Molecule Description
Ketorolac+Ofloxacin is used to relieve pain, redness, and swelling after cataract surgery, and to treat or prevent eye infections. It contains two active ingredients: Ketorolac, which reduces pain and inflammation, and Ofloxacin, an antibiotic that fights infection-causing bacteria in the eye.
Before using the medicine, wash your hands, shake the bottle, and apply the medicine carefully as directed by your doctor. You may feel mild eye irritation, redness, or watery eyes after using it. Avoid using it if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, allergic to any ingredients, or wear contact lenses (wait 15 minutes before reinserting them). Also, avoid driving until your vision clears after using the medicine.
Store the eye drops in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and out of reach of children. If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember, but do not take a double dose. If your condition does not improve or worsens, please notify your doctor.

Other General Warnings
Talk to your doctor if
- If you are exposed to sunlight or UV light.
- If your eye infection is not getting better or is getting worse.
- If you have heart problems (such as irregular heartbeat or low potassium levels) or take heart-related medications, this eye drop may affect your heart rhythm.
- If you have a damaged or ulcerated cornea, or other eye conditions like dry eyes.
- If you wear contact lenses, remove them before using the medicine and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Ketorolac works by blocking certain natural substances in your body (called prostaglandins) that cause pain and inflammation. By reducing these substances, ketorolac helps ease pain and swelling.
- Ofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by killing the bacteria causing an infection in your eye. It does this by stopping the bacteria from growing and multiplying. Bacteria need to copy their genetic material (DNA) to survive and spread, and ofloxacin blocks this process.
Dosage
Overdose
As Ketorolac+Ofloxacin is meant for external application, instances of overdose are unlikely. However, in the event of accidental ingestion, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital. If you have applied an excess amount, please remove the surplus medicine with tissue or cotton.
Missed a Dose
If you miss a dose of your eye drop, use it as soon as you remember. However, if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not use extra drops to make up for the missed dose.
