Ketorolac (administered as the tromethamine salt Toradol, Ultram) has been used as a short-term alternative (less than 5 days) to opioids for the treatment of moderate to severe pain and is administered intramnscnlarly, intravenously, or orally. Unlike opioids, tolerance, withdrawal, and respiratory depression do not occur. Like other NSAIDs, aspirin sensitivity is a contraindication to the nse of ketorolac. Typical doses are 30 to 60 mg (intramnscnlar), 15 to 30 mg (intravenous), and 5 to 30 mg (oral). Ketorolac is used widely in postoperative patients, but it should not be used for routine obstetric analgesia. Topical (ophthalmic) ketorolac is FDA approved for the treatment of seasonal allergic conjunctivitis and postoperative ocular inflammation after cataract extraction.
