HelloPharmacist Bottom Line
Our Pharmacist Explains
What is this? The interaction data in the HelloPharmacist supplement database is licensed from Natural Medicines Pro by TRC Healthcare (Therapeutic Research). HelloPharmacist pharmacists often add our own analysis and context on top of that licensed data — such as this Bottom Line summary and the notes on individual interaction pages — and any such commentary is noted as ours.

DMSO is the entry worth reading first for anyone using olopatadine (Pataday, Pazeo). Applied to the skin, DMSO can drive other topical medicines into the body faster and deeper, and since olopatadine is itself a topical antihistamine for itchy, allergic eyes, the concern is that combining the two nearby could amplify both what the drug does and its side effects. Still, this is a short list, only three ingredients, none rated major, and it sits squarely in the watch-and-be-aware category rather than the alarming one.

Turpentine oil, found in some chest rubs and liniments, carries the same moderate absorption concern, and both entries rest on animal and lab evidence rather than solid human trials. The third item, alchemilla, rates only minor and involves local irritation from topical use. Keeping skin-penetrating products away from where you apply your drops covers most of the risk here.

What Severity, Likelihood & Evidence Mean

Severity — How Serious It Can Be

  • Major. Clinically significant; generally best avoided, or used only under direct professional supervision.
  • Moderate. May need monitoring, a dose adjustment, or separating the times you take each one.
  • Minor. Generally not clinically significant, but still worth noting and mentioning to your pharmacist.
  • No known interaction. Checked against our sources with nothing documented — not the same as proven safety.

Likelihood — How Well It’s Documented

  • Likely. Well-controlled human studies have demonstrated the likely existence of this interaction
  • Probable. Interaction has not been documented in well-controlled studies, however, the interaction has been demonstrated in some small human studies or in controlled animal studies in conjunction with multiple case reports.
  • Possible. Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists
  • Unlikely. Interaction has been demonstrated in animal or in lab research but has been shown not to occur in humans.

Where This Data Comes From

  • Interaction records are evidence-graded and sourced from the Natural Medicines database (TRC Healthcare), the same reference used by pharmacists and hospitals.
  • Each entry links to a full report with the clinical detail, likelihood, evidence level, and citations for that exact combination.
  • Content is reviewed by licensed HelloPharmacist pharmacists — see our data sources and editorial standards.

How Does Our Interaction Checker Work?

Behind every verdict on this page is a category system. Our source database doesn’t document supplement interactions drug-by-drug — it documents them against groups of medications that behave the same way (for example, “drugs processed by the CYP3A4 liver enzyme” or “blood-thinning medications”).

So the check works in three steps: (1) Olopatadine Hydrochloride is classified into the pharmacology categories it belongs to, (2) every supplement interaction documented against any of those categories is inherited by Olopatadine Hydrochloride, and (3) each ingredient keeps its own severity, likelihood, and evidence grades from the underlying record. That’s why one supplement can carry several records for one drug — it may interact through more than one category.

Olopatadine Hydrochloride sits in 1 interaction category. Open any one to see what the group means:

Topical Drugs 3 ingredients

A pharmacology grouping from our source database: medications in this group share a property that certain supplements are known to interact with, so an interaction documented for the group applies to every drug in it.

3 of the supplement ingredients on this page reach Olopatadine Hydrochloride through this category.

Do brands like Pataday have the same supplement interactions as Olopatadine Hydrochloride?
Yes — Pataday, Pazeo all contain Olopatadine Hydrochloride, so everything on this page applies to them equally. Interactions belong to the active drug, never to the brand on the box; the same is true of generics.
Where do these interaction ratings come from?
Every rating comes from the Natural Medicines database — the same evidence-graded reference pharmacists and hospitals use — and each interaction carries three separate grades: severity (how bad it can be), likelihood (how well it's documented in studies and case reports), and an evidence level. Our pharmacists review the content; we never let an AI decide an interaction. See how to read the ratings and our editorial policy.
What about Olopatadine Hydrochloride and my other medications?
