Olopatadine ophthalmic solution should not be used to treat contact lens related irritation.

Use In Pregnancy Lactation
There were no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal studies are not always predictive of human responses, this drug should be used in pregnant women only if the potential benefit to the mother justifies the potential risk to the embryo or fetus. It is not known whether topical ocular administration could result in sufficient systemic absorption to produce detectable quantities in the human breast milk. Nevertheless, caution should be exercised when Olopatadine ophthalmic solution is administered to a nursing mother.
