12.1 Mechanism of Action Epinastine is a topically active, direct H 1 -receptor antagonist and an inhibitor of the release of histamine from the mast cell. Epinastine is selective for the histamine H 1 -receptor and has affinity for the histamine H 2 -receptor. Epinastine also possesses affinity for the ɑ 1 , ɑ 2 -, and 5-HT 2 -receptors.

Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution is an H 1 histamine receptor antagonist indicated for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution is indicated for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis.

The recommended dosage is one drop in each eye twice a day. The recommended dosage is one drop in each eye twice a day. Treatment should be continued throughout the period of exposure (i.e., until the pollen season is over or until exposure to the offending allergen is terminated), even when symptoms are absent.

The most common ocular (incidence occurring in approximately 1% to 10% of epinastine HCl-treated eyes were burning sensation in the eye, folliculosis, hyperemia, and pruritus. The most common non-ocular , occurring in 10% epinastine HCl-treated eyes, were infection (cold symptoms and upper respiratory infections).

The most frequently reported ocular occurring in approximately 1 to 10% of patients were burning sensation in the eye, folliculosis, hyperemia, and pruritus. The most frequently reported non-ocular 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 reactions were similar to the underlying disease being studied. 6.2 Postmarketing Experience The following reactions have been identified during postmarketing use of epinastine HCl in clinical practice. Because they are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, estimates of frequency cannot be made. The reactions, which have been chosen for inclusion due to either their seriousness, frequency of reporting, possible causal connection to epinastine HCl, or a combination of these factors, include: lacrimation increased.
