Acular (active ingredient: ketorolac tromethamine) is a prescription eye medication used to reduce inflammation and relieve certain types of eye discomfort.
It is commonly prescribed after cataract surgery and may also be used to temporarily relieve itchy eyes caused by seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
Acular is applied directly to the eye as an ophthalmic solution. It works locally in the treated eye and should be used exactly as directed by a healthcare provider.
Cataract surgery involves removing the cloudy natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. Mild inflammation is common after this procedure because the tissues inside the eye have been disturbed.
Postoperative eye inflammation may cause:
Acular helps reduce the inflammatory response after surgery. This may improve comfort and support the healing process.
It may be used alone or together with other eye medications, such as antibiotic or corticosteroid eye drops, depending on the treatment plan.
Acular may also be used for the temporary relief of itchy eyes caused by seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis occurs when the eyes react to airborne allergens such as:
When an allergen enters the eye, the body releases inflammatory substances. These substances can cause itching, redness, watering, burning, swelling, and irritation.
Acular helps reduce the inflammatory substances involved in this reaction and may provide relief from eye itching.
Depending on why it is prescribed, Acular may help reduce:
Its main approved uses are inflammation after cataract surgery and temporary relief of allergy-related eye itching.
Acular belongs to a group of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.
The body produces substances called prostaglandins in response to injury, surgery, or irritation. Prostaglandins contribute to inflammation, swelling, pain, redness, and itching.
Acular blocks enzymes called cyclooxygenase enzymes, which are involved in producing prostaglandins. By reducing prostaglandin production, the medication helps decrease inflammation and discomfort in the eye.
Because Acular is applied directly to the eye, it delivers the medication to the affected area.
Only a small amount is usually absorbed into the rest of the body. However, side effects and medication interactions are still possible, particularly with prolonged use or in people who are sensitive to NSAIDs.
Acular does not treat every cause of eye redness, itching, or pain.
It does not treat:
These conditions may require different treatment. A healthcare provider should assess symptoms that are severe, persistent, or accompanied by discharge or vision changes.
Acular may be prescribed with other ophthalmic medications. When more than one type of eye drop is used, the drops usually need to be separated by several minutes.
This helps prevent one medication from washing another out of the eye.
Follow the schedule provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Do not add other eye drops without medical guidance.
Contact lenses should usually be removed before applying Acular.
Do not wear contact lenses while the eye is red, painful, inflamed, infected, or recovering from surgery unless an eye-care professional says it is safe.
The preservative in some eye-drop formulations may be absorbed by soft contact lenses.
The length of treatment depends on why Acular is being used.
After cataract surgery, the drops may be used for a limited period during recovery. For seasonal eye allergies, they may be used temporarily while symptoms are present.
Do not continue treatment longer than prescribed. Prolonged use of ophthalmic NSAIDs may increase the risk of delayed healing or damage to the surface of the eye.
Use Acular only in the eye. Do not swallow it or apply it to the skin.
Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye, eyelid, fingers, or another surface. This can contaminate the bottle and increase the risk of infection.
Temporary stinging or blurred vision may occur after the drops are applied. Avoid driving or performing activities that require clear vision until your eyesight returns to normal.
Contact a healthcare provider if symptoms do not improve, become worse, or return after treatment.
Seek prompt medical attention if you develop:
These symptoms may indicate an infection, delayed healing, or another condition requiring medical assessment.
Wash and dry your hands before using Acular. This helps reduce the risk of contaminating the medication or causing an eye infection.
Do not touch the dropper tip with your fingers. Avoid allowing it to touch your eye, eyelid, or any other surface.
Remove contact lenses before applying Acular, unless your eye-care professional has told you otherwise.
Tilt your head back and look upward. Gently pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pouch.
Hold the dropper directly above the eye and place one drop into the pouch formed by the lower eyelid.
Avoid touching the eye with the dropper tip.
