Uses

Qmol KT is commonly prescribed to relieve pain caused by conditions such as postoperative pain, renal colic, and musculoskeletal injuries. It can be used as a short-term treatment option for pain relief.

Dosage and Administration

Qmol KT is administered by a healthcare professional, usually as an intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) injection. The dosage and frequency of administration will depend on the severity of the pain and the individual patient’s needs.

Mechanism of Action

Ketorolac, the active ingredient in Qmol KT, belongs to a class of medications called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). It works by inhibiting the production of certain chemicals in the body that cause pain, inflammation, and fever. By reducing the levels of these chemicals, Qmol KT helps to alleviate pain.

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, and gastrointestinal disturbances. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider.

In rare cases, Qmol KT may cause more serious side effects such as allergic reactions, stomach ulcers, kidney problems, or bleeding disorders. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing, chest pain, black or bloody stools, or changes in urination.

Drug Interactions

inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and herbal supplements. Certain medications may interact with Qmol KT, potentially increasing the risk of side effects or reducing its effectiveness.

Some common drug interactions include the use of other NSAIDs, anticoagulants (blood thinners), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and certain diuretics. Your healthcare provider will carefully consider these interactions when prescribing Qmol KT.

Before using Qmol KT, inform your healthcare provider about any known allergies, medical conditions, or medications you are currently taking. This medication may not be suitable for individuals with a history of asthma, bleeding disorders, gastrointestinal ulcers, or kidney problems.
