Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to the treatment of pain. It is recommended for moderate to severe pain. Ketorolac helps to prevent blood clots, decrease fever, and in higher doses, decrease inflammation. However, there are some side effects, which depend on the specific drug but largely include the risk of kidney disease, heart attack, and gastrointestinal ulcers and bleeds. Thus, before beginning a regimen of ketorolac or any other anti-inflammatory prescription medication, one should discuss the risks with the doctor.
Moreover, one should not take ketorolac with other drugs such as probenecid, pentoxifylline, aspirin, or another anti-inflammatory. Ketorolac can also result in stomach or intestinal upset, which is potentially fatal if it occurs without warning. One should also not use ketorolac when they are on other forms of treatment, such as severe kidney disease. For instance, if someone has been diagnosed with acute hepatitis C, avoid taking ketorolac along with an anti-fungal medication such as ciprofloxacin or penicillin. Thus, it is important to consult a doctor before starting a regimen of NSAIDs such as ketorolac.
