Abstract
This multicenter, double-masked, randomized, parallel-group study compared the efficacy and safety of ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution with levocabastine 0.05% and ketorolac tromethamine vehicle in patients with seasonal allergic conjunctivitis. One drop of ketorolac, levocabastine, or vehicle was instilled in each eye four times daily for 6 weeks. In the majority of efficacy variables, ketorolac produced the greatest improvements, followed by levocabastine and vehicle. Ketorolac was significantly more effective (P < .05) than vehicle in reducing mean itching scores, palpebral hyperemia, bulbar hyperemia, and edema. Patients treated with ketorolac reported significant improvements (P < .05) in their ability to sleep and to concentrate on work, compared with those who received vehicle. No significant differences were noted among the treatment groups in safety or tolerability. Ketorolac tromethamine 0.5% ophthalmic solution instilled four times daily is effective and safe in reducing the signs and symptoms of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis.
