Ketorolac Tromethamine is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) commonly used for short-term management of moderate to severe pain. It works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins that cause inflammation, pain, and fever. Available in oral, injectable, nasal, and ophthalmic forms, ketorolac is often used post-surgery, for musculoskeletal pain, and to reduce eye inflammation. Due to potential side effects like gastrointestinal irritation and kidney toxicity, its use is generally limited to short durations under medical supervision.
Ketorolac Tromethamine works by non-selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX-1 and COX-2, which are crucial for the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are substances in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking their production, ketorolac reduces inflammation and provides effective pain relief. This mechanism makes it especially useful for short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain, particularly after surgery.
