Frequently Asked Questions

What is Cafta Eye Drops used for?

Cafta Eye Drops are primarily used to relieve itching and irritation of the eyes caused by allergic conjunctivitis. This condition is a common eye inflammation triggered by allergens such as pollen, pet dander, mold, or dust mites. It also helps alleviate associated symptoms like redness, swelling, and excessive watering of the eyes.

How does Cafta Eye Drops work?

Cafta Eye Drops contain Alcaftadine, which is an H1 histamine receptor antagonist, also known as an antihistamine. It works by blocking the action or release of histamine, a natural chemical messenger in the body responsible for triggering allergic symptoms like itching, redness, swelling, and irritation in the eyes.

What is the usual dosage of Cafta Eye Drops?

For adults and children 2 years of age and older, the typical recommendation is to instill one drop in the affected eye once a day, or as prescribed by your doctor. It is crucial to follow your doctor's instructions precisely regarding the dosage and duration of treatment.

What are the possible side effects of Cafta Eye Drops?

Common side effects may include temporary eye irritation, itching, stinging or burning sensation in the eyes, redness, headache, mild taste, swelling of the inside of the nose and throat, blurred vision, runny nose, and drowsiness. Most of these effects are usually mild, temporary, and resolve as your body adjusts to the medication. If any side effects persist, worsen, or cause concern, you should consult your doctor. Serious allergic reactions are rare but require immediate medical attention.

Is Cafta Eye Drops safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

During pregnancy, Cafta Eye Drops are generally considered safe if prescribed by a doctor, especially if the potential benefits justify the potential risks to the fetus. While animal studies have shown minimal negative effects, human data are limited.

For breastfeeding women, caution is advised as it is not known if Alcaftadine passes into breast milk. It is recommended to consult a doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits before using this medication.

Can Cafta Eye Drops be taken with other medications?

You should inform your doctor about all prescription and non-prescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking. If you are using other eye medications, wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between applications of different eye drops to prevent dilution and ensure each medication works effectively. Possible interactions may occur with tricyclic antidepressants (e.g., amitriptyline, nortriptyline) and other antihistamines.

What precautions should be taken when using Cafta Eye Drops?

Cafta Eye Drops are for external ophthalmic (eye) use only. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying the drops. To prevent contamination, avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or any other surface. If you wear soft contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait at least 10 to 15 minutes before reinserting them. Do not use this medicine to treat irritation caused by contact lenses. This medication may cause temporary blurred vision; therefore, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear. Do not stop using the medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen your symptoms. Inform your doctor if you have glaucoma or any other existing eye problems.

What happens if a dose of Cafta Eye Drops is missed?

If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

How should Cafta Eye Drops be stored?

Store Cafta Eye Drops below 25°C, away from heat, moisture, and direct light, and do not freeze it. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use and out of the sight and reach of children. It is generally recommended to use the product within four weeks of opening the bottle.
