Safely Buy Patanase Nasal Spray ( Olopatadine ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Indications

Olopatadine is used to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies that occur in the nose, such as runny/itchy/stuffy nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip. This medication is an antihistamine.

Olopatadine works by blocking certain natural substances called histamines that are responsible for allergic symptoms. Do not use this medication in children younger than 2 years unless specifically directed by the doctor.

Use and Dosage

Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using olopatadine each time you get a refill. Follow the instructions on how to properly use this medication. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist.

Follow the instructions for properly priming the spray pump before using the bottle for the first time and if you have not used the medication for more than 7 days. Avoid spraying in your eyes or directly onto the nasal septum (the wall between the two nostrils).

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same times each day.

Keep track of the number of sprays you use, including test sprays used to prime the bottle.
