Frequently asked questions

Is Ketorolac Tromethamine (Acular) expensive if I don't have insurance?

Our most recent US pharmacy data shows a low of roughly $14.76 for Ketorolac Tromethamine with a standard discount card. That figure moves with dosage and quantity — check the comparison table for the exact combination you need.

Is Ketorolac Tromethamine (Acular) available through Cost Plus Drugs?

Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Ketorolac Tromethamine at roughly $0.050 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.

What do Canadian pharmacies charge for Ketorolac Tromethamine (Acular)?

We found Canadian pricing for Ketorolac Tromethamine starting near $0.210 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.

Why is Ketorolac Tromethamine (Acular) priced differently in the US and Canada?

Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

Is Acular typically covered by Medicare plans?

Acular, the brand-name product, is generally not covered by Medicare Part D or Medicare Advantage prescription drug plans. These plans typically cover the generic version, ketorolac eye drops. Regardless of Medicare coverage status, patients may find lower out-of-pocket costs by using prescription discount programs or manufacturer coupons.

Is a generic version of Acular available?

Yes. Acular is the brand-name product from Allergan. The generic alternative, ketorolac ophthalmic solution, is manufactured by several companies, including Micro Labs, Akorn, and Sandoz.

What is Acular used for?

Acular is a prescription eye drop designed to relieve eye discomfort caused by seasonal allergies. The typical dosage is one drop applied to the surface of each eye, four times daily during allergy season. Its active ingredient, ketorolac, is an NSAID that works by inhibiting prostaglandins—substances in the body that cause inflammation and discomfort during an allergic reaction.
