Olopat Kt Eye Drops 5ml

Olopat KT Eye Drops are used for managing the following conditions:

• Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: This is a type of eye inflammation caused by allergies to substances like pollen or dust.

• Postoperative ocular inflammation: After eye surgeries, this medication can help manage the irritation and inflammation in your eyes.

Use Olopat KT Eye Drops as follows:

• Always wash your hands thoroughly before using the drops.

• Tilt your head back slightly and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket.

• Hold the dropper directly over your eye and squeeze gently to release a few drops into the pocket.

• Close your eyes and apply gentle pressure on the corner of your eye (near the nose) for 1-2 minutes. This helps prevent the medicine from draining out.

• If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the eye drops and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.

• Check the package for further details.

• As always, follow specific advice from your doctor on using this medicine.

Olopat KT Eye Drops are instilled topically.

Olopat KT Eye Drops contain three active ingredients:

• Olopatadine (0.1%): This ingredient is an antihistamine that works by blocking the release of histamine from mast cells in the eyes. Histamine is a chemical messenger that triggers allergic reactions leading to itching, irritation, and inflammation.

• Ketorolac (0.4%): As a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicine (NSAID), ketorolac inhibits the production of prostaglandins which cause inflammation, redness, and swelling in the eyes. This action helps reduce eye discomfort.

• Cetrimide (0.01%): Cetrimide acts as a preservative in these eye drops. It helps maintain the sterility of the solution and prevents microbial growth.

• Store Olopat KT Eye Drops at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep the bottle away from direct light and moisture to maintain its efficacy.

• Ensure it is kept out of reach of children for safety reasons.

• If you suffer from allergic conjunctivitis, try to limit your exposure to allergens like dust and pollen that may exacerbate your symptoms. This could involve staying indoors on high pollen count days or regularly dusting your living environment.

• Incorporating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods like fish and flaxseeds, can help manage eye inflammation associated with allergies.
