Description
These eyedrops contain the drug ketorolac trometamol and are used to treat itchy eyes occurring in the condition called seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. They are also used for the relief of swelling and redness after cataract surgery. Ketorolac trometamol works by decreasing prostaglandin E2 levels in the eye.
How to use Acular Drops
Use this medication to the affected eye(s) as directed by your doctor, usually 4 times daily.
To apply eye drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface.
This medication should not be used while wearing contact lenses. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details.
Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down the lower eyelid to make a pouch. Hold the dropper directly over your eye and place one drop into the pouch. Look downward and gently close your eyes for 1 to 2 minutes. Place one finger at the corner of your eye (near the nose) and apply gentle pressure. This will prevent the medication from draining out. Try not to blink and do not rub your eye. Repeat these steps for your other eye if so directed.
