The active ingredient in Pataday Eye Drops is Olopatadine. 

• Olopatadine works by blocking Histamine receptors in the eyes. Histamine is a substance released by the body during an allergic reaction.
• By blocking these receptors, olopatadine hydrochloride helps reduce the symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, such as itching and redness. It also helps prevent the release of other inflammatory substances that contribute to eye irritation.
• Olopatadine has a rapid onset of action, relieving symptoms within minutes after administration. The effects of Pataday Eye Drops can last up to 16 hours, providing long-lasting relief from allergy-related eye symptoms.
