OLAPAD FORTE TABLET 10'S

How OLAPAD FORTE TABLET 10'S Works

• OLAPAD FORTE TABLET 10'S is a combination medicine designed to relieve symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, such as runny nose, sneezing, itchy nose, and nasal congestion. Its effectiveness stems from the synergistic action of its two active ingredients: Olopatadine and Pseudoephedrine.
• Olopatadine is an antihistamine that selectively inhibits the release of histamine from mast cells. Histamine is a chemical mediator released by the body during an allergic reaction. It binds to H1 receptors in the nasal passages, leading to symptoms like itching, sneezing, and increased mucus production. By blocking these receptors, Olopatadine effectively reduces these allergic symptoms, providing relief from nasal irritation and discomfort.
• Pseudoephedrine is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages. This constriction reduces swelling and inflammation, thereby relieving nasal congestion and stuffiness. It stimulates alpha-adrenergic receptors in the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa, causing them to narrow. This action helps to open up the airways, making breathing easier.
• The combined action of Olopatadine and Pseudoephedrine addresses both the allergic and congestive aspects of allergic rhinitis. Olopatadine targets the histamine-mediated allergic response, while Pseudoephedrine relieves the physical blockage of the nasal passages. This dual approach provides comprehensive relief from the multiple symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis. Together they block the effects of histamine and decrease swelling in the nasal passages
• It is important to note that while Pseudoephedrine effectively relieves nasal congestion, it can also cause side effects such as increased blood pressure, insomnia, and anxiety, particularly in individuals sensitive to stimulants.
