My doctor told me not to mix and match. NOW AARP Rx is sending me a generic Olopatadine HCL by Rising Labs and I am paying the same price as the Brand Patanol which works great for me. I live in NE NJ..
I went through virtuwell and they said it was allergic conjunctivitis prescribing Olopatadine drops. Its been about 6 days now and no real relief. I've tried Zyrtec, Flonase, Benedryl and now Claratin with very limited relief. Anyone have a magic combination that works?

I was thinking about calling the eye dr office and ask if its safe. The pharmacist said its safe but to let my ob/gunna know. When I look up the medicine it said maybe harmful. uggh idk what to do. Dont wanna put my baby at risk.

The tricyclic antidepressant doxepin has also been found to be an effective blocker of histamine release. Finally, a medication called ketotifen, which keeps mast cells from releasing histamine, has also been used with success.

from Betamethasone to Dermovate, along with pills ranging from Atarax to Ranitidine which I take along Ketotifen. I am worried that this thing will be fungus or an STD as none of the treatments I have been given seem to work. The dermatologist I have seen told me that it could be bug bites, but that was not the case... I was told it could be urticaria... but why is it lasting so long... and why is it only on my buttocks and inner thighs? I need help please.
It’s good that she is responding well to antihistamines. Other drugs like Ketotifen and Leukotriene inhibitors are also effective adjuvant.
The occurrence of urticaria and future recurrences cannot be predicted. There is uncertainty in the disappearance of the urticaria. Some studies stated that if urticaria stays for more than 6 months there are 40% chances that it may persist for period of 10 years. In some cases it can disappear in a short period.
I had an ocular exam last Friday- eyes were dilated with tropicamide and proparacaine. Prior to this I have not had any vision problems, never worn glasses or contacts. This visit I was concerned with some minor blurriness at night and the optometrist said I needed glasses just for driving/distance vision (OD-0.25, )S-0.5).
The only thing that has stuck out was visiting an allergist and finding out I am severely allergic to dust mites (which prompted my doctor giving me ivermectin), oak, and mold. Using olopatadine has mixed results. When my eyes were red before surgery, I would take Pazeo and my eyes would turn 100% white. Other times I would take it, it would have no effect or cause increased redness.
I am at a loss here.
Medical therapy consists of starting oral H1 antihistamines on daily basis or when the reaction can be anticipated. Other drugs like ketotifen, danazol and omalizumab against prescription can be tried if anti histamines are ineffective. I suggest you to consult allergy specialist. Take care and regards.
I was prescribed some Olopatadine drops for the allergy and some additional lubricant tear drops. It is interesting because ever since I moved to Kentucky in the last 2 years I developed dry eyes, and I never had it before in my life..so I am curious to what may have caused it.
I accidentally had sunlight reflected directly into my eyes from the screen of my phone in the middle of the afternoon. It was several seconds before I came to realization and changed the angle of the screen. While I haven't really had any trouble seeing since then I have had a large quantity of floaters appear in my vision on both eyes. I had my regular optometrist do a dilated eye exam about a week later due to the floaters but forgot to mention the sunlight incident.
