Key Benefits of Xepat OD

The main benefit of Xepat OD is simple once-daily allergy relief for the eyes. Results vary from person to person.

• Supports easier daily use with one dose

How Does Olopatadine Work?

Olopatadine blocks histamine, the chemical that triggers allergic itching. It also helps stabilise mast cells, which release histamine during an allergic reaction.

How Should You Use Xepat OD?

The usual olopatadine 0.7% dose is one drop in each affected eye once daily. Do not use more than prescribed.

• Wash your hands before use
• Do not let the dropper tip touch your eye or any surface
• Wait at least 5 minutes before using other eye drops
• Do not use if the solution looks cloudy or discoloured

What Are the Side Effects of Olopatadine Eye Drops?

Olopatadine eye drops are generally well tolerated, and most reported side effects are mild. In clinical trials of the 0.7% strength, about 2 to 5% of patients reported:

• Abnormal sensation in the eye
• Altered taste
• Surface eye irritation

Stop use and contact your doctor if you have eye pain, vision changes, increased redness, or itching lasting over 72 hours.
