Question: 1 / 400

Which medication is not used for treating eye conditions caused by allergies?

Cromolyn

Pemirolast

Ketorolac

Ketorolac is primarily classified as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and is typically used for managing pain and inflammation, particularly in ocular and post-surgical settings. While it can be effective for alleviating symptoms associated with inflammation in the eye, it is not specifically indicated for treating allergic reactions or conditions directly caused by allergies. The other medications listed—Cromolyn, Pemirolast, and Nedocromil—are specifically formulated to prevent and treat allergic reactions by stabilizing mast cells or acting as antihistamines, making them suitable for managing allergy-related eye conditions. Therefore, Ketorolac is the appropriate choice as the medication not used primarily for treating eye allergies, focusing instead on pain relief and inflammation control.
