What it is used for

Ketorolac is used for the short-term relief of moderate to severe pain, most often after surgery or an injury. It is not meant for mild pain or for long-term conditions such as arthritis. The injection is usually given in hospital, and tablets are sometimes used to continue treatment for a short time afterwards.

How it works

Ketorolac strongly blocks the COX enzymes that make prostaglandins, the chemicals that cause pain and inflammation. It is a strong painkiller but not an opioid, so it does not cause dependence.

Important safety information

Common side effects

Common side effects include stomach pain, indigestion, nausea, headache, dizziness and drowsiness. Because it is strong, the risk of stomach bleeding and kidney problems is higher than with milder painkillers, which is why it is only used for a few days.

Talk to a doctor or pharmacist first

  • People with kidney disease, or who are dehydrated after vomiting, diarrhoea or blood loss
  • People with a stomach ulcer, bleeding from the gut, or a bleeding disorder
  • People with heart disease, a past stroke or high blood pressure
  • People with asthma or nasal polyps that react to aspirin or other anti-inflammatory painkillers
  • Pregnant women, women in labour, and breastfeeding women
  • Older adults, and anyone taking blood thinners, other painkillers, steroids or water tablets

Warnings

  • Use it only for the short time your doctor advises; longer use sharply raises the risk of serious stomach bleeding and kidney damage.
  • Never take it together with aspirin or any other anti-inflammatory painkiller.
  • Get urgent help for black or bloody stools, vomiting blood, passing very little urine, or swelling of the face or throat.
  • It is not suitable if dengue is suspected, as it can make bleeding more likely.

Questions people ask

Why can ketorolac only be used for a short time?

Ketorolac is one of the strongest anti-inflammatory painkillers. The risk of serious side effects, such as stomach bleeding and kidney damage, rises quickly the longer it is used, so it is limited to short courses under a doctor's advice.

Is ketorolac stronger than paracetamol?

For moderate to severe pain, ketorolac usually gives stronger relief than paracetamol, but it also carries more risks. Paracetamol is often preferred for mild pain or fever, and your doctor may combine or switch medicines depending on your pain.

Is ketorolac an opioid?

No. Ketorolac is an anti-inflammatory painkiller (NSAID), not an opioid, so it does not cause dependence. It has its own risks, mainly to the stomach and kidneys and through bleeding.
