Ketorolac

Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain. It works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. This medication is available in both oral and injectable forms and is typically used for acute pain management in patients recovering from surgery, trauma, or other painful conditions. It is not intended for long-term use due to potential side effects and risks. Ketorolac should be used with caution in patients with a history of heart disease, high blood pressure, or gastrointestinal issues, as it may exacerbate these conditions. As with all medications, follow the prescribed dosage and duration to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
