Molecule Description
Ketorolac+Olopatadine is a combination medicine containing olopatadine and ketorolac as active ingredients. It is used to treat eye allergic conditions. This medicine should be applied only to the affected eye. Follow the dosage and duration your doctor prescribes and check the label for specific instructions before use. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly before applying the medication. It's important to complete the entire course of treatment, even if you start feeling better. Common side effects may include burning, irritation, and a stinging sensation at the application site, which are typically temporary. If these symptoms persist, contact your doctor. If the solution accidentally enters your ears, nose, or mouth, rinse thoroughly with water.
