A: Allet® Sterile Eye Drops is a medication containing Olopatadine Hydrochloride, which is an antihistamine that helps relieve symptoms of allergic eye conditions. It works by blocking histamine receptors and stabilizing mast cells, preventing the release of histamines that cause itching, redness, swelling, and discomfort in the eyes. Allet® is specifically prescribed for patients suffering from allergic conjunctivitis, which can be triggered by exposure to allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust, or mold. It provides quick and effective relief by reducing irritation and preventing further allergic reactions. The drops should be used only in the eyes and are not meant for treating other types of infections or eye conditions. Patients experiencing persistent discomfort or worsening symptoms should consult their doctor for further evaluation and possible alternative treatments.

A: To use Allet® Sterile Eye Drops correctly, wash your hands thoroughly before application. Tilt your head back slightly, pull down the lower eyelid, and carefully instill one drop into the affected eye(s) twice daily, or as directed by your doctor. Avoid touching the dropper tip to prevent contamination. After applying the drop, close your eyes gently for a few seconds to allow proper absorption. If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 5–10 minutes between applications to avoid interference. Do not blink excessively or rub your eyes after using the drops. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 10–15 minutes before reinserting them, as the preservative (Benzalkonium Chloride) can be absorbed by the lenses and cause irritation. If you accidentally use more than the prescribed amount, wipe away the excess with a clean tissue and avoid excessive use without medical advice.

A: While Allet® Sterile Eye Drops is generally well tolerated, some patients may experience mild and temporary side effects such as burning, stinging, redness, blurred vision, or dryness after application. In rare cases, headache, foreign body sensation, keratitis (eye inflammation), or hypersensitivity reactions may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor immediately. Do not use the medication if you are allergic to Olopatadine or any of the ingredients in the formulation. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare professional before use. Since the drug is meant only for ophthalmic use, it should never be ingested or injected. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery immediately after application, as temporary blurred vision may occur. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place (15°-25°C) and keep it tightly closed to maintain sterility. The bottle should be discarded after 30 days of opening, even if some solution remains, to prevent contamination and reduced effectiveness.

A: Allet® Sterile Eye Drops has low systemic absorption, meaning it is unlikely to cause interactions with most oral medications. However, it is important to inform your doctor about any ongoing treatments, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements. If you are using other ophthalmic medications, apply them at least 5–10 minutes apart to ensure each drug works effectively. Patients with pre-existing eye conditions such as glaucoma, infections, or recent eye surgery should consult an eye specialist before using Allet®. Since no significant studies have been conducted on its effects during pregnancy and lactation, pregnant and breastfeeding women should use this medication only if clearly needed. It is also recommended that patients with severe allergies or a history of hypersensitivity reactions undergo an evaluation before starting treatment.

A: If you miss a dose of Allet® Sterile Eye Drops, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply extra drops to make up for the missed dose, as this may lead to increased irritation or unwanted side effects. In case of accidental overdose, rinse your eyes with lukewarm water and seek medical attention if symptoms such as severe eye irritation, excessive tearing, swelling, or vision disturbances occur. Do not attempt to self-medicate or alter your dosage without consulting your doctor. Always follow the prescribed dosage instructions to ensure safe and effective treatment.
