Do Ketorolac And Prednisolone Eye Drops Cause Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?
I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. I was given ketorolac and prednisolone eye drops as well as an antibiotic eye drop. Can any of these drops cause high blood pressure? My blood pressure is always around 120/80 or 120/90. It s around 140/108 today after three weeks of eye drops.

Hi thank you for querry.
as side effect of keterolac and prednisolone eye drop is concerned they donot cause hyertension in patients.
one high reading of blood pressure is not suggestive for hypertension you must check your blood pressure 3-4 times on diffrent ocassion for prompt diagnosis
if it is on higher sidemore than 140/90 mmgh
than consult your doctor for speicific antihypertensive therapy diet or life style modification.
hope the answer help you.
