Frequently Asked Questions about Ketorolac
What is Ketorolac used for?
Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve moderate to severe pain, typically after surgery. It is not prescribed for minor or long-term pain and is usually only used for short durations (typically 5 days or less).
How does Ketorolac work?
Ketorolac works by reducing the production of prostaglandins, chemicals in the body that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. By inhibiting prostaglandins, it helps to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.
What are the common side effects of Ketorolac?
Common side effects include:
- Stomach pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Dizziness or drowsiness
- Headache
- Indigestion
Serious side effects can include stomach ulcers, bleeding, kidney issues, and increased blood pressure. Always notify a healthcare provider if any severe or unusual symptoms occur.
Who should avoid using Ketorolac?
Ketorolac should generally be avoided by people with:
- A history of stomach ulcers, bleeding, or gastrointestinal issues
- Kidney disease or reduced kidney function
- Certain bleeding disorders
- Recent or upcoming surgery, especially coronary artery bypass graft (CABG)
- Allergies to NSAIDs or aspirin
Pregnant women in their third trimester should not use Ketorolac due to potential harm to the fetus.
Can I take Ketorolac with other medications?
Ketorolac should not be combined with other NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen or aspirin) or blood-thinning medications without medical advice, as it may increase the risk of bleeding. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and supplements you are taking.
How is Ketorolac typically administered?
Ketorolac is available in several forms: oral tablets, intramuscular or intravenous injections, and sometimes as an eye drop. The method and dosage depend on medical advice, often beginning with an injection in a hospital setting, followed by oral doses for a few days.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If prescribed on a regular schedule, take the missed dose as soon as you remember, but if it’s close to the time for your next dose, skip it. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.
What are the risks of using Ketorolac long-term?
Long-term use of Ketorolac is associated with serious side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, kidney damage, and cardiovascular issues. Because of these risks, Ketorolac is usually prescribed for short-term use only (up to 5 days).
Can I drink alcohol while taking Ketorolac?
It is advised to avoid alcohol while taking Ketorolac, as alcohol can increase the risk of stomach bleeding and gastrointestinal side effects associated with NSAIDs.
