Lastacaft (Alcaftadine) - Side Effects and Adverse Reactions

ADVERSE REACTIONS

Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.

Ocular Adverse Reactions

The most frequent ocular adverse reactions, occurring in < 4% of LASTACAFT™-treated eyes, were eye irritation, burning and/or stinging upon instillation, eye redness and eye pruritus.

Non-ocular Adverse Reactions

The most frequent non-ocular adverse reactions, occurring in < 3% of subjects with LASTACAFT™-treated eyes, were nasopharyngitis, headache and influenza. Some of these events were similar to the underlying disease being studied.
