Kapiket OF Eye Drop belongs to the class of ocular medications called ‘Ophthalmic agents’ used to treat bacterial eye infections or eye discomfort, especially in patients who have undergone eye surgeries. It used to treat eye infections such as conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) and inflammatory conditions of the other parts of the eye (cornea, iris, and connective tissue).

Kapiket OF Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines: Ofloxacin and Ketorolac. Ofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that interferes with the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth. Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It works by reducing the production of chemical substances that cause pain and inflammation in the eye.

Kapiket OF Eye Drop is available for ophthalmic (for eye) use only. You should use this medicine as prescribed by your doctor. The common side-effects of Kapiket OF Eye Drop are eye pain, redness, burning or stinging sensation and watery eyes. Eye drops may also cause temporary blurred vision. If any of these side-effects persist, consult your doctor immediately.

It is not recommended to take Kapiket OF Eye Drop if you are allergic to any contents of it or other fluoroquinolone antibiotics such as levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin, etc., or any NSAIDs such as ibuprofen, diclofenac or indomethacin, etc. Kapiket OF Eye Drop should be used with caution in patients with diabetes, arthritis, bleeding or blood clotting disorder, glaucoma (increased pressure inside the eye) and dry eye syndrome (condition of having dry eyes).
