What Is Olopatadine Hydrochloride?

Olopatadine, marketed under the names Pataday, Patanol and Pazeo, is a solution used for relieving itching in patients with conjunctivitis related to allergies - similar to epinastine (Elestat). Olopatadine works by stabilizing specific cells called mast cells. Olopatadine is also a histamine H1 antagonist and helps block activation of cells in the immune system known as eosinophils. Olopatadine hydrochloride powder itself is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water. Olopatadine prescription drops and nasal spray should be generally stored between 2° C and 25° C.
