About Kemac Eye Drops 5 ml

Kemac Eye Drops 5 ml belongs to ophthalmic eye medications primarily used to treat dryness of the eyes. Kemac Eye Drops 5 ml is also used to treat postoperative pain and inflammation in patients who have undergone corneal refractive surgery or cataract extraction and provide temporary relief from eye itching caused by seasonal allergies. Dry eye is a common condition that occurs when tears are unable to provide sufficient moisture. The symptoms include redness, pain, burning sensation, blurred vision, discomfort in the eye, watery eyes, difficulty reading or sitting in front of the computer for a long time or eyes get tired faster than usual.

Kemac Eye Drops 5 ml is a combination of two drugs: Hypromellose (eye lubricant) and Ketorolac (a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug). Hypromellose belongs to the lubricants class that works by forming a lubricating, transparent and moistening film on the cornea (surface of the eye) and is used as artificial tears. Thereby, it provides a soothing effect and relieves irritation and dryness caused by decreased tear flow. Ketorolac belongs to the class of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (pain relievers) that works by blocking the action of cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzyme in the body involved in the production of certain chemical substances such as prostaglandins that cause pain and swelling. Thereby, helps in relieving pain and swelling after eye surgeries.
