Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Aspirin/NSAID sensitivity: Use with caution in patients with previous sensitivity to acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid derivatives, and other NSAIDs including patients who experience bronchospasm, asthma, rhinitis, or urticaria following NSAID or aspirin therapy.

• Corneal effects: May cause keratitis; continued use may cause severe corneal adverse effects, including corneal thinning, erosion, perforation, or ulceration; may result in loss of vision. Discontinue use in patients with evidence of corneal epithelial damage.

• Delayed healing: Healing time may be slowed or delayed. Use with caution in patients receiving concomitant topical steroid therapy due to an increased risk for healing problems.

Disease-related concerns:

• Bleeding disorders: Use with caution in patients with a predisposition to bleeding (bleeding tendencies or medications which interfere with coagulation). Increased intraocular bleeding (including hyphema) has been reported following surgery.

• Diabetes: Use with caution in patients with diabetes mellitus; may be at risk of corneal adverse events, potentially resulting in loss of vision.

• Ocular disease: Use with caution in patients with complicated ocular surgeries, corneal denervation, corneal epithelial defects, ocular surface disease, or repeat ocular surgeries (within a short timeframe); may be at risk of corneal adverse events, potentially resulting in loss of vision.

• Rheumatoid arthritis: Use with caution in patients with rheumatoid arthritis; may be at risk of corneal adverse events, potentially resulting in loss of vision.

Special populations:

• Postsurgical patients: To minimize the risk of infection following surgery of both eyes, two separate bottles of eye drops (one for each eye) should be used; instruct patients not to use the same bottle for both eyes.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Benzalkonium chloride: May contain benzalkonium chloride as a preservative.

Other warnings/precautions:

• Appropriate use: The safety and efficacy of Acular LS (0.4% solution) has not been established in postcataract surgery patients.

• Contact lenses: Contact lenses should be removed prior to instillation (contains benzalkonium chloride, which may be adsorbed by contact lens); may be reinserted after 15 minutes (Acular Canadian product monograph).

• Duration of therapy: Use for more than 1 day prior to surgery or for 14 days beyond surgery may increase risk and severity of corneal adverse events.

Acuvail: 0.45% (0.4 mL)

Generic: 0.5% (5 mL, 10 mL)

Administration: Adult

Ophthalmic: For topical ophthalmic use only. Remove contact lenses prior to administration and wait 15 minutes before reinserting. May be used with other eye drops. If using more than 1 ophthalmic product, wait at least 5 minutes between application of each medication. Minimize contamination by not touching the eyelids or surrounding areas with the dropper tip; keep bottle tightly closed when not in use. Also, to minimize the risk of infection following surgery of both eyes, two separate bottles of eye drops (one for each eye) should be used; instruct patients not to use the same bottle for both eyes.

Administration: Pediatric

For ophthalmic use only. May contain benzalkonium chloride which may be absorbed by contact lenses; contact lenses should not be worn during treatment. Instill drops into affected eye(s); avoid contact of container tip with skin or eyes; wait at least 5 minutes before administering other ophthalmic drops. Apply gentle pressure to lacrimal sac during and immediately following instillation (1 minute) or instruct patient to gently close eyelid after administration, to decrease systemic absorption of ophthalmic drops (Ref). To minimize the risk of infection following surgery of both eyes, two separate bottles of eye drops (one for each eye) should be used; instruct patients not to use the same bottle for both eyes.

Use: Labeled Indications

Drug Interactions

Note: Interacting drugs may not be individually listed below if they are part of a group interaction (eg, individual drugs within “CYP3A4 Inducers [Strong]” are NOT listed). For a complete list of drug interactions by individual drug name and detailed management recommendations, use the Lexicomp drug interactions program by clicking on the “Launch drug interactions program” link above.

Anticoagulants: Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (Ophthalmic) may enhance the anticoagulant effect of Anticoagulants. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Corticosteroids (Ophthalmic): Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (Ophthalmic) may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Corticosteroids (Ophthalmic). Healing of ophthalmic tissue during concomitant administration of ophthalmic products may be delayed. Risk C: Monitor therapy

Prostaglandins (Ophthalmic): Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (Ophthalmic) may diminish the therapeutic effect of Prostaglandins (Ophthalmic). Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Agents (Ophthalmic) may enhance the therapeutic effect of Prostaglandins (Ophthalmic). Risk C: Monitor therapy

Pregnancy Considerations

Adverse events have been observed in animal reproduction studies. Systemic exposure is decreased with ophthalmic administration (concentrations are ~4% to 8% of the minimum plasma concentration following an oral dose). If ophthalmic agents are needed during pregnancy, the minimum effective dose should be used in combination with punctal occlusion to decrease potential exposure to the fetus (Samples 1988). However, because it may cause prenatal constriction of the ductus arteriosus, the manufacturer recommends that the use of ketorolac ophthalmic drops late in pregnancy be avoided.

Breastfeeding Considerations

When administered orally, ketorolac enters breast milk; systemic exposure is decreased with ophthalmic administration (concentrations are ~4% to 8% of the minimum plasma concentration following an oral dose). The manufacturer recommends that caution be used when administering ketorolac ophthalmic to breast-feeding women.

Mechanism of Action

Inhibits prostaglandin synthesis by decreasing the activity of the enzyme, cyclooxygenase 1 and 2, which results in decreased formation of prostaglandin precursors.

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Absorption: Following instillation of ketorolac 0.5% ophthalmic drops 3 times/day, the mean plasma concentrations of ketorolac are ~4% to 8% of the minimum concentration observed following oral doses of 10 mg 4 times/day.
