FAQs about Acular
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose of Acular, you should take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for a missed dose.
Can I take Acular while pregnant or breastfeeding?
The use of Acular during pregnancy and breastfeeding should be discussed with your healthcare provider. The label indicates that it is not known whether ketorolac passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing infant. Therefore, caution is advised.
How should I store Acular?
Acular should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. Do not freeze the medication, and keep it out of reach of children. Always check the expiration date before use and discard any unused medication after that date.
