Ketorolac Tromethamine 30mg/mL Injection
SKU GME917Product Introduction
Ketorolac Tromethamine 30mg/mL Injection is an NSAID treatment for short-term moderate to severe acute pain, including pain after surgery. It provides non-opioid pain relief when an injectable treatment is needed, rather than long-term treatment of chronic aches.
How to use
A healthcare professional gives the injection into a muscle or slowly into a vein. Dose selection takes account of age, body weight and kidney function. Any subsequent oral ketorolac counts towards the same treatment course, which must not exceed five days in total.
How it works
Ketorolac inhibits cyclooxygenase enzymes, reducing the prostaglandins involved in pain and inflammation.
Side effects
Nausea, indigestion, abdominal discomfort, dizziness and injection-site pain can occur. Black stools, vomiting blood, reduced urine, chest pain or facial swelling need urgent treatment.
Important information
Tell the treatment team about stomach ulcers, previous bleeding, kidney disease, dehydration, heart disease, aspirin-sensitive asthma or pregnancy. Anticoagulants, antiplatelets and other NSAIDs can increase bleeding or kidney risks.
Uses
- Short-term treatment of moderate to severe acute pain, including postoperative pain.
Benefits
Can reduce pain intensity sufficiently to make movement and rest more comfortable during acute recovery, without adding an opioid ingredient.
Is ketorolac injection a steroid or an opioid?
Neither. It is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicine. Its pain-relieving action is different from that of morphine or corticosteroids.
Does 30mg/mL mean that every patient receives 30mg?
No. It describes the concentration of the solution. The administered amount may be smaller, particularly in older adults, people with low body weight or those with reduced kidney function.
Can ketorolac injection be used for persistent arthritis pain?
It is intended for an acute episode, not ongoing arthritis maintenance. Continuing injections or switching repeatedly between injections and tablets does not make prolonged treatment safer.
Can I take ibuprofen or diclofenac after the injection?
Do not add these painkillers to ketorolac. They act through the same NSAID pathway and can increase stomach bleeding and kidney injury without a proportionate improvement in pain relief.
Why is hydration important during ketorolac treatment?
Dehydration reduces blood flow to the kidneys. Ketorolac can further impair the kidney's protective response, so vomiting, poor fluid intake or fluid loss should be reported before another dose.
