EFFICIENCY OF BOTH OLOPATADINE HCL AND KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE

Olopatadine is used to sooth the irritation related with allergic conjunctivitis because of its following properties-:

• Anti histaminic- blocks the histamine enzyme resulting in a decreased permeability of vessel in turn preventing watery eyes and itching.
• Anti cholinergic- it helps in dilating the muscles of the eye by blocking the muscle receptors present in the eye.
• Mast cell stabilization- stabilizing the action of mast cells thus suppressing the symptoms associated with allergic conjunctivitis.
• Ketorolac tromethamine is a widely administered non steroid anti inflamtory drug.
• Along with anti-inflammatory property it persists analgesics as well as antipyretic properties that play a major role in minimizing the effect of inflammation (itching, redness, pain and swelling).
• It blocks the enzymes responsible for the inflammatory symptoms i.e. Cox-1 & cox-2.
• As analgesic and antipyretic it blocks the activity of prostaglandins produced from peripheral action.
