How it works
Alcarex KT Eye Drop is a combination of two medicines. Alcaftadine is an antihistaminic medication. It treats allergy symptoms such as itching, swelling, and redness by blocking the effects of a chemical messenger (histamine) in the body. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). It works by blocking the release of certain chemical messengers that cause pain and inflammation (redness and swelling). This is how Alcarex KT Eye Drop works to treat allergic conjunctivitis.
