Ketorolac Tromethamine 10mg Dispersible Tablets

Product Introduction

Ketorolac Tromethamine 10mg Dispersible Tablets are an NSAID treatment for short-term moderate to severe acute pain. They are not an opioid and are not intended for minor aches, long-term self-treatment or routine chronic-arthritis maintenance.

How to use

Disperse the tablet in a small quantity of water and drink the mixture immediately, with or after food to reduce stomach upset. Total ketorolac treatment, including any injection course, must not exceed five days. Avoid other NSAIDs and dehydration because bleeding and kidney risks can increase.

How it works

Ketorolac inhibits COX enzymes and reduces prostaglandins that drive pain and inflammation.

Side effects

Possible effects include stomach pain, nausea, indigestion, dizziness, headache, swelling, raised blood pressure, and drowsiness. Serious risks include stomach ulcer or bleeding, kidney injury, severe allergic reaction, bronchospasm, cardiovascular events, and bleeding complications.

Important information

Tell your doctor about ulcers or bleeding, kidney or heart disease, high blood pressure, NSAID-sensitive asthma, dehydration or recent surgery. Mention pregnancy, breastfeeding, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, steroids, SSRI or SNRI antidepressants, ACE inhibitors, ARBs, diuretics, lithium, methotrexate and other NSAIDs. Avoid NSAIDs from 20 weeks of pregnancy unless specifically necessary under obstetric supervision, and avoid them from 30 weeks because of fetal kidney and heart risks.
