General Information On Acular Eyedrops
Acular Eyedrops are used for relieving itching in the eyes caused due to seasonal allergies. Its generic name is Ketorolac, and it belongs to the group of drugs called NSAIDs. Acular Eyedrops is an ophthalmic solution which acts by reducing the hormones that cause pain and inflammation in the body. It can also be used for reducing pain, swelling, stinging or burning in the eyes after corneal refractive surgery or cataract surgery.
Side Effects for Acular Eyedrops
Patients using Acular Eyedrops may commonly experience puffy or swollen eyelids, mild itching, stinging or burning in the eyes and headache. These side effects are temporary and can be easily managed. However, if any of these become intolerable, you should stop using the eye drops and contact your doctor. Some serious side effects associated with the drug include eye pain, watering or redness, severe itching, stinging or burning in the eyes, bleeding inside the eyes, vision changes, increased light sensitivity, drained eyes, or crusting. Since this drug is used externally, it rarely causes any allergic reaction to the patient. However, you have to watch out for symptoms of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty in breathing, swollen face, tongue, throat or lips, hives and rashes.
Precautions
You should not buy Acular Eyedrops if you have an allergy to Ketorolac or to any other NSAID. You should also inform your doctor if you have diabetes, glaucoma, arthritis, a bleeding disorder, nasal polyps, blood clotting disorder, or dry eye syndrome or if you have gone through an eye surgery recently. Your vision may temporarily become unstable after using the eye drops. During this time, you should not do any activity that needs clear vision. Examples of such activities include driving and operating heavy machinery. If you wear contact lenses, you should remove them before using the eye drops, and do not re-insert them for at least 15 minutes after that. Acular Eyedrops can be used with caution during the 1st and 2nd trimesters of a pregnancy, but if taken in the 3rd trimester, it can prove to be harmful for the unborn baby. Breastfeeding mothers should also use this drug with caution, as it is not yet known whether it passes into breast milk or not.
Acular Eyedrops Dosage
Your doctor will advise you to apply Acular Eyedrops 0.5% in your affected eye(s) 4 times a day. Wash your hands with soap and water and let them dry. Make sure that the tip of the dropper does not touch any surface, not even your hands or eyes. After inserting the eye drops, keep your eyes closed for a couple of minutes. Do not rub or blink the eyes. If you are using any other eye drop or ointment, you should maintain a gap of at least 5 minutes between the two doses. You may be advised to use Acular Eyedrops for a period of 2 weeks. Using it more often and for a longer period may only increase the chance of experiencing side effects.
Interactions
You should not use Acular Eyedrops with blood thinners such as warfarin, corticosteroids such as prednisone, and anti-platelet medicines such as clopidogrel. Apart from that, you should tell your doctor if you are taking any medicinal products at present, especially eye drops and eye ointments.
