Is It Possible to Overdose on Patanol?

Patanol^® (olopatadine ophthalmic solution) is a medication approved to treat eye allergies (known medically as allergic conjunctivitis). It belongs to a class of allergy medications known as antihistamines. It is not known if it is possible to overdose on Patanol or what the specific effects might be. However, the effects of an overdose would likely vary, depending on a number of factors, including the Patanol dosage, how it was taken (as an eyedrop or by mouth), and whether it was taken with any other medicines, alcohol, or street drugs.

Overdose symptoms are more likely to occur if the medication was accidentally taken by mouth (which might occur with children or pets) rather than as an eyedrop, as very little of the medication reaches the bloodstream when administered in the eyes.

Treatment for a Patanol Overdose

Given that there have been no reported cases, it is not known how best to treat an overdose with Patanol.

Therefore, treatment, if necessary, will likely include supportive care, which consists of treating any of the symptoms that occur as a result of the overdose.

It is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have taken too much Patanol.
