How Medicine Works

Ktl-Plus Eye Drops is a combination of two medicines: Ofloxacin and Ketorolac which treat eye infections. Ofloxacin is an antibiotic.

Expert Advice

• Your doctor has prescribed Ktl-Plus Eye Drops to cure your eye infection and improve your symptoms.
• Use it twice a day (in the morning and the evening). If your symptoms are particularly severe, your doctor may suggest you use them up to four times a day.
• To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your eye or any other surface. If it does, squeeze out two or three drops straightaway onto some tissue and rinse the tip with saltwater.
