What Experts Say

Ketorolac belongs to the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory class of medicines and works by blocking enzymes called cyclooxygenase, which reduces the production of pain causing chemicals in the body. This makes it effective for short term relief of moderate to severe pain, often used when other pain relievers are not strong enough.

Medical guidelines limit ketorolac injection use to five days or less because of its higher risk of stomach bleeding, kidney strain and heart related problems with longer use. Experts recommend the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible time, especially in older adults or those with existing kidney or heart conditions.

This medicine should not be combined with other anti-inflammatory drugs or aspirin, since this raises the risk of bleeding and stomach ulcers. Patients are usually switched to a gentler oral pain reliever once the acute pain phase has passed.

Drug Interactions

• Lithium: Ketorolac can raise lithium levels in the blood to potentially toxic amounts.
• Methotrexate: This medicine can increase methotrexate levels, raising the risk of toxicity.

Risks and warnings

• Bleeding Risk: Ketorolac can increase the risk of stomach and intestinal bleeding, especially with prolonged use.
• Kidney Function: This medicine can reduce blood flow to the kidneys, which is risky for patients with existing kidney disease.
• Heart Risk: Long term or high dose use has been linked to a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
