C. to 25+/-2.degree. C.

2. A liquid pharmaceutical formulation comprising phenylephrine, ketorolac and a buffer system in an aqueous carrier, wherein the formulation is stable without the inclusion of preservatives and antioxidants for at least six months when stored at a temperature of from 5+/-3.degree. C. to 25+/-2.degree. C.

3. The pharmaceutical formulation of claim 2, wherein the pharmaceutical formulation has a pH of from 5.8 to 6.8.
