Olopatadine is an antihistamine and mast cell stabilizer used to relieve symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, such as itching, redness, and watering of the eyes. It works by blocking the action of histamine, a substance in the body that causes allergic reactions, and by stabilizing mast cells to prevent the release of inflammatory mediators. XEPAT Eye Drop is indicated for the treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (hay fever) and perennial allergic conjunctivitis (year-round allergies) in adults and children aged 3 years and older.
