Wash your hands thoroughly before handling the medication.
Remove your contact lenses before use.
Tilt your head back, look upwards, and gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a pouch.
Carefully squeeze the bottle to instil one drop (or as prescribed by your doctor) into the pouch, avoiding contact of the dropper tip with any surface.
Shut your eye for 1-2 minutes and apply gentle pressure on your inner corner to prevent medication outflow.
If you're using more than one type of eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between each application.

Kerosite Eye Drop 10 ML may cause the following side effects:

Transient stinging and burning sensation in the eye
Eye redness or irritation
Eye pain or swelling
Temporary blurred vision
Headache
Corneal infiltrates or opacities: This refers to small, cloudy areas in your eye's cornea, which might affect your vision.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, and they resolve when you discontinue using Kerosite Eye Drop 10 ML. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Transient stinging and burning sensation in the eye: Try using these eye drops at night to reduce daytime discomfort.
Temporary blurred vision: If this happens, avoid driving or operating machinery until your vision is clear again.

Kerosite Eye Drop 10 ML contains Ketorolac (0.5%), which works on your eyes in the following ways:

Inhibits Prostaglandin Synthesis: Ketorolac blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for causing pain and inflammation in the body. By doing so, it reduces the redness, swelling and discomfort associated with eye inflammation.
Limits Postoperative Inflammation: By preventing prostaglandin synthesis at the site of surgery, Ketorolac helps manage inflammation in ocular tissues after procedures such as cataract surgery.
Prevents Histamine Release: Ketorolac stabilises mast cells in your eyes, preventing them from releasing histamine. Histamine is a chemical that causes itching and other allergy symptoms. Therefore, this action helps relieve itchy eyes caused by allergies.
