Lastacaft
Allergies
Lastacaft (alcaftadine ophthalmic solution) is a prescription eye drop medication used to treat itching associated with both seasonal and year-round allergies. It works by blocking histamine receptors in the eyes, which helps to reduce inflammation and prevent allergic reactions.
To use Lastacaft, wash your hands thoroughly and remove any contact lenses. Tilt your head back and gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper tip directly over your eye, being careful not to touch it to your eye or any other surface, and squeeze one drop into the pocket. Close your eye gently and press your finger lightly against the inside corner of your eye for one to two minutes to help the medication absorb. Use Lastacaft as directed by your doctor, typically once a day.
It is important to tell your doctor if you have any allergies, medical conditions, or are currently taking any other medications before using Lastacaft to ensure safety and effectiveness. Common side effects of Lastacaft may include mild burning, stinging, or itching in the eye, headache, and dry eye. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately.
