Decreased chemotaxis and inhibition of eosinophil activation has also been demonstrated. 12.3 Pharmacokinetics Systemic bioavailability data upon topical ocular administration of olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2% are not available. Following topical ocular administration of olopatadine 0.15% ophthalmic solution in man, olopatadine was shown to have a low systemic exposure. Two studies in normal volunteers (totaling 24 subjects) dosed bilaterally with olopatadine 0.15% ophthalmic solution once every 12 hours for 2 weeks demonstrated plasma concentrations to be generally below the quantitation limit of the assay (< 0.5 ng/mL). Samples in which olopatadine was quantifiable were typically found within 2 hours of dosing and ranged from 0.5 to 1.3 ng/mL. The elimination half-life in plasma following oral dosing was 8 to 12 hours, and elimination was predominantly through renal excretion. Approximately 60 - 70% of the dose was recovered in the urine as parent drug. Two metabolites, the mono-desmethyl and the N-oxide, were detected at low concentrations in the urine."],"clinical_studies":["14 CLINICAL STUDIES Results from clinical studies of up to 12 weeks duration demonstrate that olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution 0.2% when dosed once a day is effective in the treatment of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis."],"contraindications":["4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None."],"description":["11 DESCRIPTION Olopatadine hydrochloride ophthalmic solution USP 0.2% is a sterile ophthalmic solution containing olopatadine for topical administration to the eyes.

Based on a 40 microliter drop size and a 50 kg person, these doses were approximately 150,000 and 50,000 times higher than the maximum recommended ocular human dose (MROHD). No mutagenic potential was observed when olopatadine was tested in an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) test, an in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration assay or an in vivo mouse micronucleus test. Olopatadine administered to male and female rats at oral doses of approximately 100,000 times MROHD level resulted in a slight decrease in the fertility index and reduced implantation rate; no effects on reproductive function were observed at doses of approximately 15,000 times the MROHD level."],"nursing_mothers":["8.3 Nursing Mothers Olopatadine has been identified in the milk of nursing rats following oral administration.
