Lopadol Eye Drop 0.50% contains Ketorolac Tromethamine, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used in ophthalmology to relieve pain, redness, and inflammation of the eye. It is commonly prescribed after eye surgery and in allergic or inflammatory eye conditions to provide effective symptomatic relief.
This sterile ophthalmic solution helps improve comfort and reduces inflammatory responses in the eye.
