Ketorolac NSAIDs

However, it is important to note that the addition of nephrotoxic agents, such as amphotericin B, aminoglysides (e.g., gentamicin, tobramidn, or amikacin), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs e.g., naproxen, ibuprofen, or ketorolac) may potentiate the nephrotoxic effects of the calcineurin inhibitors. 

Topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decrease pain from corneal abrasion. Available ocular NSAIDs are diclofenac 0.1%, ketorolac 0.5%, nepafenac... 

If mast cell stabilizers or multiple-action agents are not successful, a trial of a topical NSAID is appropriate. Ketorolac is the only approved topical agent for ocular itching. NSAIDs do not mask ocular infections, affect wound healing, increase intraocular pressure, or contribute to cataract formation like the topical corticosteroids. However, for allergic conjunctivitis, topical ketorolac is not as effective as olopatadine or emedas-tine in trials.15 Full efficacy of ketorolac takes up to 2 weeks.17... 

In general, NSAIDs with a long half-life are preferred as less frequent dosing is needed. Rectal suppositories and intramuscular (IM) ketorolac are options for patients with severe nausea and vomiting. 

A)-Ketorolac 132, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory dmg (NSAID), was synthesized in a two-step procedure based on an intramolecular oxidative coupling of pyrrole at the C-2 position with a chiral sultam enolate 130 leading to dihydropyrrolizine 131 as a 4.5 1 mixture of epimers (Scheme 23). Subsequent benzoylation, performed on the crude... 

Concomitant use with NSAiDs - Ketorolac is contraindicated in patients currently receiving aspirin or other NSAIDs ketorolac also is contraindicated with the concomitant use of probenecid. 

Eideriy Age appears to increase the possibility of adverse reactions to NSAIDs. The risk of serious ulcer disease is increased this risk appears to increase with dose. Ketorolac is cleared more slowly by the elderly use caution and reduce dosage. Pregnancy Category B (ketoprofen, naproxen, naproxen sodium, flurbiprofen, diclofenac, fenoprofen, ibuprofen, indomethacin, meclofenamate, sulindac). 

Category C (etodolac, ketorolac, mefenamic acid, meloxicam, nabumetone, oxaprozin, tolmetin, piroxicam, celecoxib). All NSAIDs are Category D if used in the third trimester or near delivery. Avoid during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. 

Apart from the salicylates NSAIDs include several classes of weak acids like propionic acid derivatives such as ibuprofen, carprofen, fenbufen, fenoprofen, flurbiprofen, ketorolac, loxoprofen, naproxen, oxaprozin, tiaprofenic acid and suprofen. Phenylbutazone is the most important representative of the pyrazolon derivatives which have a bad reputation for their risk of potentially fatal bone-marrow toxicity. To the acetic acid derivatives belong in-domethacin, diclofenac and sulindac. Sulindac is a pro-drug with less toxicity than indomethacin. The enolic acids include piroxicam, droxicam and tenoxicam. Meloxicam is an analog of piroxicam and has a high selectivity for COX-2. 

Ketorolac (Toradol), an NSAID chemically related to indomethacin and tolmetin, is mainly used as an analgesic, not for the treatment of inflammatory disease. It is available in oral, parenteral, and topical formulations. 

Ketorolac is a NSAID chemically related to indomethacin and tolmetin. 

Four-arm hydrogel hydrogen containing nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) compositions were prepared by Burton et al. (2) and used to deliver Ketorolac , (I). 

Thus, NSAIDs tend to be differentiated on the basis of toxicity and cost-effectiveness. For example, the gastrointestinal and renal side effects of ketorolac limit its use. Some surveys suggest that indomethacin or tolmetin are the NSAIDs associated with the greatest toxicity, while salsalate, aspirin, and ibuprofen are least toxic. The selective COX-2 inhibitors were not included in these analyses. 

Ketorolac is an NSAID promoted for systemic use mainly as an analgesic, not as an antiinflammatory drug (though it has typical NSAID properties). Pharmacokinetics are presented in Table 36-1. The drug does appear to have significant analgesic efficacy and has been used... 

Evaluation of the scavenging activity for H2O2 by NSAIDs, namely indole derivatives (indomethacin, acemetacin, etodolac), pyrrole derivatives (tol-metin, ketorolac), oxazole derivative (oxaprozin), indene derivative (sulin-dac) and its metabolites (sulindac sulfide and sulindac sulfone) was performed by Costa et al. [ 103]. The obtained results against endogenous antioxidants melatonin and GSH demonstrated that all the studied NSAIDs display... 

Ketorolac Interactions are similar to those of NSAIDs. Ketorolac is contraindicated in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy. Ketorolac should not be administered with probenecid or other NSAIDs. 

Ketorolac This drug acts like the other NSAIDs. In addition to the oral route, ketorolac [key TOE row lak] can be administered intramuscularly in the treatment of postoperative pain, and topically for allergic conjunctivitis. Ketorolac undergoes hepatic metabolism the drug and its metabolites are eliminated via the urine. It causes the same side effects as the other NSAIDs. 

In a pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers ketorolac increased the concentration of lithium in both serum and erythrocytes, which may reflect concentration of the drug in the nervous system more accurately. Ketorolac can therefore increase the risk of adverse reactions of lithium (683), as do many other NSAIDs.

Ketorolac causes hyperkalaemia, and ACE inhibitors can 1 renal function 1. Monitor renal function and BP closely. Benefits often outweigh risks for short-term NSAID use 2.
