Uses
Ketorol is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for short-term management of pain or inflammation post-surgery. It is similar to ibuprofen or naproxen in function only more effective. It works by decreasing the immune system's production of prostaglandins, which are thought to cause pain redness, fever, and inflammation.
Dosage and administration
Correct dosage will vary depending on the patient and the severity of the pain or inflammation. Always take as instructed by your physician.
The common dosage is from 10mg to 40mg, taken for no more than 5 days. Elderly patients, or patients with poor kidney function will require smaller doses.
Your progress should be closely monitored while taking this medication.
