Olopatadine is a dual acting histamine H1-receptor antagonist and mast cell stabilizer.
Olopatadine is a histamine H1 receptor antagonist and mast cell stabilizer. The low level of occupancy H1 receptors in the brain explains the low sedation effect of olopatidine. It is believed that olopatidine is a substrate for P-glycoprotein, which limits its brain penetration.

Vasomotor rhinitis (VMR) is a hypersensitivity syndrome with heightened reactivity to environmental triggers. Twenty-two patients with severe VMR were treated nasally with either normal saline or 0.6% olopatadine and challenged nasally with a hyperosmolar mannitol solution. Treatment with 0.6% olopatadine
