What is Ketorolac Trometamol?

Ketorolac Trometamol, the active ingredient in Ketorolac Micro Labs, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an ophthalmic solution for ocular (topical) use. It treats postoperative ocular inflammation and ocular pain after surgery.

GNH USA supplies Ketorolac Micro Labs as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, transplant centres, oncology centres, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ketorolac Trometamol used for?

Ketorolac Trometamol is an NSAID used to manage inflammation and pain in the eye.

- Postoperative ocular inflammation: reduces swelling, redness and cellular infiltrate after eye surgery. - Ocular pain after surgery: provides analgesia to alleviate discomfort following ocular procedures. - Inflammatory ocular conditions: mitigates the inflammatory response in various eye disorders where topical NSAID therapy is appropriate.

What are the side effects of Ketorolac Trometamol?

Ketorolac ophthalmic solution may cause local ocular reactions and, rarely, severe systemic or ocular events.

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation upon instillation. - Transient blurred vision. - Foreign body sensation. - Mild conjunctival hyperemia. - Increased tearing. - Temporary eyelid edema.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) with swelling of the eyelids or face. - Corneal ulceration or epithelial defect. - Persistent intra‑ocular inflammation. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis involving the eye. - Significant vision loss. - Severe ocular pain unresponsive to therapy.

What precautions apply to Ketorolac Trometamol?

Before using Ketorolac ophthalmic solution, consider the following safety measures.

- NSAID hypersensitivity: avoid if the patient has known allergy to ketorolac or other NSAIDs. - Corneal disease: do not use in patients with active corneal ulceration or epithelial defects. - Intra‑ocular pressure: monitor IOP in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. - Cardiovascular risk: use cautiously in patients with a history of cardiovascular disease or thromboembolic disorders. - Concurrent ocular NSAIDs: avoid simultaneous use of other topical NSAIDs to reduce additive toxicity. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from light and moisture, and do not freeze.

What does Ketorolac Trometamol interact with?

Ketorolac ophthalmic solution can interact with systemic and ocular medications; awareness helps minimize adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Systemic NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen, naproxen): increased risk of bleeding and additive renal effects. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants): heightened potential for ocular hemorrhage. - Corticosteroid eye drops: may diminish anti‑inflammatory efficacy when used concurrently.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Beta‑blocker eye drops: possible alteration of intra‑ocular pressure control. - Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): monitor renal function if systemic exposure is significant. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: observe for any changes in blood pressure or renal parameters when systemic NSAID absorption occurs.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ketorolac Micro Labs used for?+
Ketorolac Micro Labs is an ophthalmic solution containing ketorolac trometamol, a topical NSAID indicated for the treatment of postoperative ocular inflammation and pain following eye surgery. It helps reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort in the treated eye.
How does ketorolac trometamol work in the eye?+
Ketorolac trometamol blocks the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes in ocular tissues, preventing the formation of prostaglandins that drive inflammation and pain. By lowering prostaglandin levels, it diminishes vascular leakage, cellular infiltration, and nociceptive signaling, leading to reduced swelling and analgesia.
What is the usual dose of Ketorolac Micro Labs?+
The dosing regimen for Ketorolac Micro Labs is determined by the prescribing ophthalmologist based on the type of surgery, severity of inflammation, and patient-specific factors. The prescriber will specify the number of drops, frequency, and duration of therapy.
Is Ketorolac Micro Labs safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of ketorolac trometamol in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision should be made by the treating physician.
How do I order Ketorolac Micro Labs from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, indicating the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Ketorolac Micro Labs compare with other ocular anti‑inflammatories?+
Ketorolac is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory eye drop, offering anti‑inflammatory and analgesic effects without the steroid‑related risks of intra‑ocular pressure rise or cataract formation. Compared with corticosteroid eye drops, ketorolac provides a favorable safety profile for short‑term postoperative use, though it may be less potent for severe inflammation.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Ketorolac Micro Labs?+
Store the ophthalmic solution at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original container. Protect it from light and moisture, and keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Do not freeze the product.
How is Ketorolac Micro Labs administered?+
Ketorolac Micro Labs is applied topically to the eye as directed by the ophthalmologist. Typically, one or more drops are placed in the affected eye(s) at the prescribed frequency, avoiding contact with the eyelid or lashes, and the bottle tip should be kept clean.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ketorolac Micro Labs?+
Serious risks, though rare, include severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, corneal ulceration or epithelial defects, persistent intra‑ocular inflammation, Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and significant vision loss. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they experience worsening pain, redness, or visual changes.
Who should not use Ketorolac Micro Labs?+
Ketorolac Micro Labs should be avoided in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketorolac or other NSAIDs, active corneal ulcers or epithelial defects, uncontrolled glaucoma, or those taking systemic anticoagulants where ocular bleeding risk is a concern. The prescribing clinician will assess suitability on an individual basis.
