Alomide Eye Drops treat allergy-related eye symptoms such as redness, itching, burning, watery eyes, and sensitivity to light.

Use the Alomide Eye Drops as prescribed by your doctor. To apply Alomide Eye Drops, wash your hands first. Please do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface to avoid contamination.

• Alomide Eye Drops are used in the affected eye(s), usually four times daily or as directed by your doctor.
• Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over the eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of the eye near the nose and apply gentle pressure. It will prevent the medication from draining away from the eye. Try not to blink, and do not rub the eye. Repeat these steps if your dose is for more than one drop and the other eye if so directed.
• Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap tightly after each use.

Before using Alomide Eye Drops, tell your doctor and pharmacist:

• If you are allergic to them or other drugs,
• Prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially other eye medications and vitamins,
• If you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding.
• You should know that Alomide Eye Drops contain benzalkonium chloride, which soft contact lenses can absorb. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before instilling lodoxamide and put them back in 10 to 15 minutes later.
