The most common reported adverse reaction occurring in approximately 25% of subjects was a mild taste following instillation.

Other adverse reactions occurring in 2 to 5% of subjects were eye irritation, headache, and nasopharyngitis.

6.2 Post-Marketing Experience Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported rarely during the post-marketing use of bepotastine besilate ophthalmic solution.

Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of unknown size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

The hypersensitivity reactions may include itching, body rash, and swelling of lips, tongue and/or throat.