After applying the drop:
Do not blink repeatedly or rub your eye.
Repeat these steps for the other eye only if directed.
Do not rinse the dropper tip. Replace the cap securely after each use.
If any medication spills onto the skin, gently wipe it away with a clean tissue.
If you use more than one type of eye drop, wait at least 5 minutes between medications.
Follow the order recommended by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Eye ointments are usually applied after eye drops.
Use Acular exactly as prescribed. Do not use more drops, apply them more often, or continue treatment longer than directed.
The length of treatment depends on why Acular was prescribed. Do not assume that everyone should stop after two weeks. After cataract surgery, the prescribed treatment period may be longer.
Using ophthalmic NSAIDs for longer than recommended may increase the risk of delayed healing, bleeding, or damage to the surface of the eye.
Contact a healthcare provider if you develop severe eye pain, worsening redness, persistent blurred vision, discharge, increased sensitivity to light, or changes in vision.
Seek prompt medical advice if the eye does not appear to be healing or if symptoms become worse during treatment.
Acular (Ketorolac) is available in the following forms and strength:
Use Acular carefully if you have an eye injury, corneal damage, or problems with eye healing. Ketorolac eye drops may slow the healing process in some people.
The risk of delayed healing may be higher when Acular is used with corticosteroid eye drops, such as prednisolone or dexamethasone. Tell your healthcare provider about all eye medications you use.
Acular may cause breathing difficulties or worsen asthma symptoms in people who are sensitive to aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs.
Tell your healthcare provider if you have asthma, nasal polyps, or a history of wheezing, breathing problems, or allergic reactions after taking aspirin or another NSAID.
Seek immediate medical care if you develop wheezing, chest tightness, facial swelling, or difficulty breathing.
Do not use Acular if you have had a serious allergic reaction to ketorolac, aspirin, or another NSAID.
Signs of an allergic reaction may include:
Remove contact lenses before applying Acular. Do not use the eye drops while wearing contact lenses.
Do not wear contact lenses if your eyes are red, painful, inflamed, infected, or healing after surgery unless your eye-care professional confirms that it is safe.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant.
Acular should only be used during pregnancy when a healthcare provider determines that the expected benefit outweighs the potential risk. Ophthalmic NSAIDs are generally avoided during the later stages of pregnancy unless specifically recommended.
Tell your healthcare provider if you are breastfeeding. A healthcare provider will consider the need for treatment and the possible risks before recommending Acular.
Acular may increase the risk of bleeding in or around the eye, particularly after eye surgery.
The risk may be higher if you:
Tell your healthcare provider about any history of bleeding problems and all medications or supplements you take.
Contact a healthcare provider promptly if you notice unusual bleeding, increasing redness, severe eye pain, vision changes, or blood inside the eye.
No. Remove your contact lenses before applying Acular. Do not wear contact lenses while your eyes are red, painful, inflamed, infected, or healing after eye surgery unless your eye-care professional says it is safe.
Apply the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, skip it if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply extra drops or use two doses at the same time to make up for the missed dose.
Yes, but leave at least 5 minutes between Acular and other eye drops. This prevents one medication from washing the other out of the eye. Follow the order recommended by your healthcare provider or pharmacist. Eye ointments are generally applied after eye drops.
The length of treatment depends on why Acular was prescribed. After cataract surgery, it is commonly used for up to two weeks. Treatment for allergy-related eye itching may follow a different schedule. Do not continue using Acular longer than prescribed. Prolonged use may delay healing or increase the risk of damage to the surface of the eye.
Store Acular at room temperature, generally between 15°C and 25°C. Keep the bottle away from excessive heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the cap tightly closed and store the medication out of the reach of children and pets. Do not use the drops after the expiry date.
No. Do not share your eye drops, even if another person has similar symptoms. Sharing the bottle can spread bacteria or other microorganisms, contaminate the medication, and increase the risk of eye infection or other complications.
