Acular LS Ophthalmic Solution is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that reduces eye pain and inflammation. Specifically formulated for ophthalmic use, Acular LS (ketorolac tromethamine) is often prescribed following cataract surgery or corneal refractive surgery to manage pain and reduce swelling. Additionally, it can be used to treat seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and other conditions as determined by an eye care professional.
Acular LS contains ketorolac tromethamine as its active ingredient. This drug works by inhibiting the production of natural substances in the eye that cause inflammation. Ketorolac reduces swelling, itching, and pain symptoms by reducing these substances. Its lower concentration formulation (0.4% compared to the regular 0.5% solution) offers effective relief with potentially fewer side effects, making it suitable for sensitive post-surgery eyes.
| Usage | Acular LS is administered directly into the eye as drops. The dosage and duration of treatment are determined based on the condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. For post-operative inflammation, it is commonly used four times a day starting 24 hours after surgery for a duration specified by the physician. Following the doctor’s instructions carefully regarding how many drops and how often to use them is crucial. Patients should not wear contact lenses unless advised by their doctor and wait at least 15 minutes after application before inserting them. |

| Storage | Store Acular LS at room temperature away from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Dispose of the bottle as advised by a pharmacist or local waste disposal company, especially if it is expired or no longer needed. It is essential to keep this and all medications out of the reach of children and pets. |
| Special Precautions | Prior to using Acular LS, patients should inform their healthcare provider about their complete medical history, especially if they have any allergies, previous eye conditions, or if they are currently using any other eye medications. Patients undergoing surgical procedures, pregnant women, or those breastfeeding should discuss the use of Acular LS with their healthcare provider to weigh potential risks and benefits. |
| Overdose | In case an overdose of Acular LS is suspected, it is important to contact a healthcare provider or emergency services immediately. Although an overdose of this medication taken via the eye route is not typically expected to produce life-threatening symptoms, large doses accidentally ingested or misuse could lead to adverse reactions. |
