How does Acular LS work?
Acular LS is a part of the pyrrolo-pyrrole group of NSAIDS, and are specifically indicated for ophthalmic use. It contains active ketorolac tromethamine at 0.4%, preservative benzalkonium chloride at 0.006%, and inactive sodium chloride, edetate disodium, octoxynol 40, hydrochloric acid and/or sodium hydroxide for PH adjustment, and purified water.
It is supplied as a sterile isotonic aqueous solution with an approximate pH of 7.4, with a racemic mixture of R-( ) and S-(-)-keterolac tromethamine. This specific formulation is designed to combat any irritation, swelling, redness, or itchiness that may be experienced due to either seasonal allergies, or as a side effect of eye surgeries. When administered systematically, it has shown anti-pyretic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic activity and has the ability to inhibit prostaglandin biosynthesis.
Treatment Details
Acular LS is used 2 to 4 times a day depending on the reason for usage. It is up to the doctor to give a recommended dosage. When eye drops are applied, the patient should close that eye for 2 to 3 minutes with the head tipped down without squinting or blinking. A finger should be gently pressed into the corner of the eye to prevent the liquid from draining into the tear duct. 5 minutes between drop application is recommended, and if any other eye drops are prescribed, there should be a 10-minute gap between their application.
How long does Acular LS last?
For cataract surgery, eye drops are used 1 day before the operation, and may continue for up to 2 weeks afterward. Corneal refractive surgery will necessitate four times daily use for up to four days after surgery.
