ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC belongs to the group of ophthalmic agents used to treat symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is a common eye inflammation caused by an allergic reaction to allergens, especially during hay fever season. It is the body’s reaction against substances it considers potentially harmful.
ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC contains Alcaftadine and Ketorolac. Alcaftadine blocks the action of histamine, which causes allergic reactions such as itching, redness, and swelling. Ketorolac blocks the chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation. Together, ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC treats allergic conjunctivitis.
ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC is meant for ophthalmic use only. Use it in the dose and duration advised by the physician. In some cases, ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC may cause certain common side effects such as irritation, burning sensation and sore eyes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.
It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC. Notify the doctor if you have a known allergy to NSAIDs. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed in case you are waiting to undergo any surgery or dental procedure. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery immediately after using ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC as it may cause blurred vision.
Allergic Conjunctivitis.
ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC contains Alcaftadine and Ketorolac. Alcaftadine is an anti-histamine. It blocks the effects of histamine, a chemical produced in the body that mediates allergic reactions. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It works by reducing the levels of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins that cause pain and inflammation. Thus, ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC treats allergic conjunctivitis.
ALCAFTADINE+KETOROLAC should not be used in case of any known allergy to either of the components or in case of an allergy to NSAIDs. Inform your doctor if you have bleeding/blood-clotting disorder, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, or dry eye syndrome. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
