Pharmacology/ Pharmacokinetics:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
1. Mechanism of Action
Olopatadine is a histamine H1 -receptor antagonist. The antihistaminic activity of
olopatadine has been documented in isolated tissues, animal models, and humans.
2. Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetic properties of olopatadine were studied after administration
by the nasal, oral, intravenous, and topical ocular routes. Olopatadine exhibited
linear pharmacokinetics across the routes studied over a large dose range
Pregnancy and lactation:
USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
1. Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category C: No adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women
have been conducted. Animal reproductive studies in rats and rabbits revealed
treatment-related effects on fetuses or pups. Because animal studies are not
always predictive of human responses,
PATANASE Nasal Spray should be used in pregnant women only if the potential
benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the embryo or fetus
2. Nursing Mothers
Olopatadine has been identified in the milk of nursing rats following oral
administration. It is not known whether topical nasal administration could
result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities
in human breast milk. PATANASE Nasal Spray should be used by nursing
mothers only if the potential benefit to the patient outweighs the potential
risks to the infant.
3. Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of PATANASE Nasal Spray has not been
established for patients under 6 years of age.
The safety of olopatadine nasal spray was evaluated in 3 vehicle-controlled
2-week studies in 870 patients 6 to 11 years of age
In this study, the incidence of epistaxis with PATANASE treatment
was 5.7%, compared to 3.2% seen in adult and adolescent studies.
This study also evaluated the effectiveness of PATANASE Nasal Spray in
patients 6 through 11 years of age with seasonal allergic rhinitis .
4. Geriatric Use
Clinical studies of PATANASE Nasal Spray did not include sufficient numbers
of patients aged 65 years and older to determine whether they respond
differently from younger patients.
Other reported clinical experience has not identified differences in responses
between the elderly and younger patients. In general, dose selection
for an elderly patient should be cautious, reflecting the greater frequency
of decreased hepatic, renal, or cardiac function and of concomitan
disease or other drug therapy.
