lotel should be used for a limited period say 2 wks because this is low dose steroids. It will check the inflammation that is occuring due to allergy n give immediate relief
olopat can be used for a longer time as maintenance therapy for 4 wks as twice daily dose.
aqualube is a tear substitute that has supportive role. Is completly safe- use till lotel
