Prollerg is a high-performance ophthalmic solution containing Olopatadine. As a dual-action medication, it acts as both a selective $H_1$-receptor antagonist (antihistamine) and a mast cell stabilizer. This means it doesn't just treat the symptoms of an allergy—it helps prevent the allergic reaction from starting in the first place.
Product Type: Antihistamine & Mast Cell Stabilizer (Ophthalmic)
Manufacturer: Fidson Healthcare Plc
Active Ingredient: Olopatadine (as Hydrochloride) — 0.1% w/v
Pack Size: 5ml Sterile Dropper Bottle
Route: Ophthalmic (Eye Drops)
Availability: Over the Counter (OTC) / Pharmacist Consultation Recommended
Suitable For: Adults and Children (3 years and older)
Prollerg is indicated for the treatment of Allergic Conjunctivitis, providing rapid and long-lasting relief from the signs and symptoms of seasonal or perennial allergies. It is highly effective at stopping:
Itching (Pruritus): The most common sign of eye allergies.
Redness (Hyperemia): Caused by inflamed blood vessels.
Watering (Tearing): The body's response to allergens like pollen, pet dander, or dust.
Swelling: Reducing puffiness of the eyelids and the conjunctiva.
Avoid Contamination: Do not touch the dropper tip to your eye, eyelashes, or any other surface, as this can contaminate the sterile solution. Contact Lenses: Prollerg contains Benzalkonium chloride, a preservative that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses and may cause irritation or discoloration. Remove your lenses before instilling the drops and wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before reinserting them.
The standard dose is one drop in each affected eye twice daily (usually 8 to 12 hours apart).
Application Technique:
Wash your hands thoroughly.
Tilt your head back and pull down the lower lid to create a small pocket.
Instill one drop into the pocket without touching the eye with the bottle tip.
Close your eye gently and press on the inner corner (near the nose) for 1 minute to ensure the medicine stays in the eye and doesn't drain away too quickly.
Note: If your symptoms do not improve within 72 hours, consult our pharmacist or an eye specialist, as you may have a non-allergic condition.
Common side effects include a mild, temporary stinging or burning sensation upon instillation, blurred vision, or a dry eye sensation. Some users may experience a mild headache or a change in taste (metallic or bitter). If you experience severe eye pain, crusting of the eyelids, or a sudden change in vision, discontinue use and contact your doctor.
Store at room temperature (below 25°C to 30°C) in a cool, dry place. Protect from excessive heat and direct sunlight. Crucial Safety Rule: Discard the bottle 4 weeks after opening, even if there is liquid remaining. Using eye drops beyond this period increases the risk of introducing a bacterial infection into your eye.
Q: Is Prollerg better than standard antihistamine drops?
A: Yes. Because it is also a "mast cell stabilizer," it provides a more comprehensive block of the allergic response and typically lasts longer (up to 12 hours) than older generation drops.
Q: Can I use this for "Apollo" (Pink Eye)?
A: If your pink eye is caused by an allergy (itchy, watery, both eyes affected), Prollerg will help. If it is caused by a virus or bacteria (painful, sticky discharge), Prollerg will not cure the infection.
Q: Can I use it for my toddler?
A: Prollerg is generally safe and effective for children aged 3 years and older. For children under 3, please consult your pediatrician first.
Q: How quickly does it work?
A: Most patients feel a significant reduction in itching within minutes of the first drop.
Q: Do I need a prescription?
A: While often available as a pharmacy-only medication, we recommend a consultation with our pharmacist to ensure your symptoms are truly allergic and not infectious.
