What Experts Say

Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drug that blocks COX enzymes, lowering the chemicals that cause pain and swelling. It is one of the strongest NSAIDs for short term pain.

Because of stomach, bleeding and kidney risks, total treatment across injection and tablets should not exceed five days. Doctors use the lowest dose that works, and lower doses in older adults and people with small body weight. Ketorolac is sometimes chosen when opioids are best avoided, for example after minor procedures. Pain relief usually begins within about 30 minutes after an injection and lasts roughly four to six hours.

It is not for long term pain and is not suitable before major surgery or in labor. Injection must be given by a trained provider who can check kidney function and bleeding risk first. Anyone with asthma triggered by aspirin should not receive it. Good hydration before dosing helps protect the kidneys, and the provider decides the right dose for age and weight.
