Acuvail contains the active ingredient ketorolac tromethamine. It is a prescription eye drop used to reduce pain and inflammation after cataract surgery.
Acuvail may be prescribed after cataract surgery to help reduce symptoms such as:
It is usually used for a short period during recovery, as directed by your eye-care professional.
Acuvail belongs to a group of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
It works by reducing the production of substances called prostaglandins, which contribute to pain and inflammation.
By lowering prostaglandin activity in the eye, Acuvail can help make recovery after cataract surgery more comfortable.
Acuvail helps control pain and inflammation, but it does not treat an eye infection.
Use it exactly as prescribed and contact your eye-care professional if your pain, redness, swelling, or vision becomes worse.
Acuvail is an eye drop used around the time of cataract surgery to help reduce pain and inflammation.
Use it exactly as directed by your eye-care professional.
The usual dose is 1 drop in the affected eye twice daily.
When to Start Acuvail
Treatment usually starts 1 day before cataract surgery.
Continue using it:
Your eye-care professional may give you a different schedule based on your needs.
Pressing on the inner corner of your eye may help reduce the amount of medication that drains into your nose and throat.
Do not let the tip of the container touch your eye, fingers, or another surface.
This can contaminate the medication and increase the risk of an eye infection.
If you use other eye drops, wait at least 5 minutes between medications.
If you also use an eye ointment, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist which product should be used first.
If you miss a dose of Acuvail, use it as soon as you remember.
If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
Do not use more drops or use them more often than recommended.
Contact your eye-care professional if your eye pain, redness, swelling, or vision becomes worse, or if you develop unusual symptoms after surgery.
Acuvail (Ketorolac) is available in the following forms and strength:
Tell your healthcare provider if you have ever had asthma, nasal polyps, hives, or another allergic reaction after taking aspirin or another NSAID.
Acuvail contains ketorolac, which is also an NSAID. People with this type of sensitivity may have a higher risk of an allergic reaction.
Seek medical attention right away if you develop swelling, wheezing, rash, or trouble breathing.
Acuvail may affect platelet function and can increase the risk of bleeding.
Tell your healthcare provider if you:
Your eye-care professional may monitor you more closely around the time of surgery.
Like other topical NSAIDs, Acuvail may slow or delay healing after eye surgery.
The risk may be higher if you are also using corticosteroid eye drops.
Use Acuvail only for the length of time prescribed.
Rarely, topical NSAIDs can cause serious problems with the cornea, the clear surface at the front of the eye.
These problems may include:
The risk may be higher in people who already have corneal disease, dry eye, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or complicated eye surgery.
Contact your eye-care professional right away if you develop worsening eye pain, severe redness, or vision changes.
Do not continue Acuvail longer than prescribed.
Using topical NSAIDs for longer than recommended may increase the risk of serious corneal side effects.
For cataract surgery, Acuvail is typically used from 1 day before surgery through 2 weeks after surgery.
If you use more than one eye medication, wait at least 5 minutes between different eye drops.
This helps prevent one medication from washing the other out of your eye.
Tell your healthcare provider about all medications you use, including:
Some combinations may increase the risk of bleeding or delayed healing.
Your vision may be temporarily blurred after you use Acuvail.
Wait until your vision is clear before driving, operating machinery, or doing anything that requires clear eyesight.
Only a small amount of ketorolac is absorbed into the bloodstream when Acuvail is used in the eye.
Even so, tell your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease or other serious medical conditions so they can decide whether Acuvail is appropriate for you.
Because very little ketorolac reaches the bloodstream from eye drops, stomach-related NSAID effects are less common than with oral NSAIDs.
Still, tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of stomach ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding, or serious reactions to NSAIDs.
Contact your eye-care professional if you develop worsening pain, redness, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or changes in vision while using Acuvail.
Do not use Acuvail for longer than prescribed without having your eye re-evaluated.
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for a missed dose.
You should generally avoid wearing contact lenses while using Acuvail, especially while your eye is healing after cataract surgery. Ask your eye-care professional when it is safe to start wearing contact lenses again.
Store Acuvail at room temperature, usually between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Protect it from light and keep it in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. Do not freeze Acuvail. Keep it out of the reach of children and pets.
For cataract surgery, Acuvail is usually started 1 day before surgery, continued on the day of surgery, and then used for 2 weeks after surgery. Do not continue using it longer than prescribed. Using topical NSAID eye drops for longer than recommended may increase the risk of delayed healing or serious corneal problems.
