Description

Acular 0.5% w/v Eye Drops are designed for topical application to the eye. The active constituent, Ketorolac Trometamol, works by inhibiting the production of prostaglandins—natural substances in the body that signal pain and inflammation. This clear, aqueous solution is commonly utilised in clinical and veterinary settings to reduce swelling, redness, and irritation following certain procedures or to manage specific inflammatory conditions of the eye surface.

The generic version of Acular is Ketorolac & can be purchased here; https://www.weldricks.co.uk/products/ketorolac-eye-drops-5ml

FAQ

Can I buy Acular Eye Drops without a prescription?

No. Acular is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM). We require a valid prescription from a UK-registered doctor or a veterinary surgeon before we can dispense this medication.

How should this product be stored?

Acular should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bottle is tightly closed when not in use. Discard the bottle 28 days after first opening to maintain sterility.

Is this product suitable for use with other eye drops?

Yes, but you must leave a gap of at least 5 minutes between applying different types of eye drops to ensure each is absorbed correctly. Always follow your prescriber's specific routine.

Directions

Please follow the specific dosing instructions provided by your prescriber or as noted on the pharmacy dispensing label.

  1. Preparation: Wash hands thoroughly before use.
  2. Application: Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the bottle upside down near the eye without touching the dropper tip to any surface (to avoid contamination).
  3. Dosing: Squeeze the bottle to release one drop into the pocket.
