Astelin Eye Drops Information:

Astelin Eye Drops can be used for the treatment and prevention of the symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis in adults and children 4 years and older. Astelin Eye Drops can also be used for the treatment of the symptoms of non-seasonal (perennial) allergic conjunctivitis in adults and children 12 years and older. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis: The usual dosage in adults and children 4 years and older is one drop in each eye twice daily that can be increased, if necessary to four times daily. If allergen exposure is anticipated Optilast should be administered prophylactically, prior to the exposure.

Non-seasonal (perennial) allergic conjunctivitis: The usual dosage in adults and children 12 years and older is one drop in each eye twice daily that can be increased, if necessary to four times daily. As safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in clinical trials for a period of up to 6 weeks, the duration of any course should be limited to a maximum of 6 weeks.

Astelin Eye Drops Side Effects:

Occasionally, a mild, transient irritation in the eye after application of Optilast is experienced. Less frequently reported is a bitter taste. In very rare cases allergic reactions may occur.
