The most frequently reported ocular adverse reactions occurring in approximately 1-10% of patients were burning sensation in the eye, folliculosis, hyperemia, and pruritus. The most frequently reported non-ocular adverse reactions were infection (cold symptoms and upper respiratory infections), seen in approximately 10% of patients, and headache, rhinitis, sinusitis, increased cough, and pharyngitis, seen in approximately 1 - 3% of patients. Some of these reactions were similar to the underlying disease being studied. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of Epinastine HCl Ophthalmic Solution 0.05% in clinical practice. Because they are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. The reactions, which have been chosen for inclusion due to either their seriousness, frequency of reporting, possible causal connection to Epinastine HCl Ophthalmic Solution 0.05% , or a combination of these factors, include: lacrimation increased.
