Composition:-
Ketorolac (0.4% w/v) + Olopatadine (0.1% w/v)
Uses:-
Ketorolac (0.4% w/v) + Olopatadine (0.1% w/v) ophthalmic solution is a combination medication used to treat symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and inflammation. Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that helps reduce pain and inflammation in the eyes. Olopatadine is an antihistamine that alleviates allergic symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling. This combination is particularly effective in managing both the allergic reactions and the associated inflammation, providing comprehensive relief for patients suffering from eye allergies.
Side Effects:-
While this medication is generally safe and effective, some users may experience side effects. Common side effects include mild eye irritation, burning, or stinging immediately after application. Some individuals might experience blurred vision temporarily following the application of the drops. Less commonly, side effects can include headache, dry eyes, or a sensation of having something in the eye. In rare cases, more severe side effects such as severe eye pain, vision changes, or signs of an allergic reaction like rash, itching, or swelling may occur. If any severe side effects are experienced, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
Indication:-
This medication is indicated for the treatment of signs and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, which includes seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and perennial allergic conjunctivitis. Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis occurs during specific times of the year, typically spring and fall, when pollen counts are high. Perennial allergic conjunctivitis occurs year-round due to allergens like dust, pet dander, and mold. By combining the anti-inflammatory effects of Ketorolac with the antihistamine properties of Olopatadine, this solution provides dual-action relief for those suffering from chronic or seasonal eye allergies.
