    Alacot ®

    Eye Drops
    Olopatadine 0.2% & 0.1%
    Anti-allergic Eye Drops

    Olopatadine is an inhibitor of the release of histamine from the mast cell and a
    selective histamine H1-antagonist that inhibits the in vivo and in vitro type 1
    immediate hypersensitivity reaction including inhibition of histamine induced
    effects on human conjunctival epithelial cells.

    COMPOSITION
    Alacot ® DS Eye Drops: Each ml contains Olopatadine 2 mg as Olopatadine
    HCl USP.
    Alacot ® 0.1% Eye Drops: Each ml contains Olopatadine 1 mg as
    Olopatadine HCl USP.

    INDICATION
    Alacot ® Eye Drops is indicated for the treatment of the signs and symptoms
    of allergic conjunctivitis.

    DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION


    Alacot ® DS Eye Drops: One drop in the affected eye once a day.
    Alacot ® 0.1% Eye Drops: One drop in each affected eye two times per day
    at an interval of 6 to 8 hours.

    CONTRAINDICATION
    Olopatadine Hydrochloride ophthalmic solution is contraindicated in persons
    with a known hypersensitivity to Olopatadine Hydrochloride.

    PRECAUTION
    Olopatadine HCl ophthalmic solution should not be used to treat contact lens
    related irritation. Patients who wear soft contact lenses should be instructed to
    wait at least ten minutes after instilling Olopatadine Hydrochloride ophthalmic
    solution before they insert their contact lenses.

    USE IN PREGNANCY AND LACTATION


    There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women.
    Because animal studies are not always predictive of human responses, this
    drug should be used in pregnant women only if the potential benefit to the
    mother justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
    It is not known whether topical ocular administration could result in sufficient
    systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in the human breast
    milk. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when Olopatadine
    Hydrochloride ophthalmic solution is administered to a nursing mother.

    SIDE EFFECT
    Headaches have been reported at an incidence of 7%. The following adverse
    experiences have been reported in less than 5% of patients: Asthenia, blurred
    vision, burning or stinging, cold syndrome, dry eye, foreign body sensation,
    hyperemia, hypersensitivity, keratitis, lid edema, nausea, pharyngitis, pruritus,
    rhinitis, sinusitis, and taste perversion.

    STORAGE
    Store below 300C in a cool and dry place protected from light. Keep out of
    reach of children. Do not touch the dropper tip to surfaces since this may
    contaminate the solution. Do not use after 30 days of first opening.

    HOW SUPPLIED

    Olopatadine HCl USP sterile solution.
