lower eyelid.
  5. Close your eye gently. Do not blink or squeeze your eyelids tightly.
  6. Place a finger over the inner corner of your eye near your nose and gently press for 1 to 2 minutes. This can help keep the medication in your eye and reduce drainage into your nose and throat.
  7. If both eyes need treatment, repeat these steps for the other eye.

Avoid Touching the Dropper Tip

Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, eyelashes, fingers, or any other surface.

Touching the tip can introduce bacteria into the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Replace the cap securely after each use.

Using Patanol With Other Eye Medications

If you use other eye drops or eye medications, ask your healthcare provider how long you should wait between products.

Spacing different eye medications apart can help prevent one medication from washing another out of the eye.

Contact Lenses

If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying Patanol.

Wait at least 10 minutes before putting your contact lenses back in, unless your healthcare provider or the instructions for your specific product recommend a longer interval.

Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are red or irritated.

Use Patanol on a Regular Schedule

If your healthcare provider recommends regular use, try to apply Patanol at approximately the same times each day.

Using the medication consistently can help control allergy-related eye itching.

What Should I Do If I Miss a Dose?

If you miss a dose of Patanol, apply it as soon as you remember.

If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.

Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.

Storing Patanol

Keep the bottle tightly closed when it is not being used and store it according to the instructions on the medication label.

Keep Patanol out of the reach of children and pets.

When to Contact Your Healthcare Provider

Contact your healthcare provider if your symptoms do not improve, become worse, or you experience significant eye pain, severe irritation, unusual discharge, or changes in vision.

These symptoms may indicate an eye problem that requires further evaluation.

Allergic Reactions

Do not use Patanol if you are allergic to olopatadine or any ingredient in the medication.

Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as:

  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Hives
  • Severe itching or rash

Contact Lenses

Patanol contains a preservative that may be absorbed by soft contact lenses.

Remove your contact lenses before applying the eye drops. Wait at least 10 minutes before putting them back in.

Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes are red or irritated unless your healthcare provider tells you it is safe.

Pregnancy

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before using Patanol.

There is limited information about the use of olopatadine eye drops during pregnancy, so your provider can help decide whether the expected benefits outweigh any possible risks.

Breastfeeding

Talk to your healthcare provider before using Patanol if you are breastfeeding.

Your provider can help determine whether the medication is appropriate based on your symptoms and individual circumstances.

Kidney or Liver Problems

Because Patanol is applied directly to the eye, only a small amount of olopatadine is usually absorbed into the bloodstream.

Even so, tell your healthcare provider if you have significant liver or kidney disease or other ongoing medical conditions.

Drug Interactions

Significant drug interactions are not expected with Patanol eye drops because very little medication reaches the bloodstream.

However, you should still tell your healthcare provider about all the medications you take, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, antihistamines, and other eye medications.

Blurred Vision

Patanol may temporarily cause blurred vision after the drops are applied.

Do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal.

Eye Burning or Stinging

Some people may experience mild burning, stinging, dryness, or discomfort in the eye after applying Patanol.

These effects are usually temporary. Contact your healthcare provider if the irritation becomes severe, lasts for a long time, or continues to get worse.

Other Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience other mild side effects, such as headache, throat discomfort, or an unusual taste.

Tell your healthcare provider if these symptoms become persistent or bothersome.

Avoid Contaminating the Bottle

Do not allow the dropper tip to touch your eye, eyelid, fingers, or any other surface.

This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of an eye infection.

Keep the bottle tightly closed when it is not being used.

Product Recalls

Medication recalls can change over time and may affect only certain lots or batches.

If you are concerned about a possible Patanol recall, check with your pharmacist, healthcare provider, or the appropriate health authority using the lot number on your medication. Do not stop using the medication solely because of an unconfirmed recall.

Is Patanol Safe for Everyone to Use?

No. Patanol should not be used by anyone who is allergic to olopatadine or any ingredient in the product. Before using Patanol, tell your healthcare provider about your medical conditions and all the medications you take. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, supplements, and other eye medications.

How Long Can I Use Patanol?

Patanol is usually used for a limited period based on your allergy symptoms and your healthcare provider’s instructions. Some treatment plans may continue for several weeks, including up to 14 weeks in certain product information. Follow the directions on your prescription label and do not use Patanol longer than recommended by your doctor or pharmacist.

How Often Is Patanol Used?

For Patanol 0.1% eye drops, the usual dose is generally one drop in the affected eye or eyes twice daily. Use the medication exactly as prescribed. Do not use extra drops or apply them more often than directed.

What Happens If I Use Too Much Patanol?

Using more Patanol than recommended may increase the chance of side effects such as eye irritation, dry eyes, or headache. If you accidentally use an extra drop, serious problems are unlikely in most cases. However, if a large amount is used or swallowed, especially by a child, contact a healthcare provider or poison control centre for advice. Do not continue using extra doses to make up for a mistake.
