Reproductive Health:

Female and Male Potential • Fertility Studies have not been performed to evaluate the effect of topical ocular administration of olopatadine on human fertility. 1 Pregnant Women There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant women.

Studies in animals with olopatadine have shown reproductive toxicity following systemic administration considered sufficiently in excess of the maximum human exposure. Olopatadine was found not to be teratogenic in rats and rabbits at oral doses >90,000 and >60,000 times the maximum recommended ocular human use level, respectively (see 16 NON-CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY, Reproductive and Developmental Toxicology).
