Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML

Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML are used for managing the following conditions:

• Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis is a type of eye inflammation caused by allergens like pollen, dust, animal dander, and moulds.

• Eye itching

• Excessive tearing of the eyes

• Redness in the eyes

• Eye irritation

Using Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML is simple. Here's how you should go about it:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the eye drops.

• Make sure the dropper tip isn't chipped or cracked.

• Avoid touching the dropper tip with your eye or any surface.

• Pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket for the drop.

• Position the dropper over your eye and gently squeeze out one drop.

• After application, close your eyes gently for 1-2 minutes.

• Press a finger against the corner of your eye near your nose for 1-2 minutes. This helps keep the drop in your eye and prevents it from draining away.

• If you're using other eye drops or ointments as well, wait at least 5 minutes before applying them.

• Always replace and tighten the cap right after use.

Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML are applied topically to the eyes.

Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML contain olopatadine (0.2%) as the active ingredient that works on your body in the following ways:

• Blocks histamine: Olopatadine prevents histamine from binding to H1 receptors found in nerve endings and small blood vessels in your eyes. Histamine is a chemical messenger involved in triggering allergy symptoms.

• Reduces symptoms: By preventing histamine from binding to these receptors, olopatadine effectively reduces ocular itching, swelling, and redness associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

• Keep Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML at a stable room temperature between 20 °C and 25 °C.

• Protect from direct light.

• Maintain the bottle in a tightly closed state when not in use.

• Ensure the medicine is stored in a place out of reach from children.

• Remember to use the eye drops before the expiration date indicated on the packaging.

• Discard the bottle 4 weeks after opening.

• Try to manage your exposure to common allergens such as dust, pollen, animal fur and mould, as these can trigger allergic conjunctivitis which Patavue Bf 0.2 % Eye Drops 5 ML helps manage. This might involve regular cleaning and dusting at home or wearing protective eyewear outdoors during high pollen periods.

• Incorporate Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. Foods rich in Omega-3 like fish, walnuts, and flaxseeds can help reduce inflammation associated with eye allergies.
