Some burning and watering when using ACUPAT eye drops is a common and generally expected side effect due to their active ingredients.

🩺 Why Burning and Watering Occur

ACUPAT contains Ketorolac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) and Olopatadine (an antihistamine). Ketorolac can cause irritation like burning sensation and eye discomfort, while Olopatadine works to reduce allergy but sometimes also causes mild irritation. These symptoms usually improve with time as your eyes adjust to the medication.

⚠️ When to Be Concerned

• If the burning or watering is severe, persistent, or worsening
• If you notice additional symptoms like eye pain, redness, swelling, or vision changes
• If you develop signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling of the lips, face, or difficulty breathing

🏥 What You Should Do

• Continue using ACUPAT as prescribed unless symptoms become intolerable
• Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye to prevent contamination
• Rinse your eye gently with clean water if you experience excessive discomfort after a dose
• Inform your ophthalmologist (eye specialist) about these side effects to ensure they are expected and to rule out other issues

It’s good practice to report any unusual or severe symptoms to your eye doctor promptly. They can decide if you need an alternative treatment or additional care.
