ELESTAT® (epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution) 0.05% provides fast-acting, long lasting relief of ocular itching and is soothing to the eyes. Epinastine prevents ocular allergy symptoms rapidly by blocking both the H1 and H2 receptors, stabilizing mast cells and stopping the cascade of proinflammatory mediators. Its fast, multi-action efficacy reduces symptoms within 3 minutes, and its sustained effect provides relief for 8-12 hours. ELESTAT® is also soothing upon instillation with a 7 pH, similar to natural tears.

ELESTAT® ophthalmic solution is indicated for the prevention of ocular itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

Important Safety Information:
The most frequently reported ocular adverse events occurring in approximately 1% to 10% of patients were burning sensation in the eye, folliculosis, hyperemia, and pruritus. The most frequently reported nonocular adverse events 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% to 3% of patients. Some of these events were similar to the underlying disease being studied. Patients should be advised not to wear a contact lens if their eye is red.
