Ophthalmic surgical irrigation: Added to an ophthalmic irrigation solution to prevent intraoperative miosis and to reduce postoperative ocular pain during cataract surgery or intraocular lens replacement
Hypersensitivity to phenylephrine, ketorolac, or any component of the formulation
Surgical irrigation: Ophthalmic: Use diluted irrigation solution as needed during the surgical procedure.
Refer to adult dosing.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer 's labeling.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer 's labeling.
Prior to use, dilute 4 mL of phenylephrine 1%/ketorolac 0.3% solution in 500 mL of ophthalmic irrigation solution.
For ophthalmic irrigation during surgery. Must be diluted prior to use. Do not use if irrigation solution is cloudy or contains particulate matter.
Store between 20 ‹ šC and 25 ‹ šC (68 ‹ šF and 77 ‹ šF). Protect from light. Following dilution in ophthalmic irrigation solution, do not store for more than 4 hours at room temperature or 24 hours under refrigeration.
Excipient information presented when available (limited, particularly for generics); consult specific product labeling.
Solution, Intraocular:
Omidria: Phenylephrine 1% and Ketorolac 0.3 % (4 mL)
Alpha1-Blockers: May diminish the vasoconstricting effect of Alpha1-Agonists. Similarly, Alpha1-Agonists may antagonize Alpha1-Blocker vasodilation. Monitor therapy
AtoMOXetine: May enhance the hypertensive effect of Sympathomimetics. AtoMOXetine may enhance the tachycardic effect of Sympathomimetics. Monitor therapy
Cannabinoid-Containing Products: May enhance the tachycardic effect of Sympathomimetics. Exceptions: Cannabidiol. Monitor therapy
Corticosteroids (Ophthalmic): NSAID (Ophthalmic) may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Corticosteroids (Ophthalmic). Healing of ophthalmic tissue during concomitant administration of ophthalmic products may be delayed. Exceptions: Loteprednol. Monitor therapy
Doxofylline: Sympathomimetics may enhance the adverse/toxic effect of Doxofylline. Monitor therapy
Ergot Derivatives: May enhance the hypertensive effect of Alpha1-Agonists. Ergot Derivatives may enhance the vasoconstricting effect of Alpha1-Agonists. Exceptions: Ergoloid Mesylates; Nicergoline. Avoid combination
Iobenguane I 123: Sympathomimetics may diminish the therapeutic effect of Iobenguane I 123. Avoid combination
Linezolid: May enhance the hypertensive effect of Sympathomimetics. Management: Reduce initial doses of sympathomimetic agents, and closely monitor for enhanced pressor response, in patients receiving linezolid. Specific dose adjustment recommendations are not presently available. Consider therapy modification
MAO Inhibitors: May enhance the hypertensive effect of Alpha1-Agonists. While linezolid is expected to interact via this mechanism, management recommendations differ from other monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Refer to linezolid specific monographs for details. Exceptions: Linezolid; Tedizolid. Avoid combination
Sympathomimetics: May enhance the adverse/toxic effect of other Sympathomimetics. Monitor therapy
Tedizolid: May enhance the hypertensive effect of Sympathomimetics. Tedizolid may enhance the tachycardic effect of Sympathomimetics. Monitor therapy
Tricyclic Antidepressants: May enhance the vasopressor effect of Alpha1-Agonists. Tricyclic Antidepressants may diminish the vasopressor effect of Alpha1-Agonists. Monitor therapy
>10%:
Ophthalmic: Anterior chamber inflammation (24%)
1% to 10%:
Central Nervous System: Foreign body sensation of eye (2%)
Ophthalmic: Increased intraocular pressure (4%), posterior capsule opacification (4%), eye irritation (2%)
<1% (Limited to important or life-threatening): Elevated blood pressure (systemic exposure to phenylephrine)
Concerns related to adverse effects:
- Hypersensitivity: Cross sensitivity or hypersensitivity may occur in patients with previous sensitivities to acetylsalicylic acid, phenylacetic acid, or other nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Use caution in patients with known sensitivities to these medications. Bronchospasm or exacerbation of asthma has been reported following ketorolac use in patients with previous sensitivity to aspirin/NSAIDs or history of asthma.
- Hypertension: Low concentrations of phenylephrine can be detected systemically following ophthalmic irrigation and may cause elevations in blood pressure.
- Light sensitivity (ocular): May cause sensitivity to light.
C
Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with this combination. Low concentrations of both ketorolac and phenylephrine can be detected systemically following ophthalmic irrigation. Because premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetus has occurred with third trimester use of NSAIDs, avoid use of this product in late in pregnancy.
Ketorolac: NSAID that inhibits both COX-1 and COX-2 cyclooxygenase enzymes; it decreases prostaglandin concentrations which reduces surgical pain and also prevents surgically induced contraction of the pupil.
Phenylephrine: Alpha1-adrenergic receptor agonist; it causes dilation of the pupil by contracting the radial muscle of the iris
Systemic absorption following irrigation is low to undetectable. Following irrigation with diluted phenylephrine/ketorolac solution, plasma concentrations of phenylephrine were 1.2 to 1.4 ng/mL within 2 hours and plasma concentrations of ketorolac were 1 to 4.2 ng/mL within 8 hours.
- Discuss specific use of drug and side effects with patient as it relates to treatment. (HCAHPS: During this hospital stay, were you given any medicine that you had not taken before? Before giving you any new medicine, how often did hospital staff tell you what the medicine was for? How often did hospital staff describe possible side effects in a way you could understand?)
- Have patient report immediately to prescriber severe eye irritation, severe headache, or severe dizziness (HCAHPS).
- Educate patient about signs of a significant reaction (eg, wheezing; chest tightness; fever; itching; bad cough; blue skin color; seizures; or swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat). Note: This is not a comprehensive list of all side effects. Patient should consult prescriber for additional questions.
