Indications
Elasta sterile ophthalmic solution is used to treat the signs and symptoms of allergic conditions affecting the front part (anterior segment) of the eye.
⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.
Pharmacology
Epinastine is an antihistamine applied directly to the eye, where it blocks both H1 and H2 histamine receptors. It also stabilizes mast cells, keeping them from releasing inflammatory chemicals into nearby blood vessels. Because it does not cross the blood-brain barrier, it is not expected to cause any central nervous system side effects.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
Epinastine hasn't been thoroughly studied in pregnant women, so it should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefit to the mother outweighs any possible risk to the unborn baby. Whether it passes into breast milk isn't known either, so nursing mothers should use it with caution.
⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
