Pataday Extra Strength is a professional-grade topical solution featuring a 0.7% concentration of olopatadine. This dual-action formula serves as both a mast cell stabilizer and an H1 antagonist, providing 24-hour surface relief for the sensitive ocular environment. The inclusion of hydroxypropyl-gamma-cyclodextrin supports the stability of the high drug load within the conjunctival tissue.
The formula utilizes benzalkonium chloride (BAK) as a preservative. Data suggests a strict limit of one drop per day to avoid surface dryness. Users of contact lenses should observe a 10-minute waiting period after application before lens insertion to maintain ocular surface health.
