DESCRIPTION

Opatanol is an antihistamine drug that functions by blocking the receptors not to allow the substance to cause the reaction. Apart from the suppressive function, it exerts a wide range of pharmacological actions. Histamine stop working when receptors are blocked. As a result, the symptoms disappear.  

The medication belongs to the class of carbonic anhydrase inhibitors that diminish the production of humor thus decreasing fluid flow. With lower humor production, the intraocular pressure becomes lower as well therefore the drug is a good alternative for patients with glaucoma.
