NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Published Studies Related to Patanol (Olopatadine)
Effects of single therapeutic doses of promethazine, fexofenadine and olopatadine
on psychomotor function and histamine-induced wheal- and flare-responses: a
randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers. [2012] Since most first-generation antihistamines have undesirable sedative effects on
the central nervous systems (CNS), newer (second-generation) antihistamines have
been developed to improve patients' quality of life. However, there are few
reports that directly compare the antihistaminic efficacy and impairment of
psychomotor functions...
Comprehensive report of olopatadine 0.6% nasal spray as treatment for children with seasonal allergic rhinitis. [2011.05] Allergic rhinitis (AR) is highly prevalent in children...
Two-week comparison study of olopatadine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.6% versus azelastine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.1% in patients with vasomotor rhinitis. [2011.03] Olopatadine hydrochloride nasal spray 0.6% (OLO) and azelastine nasal spray 137 micrograms (AZE) are effective in treating allergic rhinitis and AZE is indicated for nonallergic vasomotor rhinitis (VMR). This study evaluates the relative safety and efficacy of OLO and AZE in patients with VMR.
Mometasone furoate nasal spray for moderate-to-severe nasal congestion in
subjects with seasonal allergic rhinitis. [2011] Nasal congestion is a frequent, bothersome symptom of seasonal allergic rhinitis
(SAR). Mometasone furoate nasal spray (MFNS) has established efficacy in treating
nasal allergy symptoms, but no study has been conducted with the primary purpose
of evaluating MFNS for relief of congestion...
Olopatadine hydrochloride in children: efficacy and safety for perennial allergic rhinitis. [2010.07] OBJECTIVE: The efficacy of antihistamines in perennial allergic rhinitis in children has been evaluated in studies using active comparators, whereas placebo-controlled studies are very few. A randomized, multicenter, double-blind, parallel-group clinical study was carried out to evaluate the dose-response relationship and superiority of olopatadine hydrochloride over placebo in children aged 7 to 16 years with perennial allergic rhinitis... CONCLUSIONS: Olopatadine hydrochloride 5 mg twice daily is an effective and safe treatment for perennial allergic rhinitis in children.

| Patanol review by 36 year old female patient | | Rating |
Overall rating: | | |
Effectiveness: | | Considerably Effective |
Side effects: | | No Side Effects | | Treatment Info |
Condition / reason: | | Eye allergies |
Dosage & duration: | | 1 drop per eye (dosage frequency: 2 times a day) for the period of 15 days |
Other conditions: | | Seasonal allergies |
Other drugs taken: | | Reactine | | Reported Results |
Benefits: | | I have seasonal allergies and especially in the spring and fall, my eyes itch and get dry. These drops contain anti-histamines that are delivered directly into the eye, and therefore are more effective than just using anti-histamine pills. I think they also helped with the eczema-like flaking on my eyelids but I cannot be sure because I was also using anti-histamine pills at the time. |
Side effects: | | I did not experience any side effects. |
Comments: | | These drops really helped with the symptoms but I did wish I could use it more often than just 2 times a day. |
