Trusted Prescription Drug Information

• Use Patanol eyedrops exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these directions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
• Wash your hands before and after using your eyedrops.
• To apply the eyedrops:
· Tilt your head back slightly and pull down on your lower eyelid. Position the dropper above your eye. Look up and away from the dropper. Squeeze out a drop and close your eye. Apply gentle pressure to the inside corner of your eye (near your nose) for about 1 minute to prevent the liquid from draining down your tear duct. If you are using more than one drop in the same eye, repeat the process with about 5 minutes between drops.
• Patanol is usually applied twice a day with 6 to 8 hours between doses. Follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Do not touch the dropper to any surface, including your eyes or hands. The dropper is sterile. If it becomes contaminated, it could cause an infection in your eye.
• Do not use any eyedrop that is discolored or has particles in it.
• Store Patanol at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Keep the bottle properly capped.
