Ketorolac
Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the short-term management of moderate to severe acute pain. Available in tablet form, Ketorolac works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. It is particularly effective for postoperative pain management and is often prescribed when quick pain relief is necessary. The medication should be taken as directed, typically for no more than five days, to avoid potential risks associated with longer-term use. Ketorolac is an excellent option for those in need of potent pain relief without the use of opioids.Active substance:
