Patanol description

Antihistamine tablets and nasal sprays are not designed to relieve allergy eyes directly. Patanol is the only medication that contains antihistamines specifically for the eye. Since it goes right to the source of the problem, Patanol relieves itchy, red, watery eyes far more effectively and in less time than other treatments for allergies.

Patanol drug is an approved medication/substance by the FDA

How to take Patanol

Use Patanol exactly as directed by your doctor. Apply one drop of Patanol in each eye two times a day at intervals of 6 to 8 hours. If you wear contact lenses remove them before using Patanol, then wait at least 10 minutes before re-inserting them. Also, be careful not to touch the tip of the bottle to any surface. The eye dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye.

During treatment, avoid other eye drops unless your doctor approves.
