Product Description

How does Optilast work?

The active ingredient that is in Optilast eye drops is azelastine hydrochloride, which is a type of antihistamine. Histamines cause inflammation in the eye by boosting the blood flow to them as a reaction to an allergy, but antihistamines relieve the swelling and start to better the symptoms of the allergy.

 

Dosage information:

Optilast is fairly easy to use and should be applied to your eyes daily in the morning and in the evening. When applying Optilast it is important to ensure that you are using it correctly and applying the correct amount so you should follow the user information leaflet given to you with the product. Your doctor or GP will discuss with you your dosage requirement and tailor it to your specific needs, based on the severity of your symptoms.

 

Side effects:

Like all medications, Optilast has a few possible side effects, but not everyone will suffer from them and they are not all that common. There is the possibility that Optilast could cause mild irritation to your eyes or blurring of your eyesight. If you do experience any of these symptoms it will usually only be for a short period just after the application.

However, if the symptoms last a few days or are becoming more severe, you should contact a doctor or your GP as soon as possible. Seek medical advice immediately if you are experiencing itchiness, redness and watering in your eyes which is progressively getting worse.

 

Who is Optilast suitable for?

Optilast is designed to help people who suffer from allergies and help them to relieve their symptoms, but depending on your medical history, Optilast may not be the right medicine for you. You should always speak to your doctor before using Optilast, but especially if you suffer from an allergy to azelastine hydrochloride or any other ingredients in Optilast that are listed on the patient information leaflet.
