ITCHY, ALLERGY EYES

HOW THE ONE-TWO PUNCH OF PATADAY® WORKS  
 

Pataday® relieves itchy eyes due to pollen, ragweed, grass, 
animal hair and dander.     
 

A single drop of Pataday® stabilizes mast cells and prevents 
the release of histamines. Pataday also blocks histamines that 
have already been released from attaching to the histamine 
(H1) receptors in the eye, breaking the chain of allergic reaction.     
 

Stabilize and block: the one-two Pataday® punch works fast to keep histamines in check and provide eye allergy itch relief that lasts.

FAQ

 

    All three products feature olopatadine, previously the #1 prescribed eye allergy itch relief active ingredient, but at different concentrations.


    Extra Strength Pataday® contains the highest concentration of olopatadine, 0.7%, and provides a full 24 hours of eye allergy itch relief in one drop.


    Pataday® Once Daily Relief contains 0.2% olopatadine and provides up to 16 hours of eye allergy itch relief in one drop.


    Pataday® Twice Daily Relief contains 0.1% olopatadine and provides up to 8 hours of eye allergy itch and redness relief in one drop.

    Extra Strength Pataday® was called Pazeo®.
    Pataday® Once Daily Relief was called Pataday®.
    Pataday® Twice Daily Relief was called Patanol®.

    No, the formulations are the same. Only the names and packaging have changed.1,3

    Offering Pataday® in stores and online provides easier access for patients to purchase the previously #1 prescribed eye allergy itch relief active ingredient. OTC options also mean no pre-authorizations or call-backs, and the cost is less than the previous average co-pay.
