Allergan, Inc. (NYSE:AGN) today announced the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved ACULAR LS(TM) (ketorolac tromethamine ophthalmic solution) 0.4% for the reduction of ocular pain and burning/stinging following corneal refractive surgery.

ACULAR LS(TM) is a new, optimized formulation of ketorolac tromethamine and joins this family of products used for a range of other conditions including post-surgical inflammation, pain, photophobia and ocular itch associated with seasonal allergies.

In clinical studies, ACULAR LS(TM) significantly reduced pain, burning and stinging following corneal refractive surgery.
