How does Livostin work? What will it do for me?
Livostin belongs to the class of medications called antihistamines. Livostin eye drops are used to relieve irritation, redness, and itching of the eye associated with allergies. It works by blocking the actions of a chemical called histamine. Livostin will start to work to relieve allergy symptoms within 10 to 15 minutes of being used.
Your doctor may have suggested Livostin for conditions other than the ones listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking Livostin, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking Livostin without consulting your doctor.
How should I use Livostin?
The bottle of eye drops should be shaken well before each use. The recommended dose for children (over 12 years old) and adults (up to 65 years old) is one drop instilled in each eye two times daily. If necessary, the dose may be increased to one drop in each eye three to four times daily. If no improvement occurs within three days, you should stop using it and inform your doctor.
Do not use a bottle of eye drops for longer than one month after opening. After this time, discard the remaining solution. Do not touch the dropper tip to any surface including your eye and fingers, since this may contaminate the solution. Do not share the eye drop medication with other people. Protect the medication from light and excessive heat.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is very important that Livostin be used exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue on with your regular schedule. Do not double doses.
