Ketorolac + Olopatadine

Uses of Ketorolac + Olopatadine

  • Ketorolac + Olopatadine is commonly used to manage symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis and belongs to the group of NSAIDs and antihistamines.

  • The medication is also beneficial in managing secondary symptoms of allergies such as eye itching, redness, swelling, tearing, and the sensation of a foreign body in the eye.

Side effects of Ketorolac + Olopatadine

  • Burning or stinging sensation in the eyes

  • Blurred vision

  • Headaches

  • Unpleasant taste in the mouth

  • Dry eyes

How Ketorolac + Olopatadine works

  • Ketorolac is a type of medication called a nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory medicine (NSAID). It works by blocking the production of certain natural substances in your body that cause inflammation. This helps to reduce redness and swelling in the eye.

  • Olopatadine is an antihistamine and mast cell stabiliser. It works by blocking histamine - a natural substance your body makes during an allergic reaction and preventing mast cells from releasing inflammatory substances. In combination, Ketorolac and Olopatadine provide more effective relief from symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis than either medicine used alone.
