Kt 0.5 % Eye Drops 5 ML contains Ketorolac (0.5%), which works on your eyes in the following ways:

• Inhibits Prostaglandin Synthesis: Ketorolac blocks the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for causing pain and inflammation in the body. By doing so, it reduces the redness, swelling and discomfort associated with eye inflammation.

• Limits Postoperative Inflammation: By preventing prostaglandin synthesis at the site of surgery, Ketorolac helps manage inflammation in ocular tissues after procedures such as cataract surgery.

• Prevents Histamine Release: Ketorolac stabilises mast cells in your eyes, preventing them from releasing histamine. Histamine is a chemical that causes itching and other allergy symptoms. Therefore, this action helps relieve itchy eyes caused by allergies.

• Ensure Kt 0.5 % Eye Drops 5 ML should be stored at room temperature.

• Maintain the integrity of the medicine by keeping it away from direct light and moisture.

• Always keep the bottle cap tightly closed when not in use.

• Position this medicine out of reach and sight of children.

• If you're managing postoperative inflammation or allergic conjunctivitis with Kt 0.5 % Eye Drops 5 ML, try to reduce your exposure to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and pet dander. This can be achieved by cleaning your living space regularly and using hypoallergenic bedding.
