What is epinastine HCl and how does it work?
Epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution 0.05% is an H1 histamine receptor antagonist eye drop, FDA-approved for the prevention of itching associated with allergic conjunctivitis. It's typically used one drop in each affected eye, twice a day, during allergy flare-ups or seasonally.
The brand name Elestat is no longer marketed in the US; epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution is available today as a generic.
Comparing generic pricing
Because this drug is available only as a generic now, prices for the same prescription can still vary noticeably from pharmacy to pharmacy. Rx.com compares pricing across 60,000+ pharmacies so you can see where it costs less near you, whether you're uninsured or your plan doesn't cover eye-allergy drops well.
- Ask your pharmacist whether an over-the-counter antihistamine eye drop might be an option for milder symptoms, since some patients don't need a prescription-strength drop
- Compare cash prices even with insurance, since copays for eye drops can sometimes exceed the cash price
Alternatives and related allergy eye drops
Other prescription and over-the-counter antihistamine/mast-cell-stabilizer eye drops used for allergic conjunctivitis include olopatadine and ketotifen. Which one is right for you depends on symptom severity and how often you need relief; ask your eye doctor before switching products.
Safety information
No contraindications are listed for epinastine HCl ophthalmic solution. It contains a preservative (benzalkonium chloride) that can be absorbed by soft contact lenses, so contact lenses should be removed before using the drops and can be reinserted about 10 minutes later. Avoid letting the dropper tip touch your eye or any other surface to prevent contamination. This is general information, not medical advice — check with your eye doctor about your specific situation.
