Acular Opht

Drug Interactions


Generic Name: KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE 0.5% SOLUTION - OPHTHALMIC
Pronounced: (kee-TOE-row-lack trow-METH-uh-meen)

Acular Opht Interactions

Your healthcare professionals (e.g., doctor or pharmacist) may already be aware of any possible drug interactions and may be monitoring you for it. Do not start, stop or change the dosage of any medicine before checking with them first.

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all prescription and nonprescription/herbal products you may use, especially of:

  • anti-platelet medications (e.g., clopidogrel)
  • "blood thinners" (e.g., warfarin)
  • corticosteroid drugs (e.g., prednisone)
  • other eye medications (e.g., corticosteroid eye drops)


Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen) which, if used together with ketorolac, may increase your risk for bleeding. Low-dose aspirin, as prescribed by your doctor for specific medical reasons such as heart attack or stroke prevention (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams per day), should be continued. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.

This document does not contain all possible interactions. Therefore, before using this product, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the products you use. Keep a list of all your medications with you, and share the list with your doctor and pharmacist.
