General Information on Your Dose of Bepotastine
Considerations to keep in mind when taking bepotastine include the following:
- This medication comes in the form of an eye drop. It is usually used in each eye twice a day.
- In order to prevent contamination of the drops, do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface, including the surface of the eye.
- If you wear soft contact lenses, you must remove them to use bepotastine. In order to prevent the lens from absorbing the medication, be sure to wait 10 minutes after using the drops before reinserting the lens. Do not wear your contact lenses if your eye is still red.
- For this medicine to work properly, it must be taken as directed.
- If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or bepotastine dosing in general, talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
