ketorolac tromethamineketorolac tromethaminePharmacologic class: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) Therapeutic class: Analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory Pregnancy risk category C (first and second trimesters), D (third trimester) FDA Box Warning• Drug is indicated for short-term management (up to 5 days in adults) of moderately severe acute pain that requires opioid-level analgesia. It's not indicated for minor or chronic painful conditions. Drug carries many risks; NSAID-related adverse events can be serious in certain patients, especially when used inappropriately. Raising dosage beyond recommendations increases risk of serious adverse events and won't provide better efficacy. • Drug can cause peptic ulcers, GI bleeding, and perforation and is contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, recent GI bleeding or perforation, or history of peptic ulcer disease or GI bleeding. • Drug is contraindicated in advanced renal impairment and patients at risk for renal failure. • Drug inhibits platelet function and is contraindicated in patients with suspected or confirmed cerebrovascular bleeding, hemorrhagic diathesis, incomplete hemostasis, or high risk of bleeding. • Drug is contraindicated as prophylactic analgesic before major surgery, and intraoperatively when hemostasis is critical. • Hypersensitivity reactions ranging from bronchospasm to anaphylactic shock have occurred. Ensure that appropriate counteractive measures are available when giving first dose of injection form. Drug is contraindicated in known hypersensitivity to ketorolac or allergic reaction to aspirin or other NSAID. • Drug is contraindicated for intrathecal or epidural administration (due to alcohol content), during labor and delivery (may impede fetal circulation and inhibit uterine contractions), in breastfeeding women (due to potential adverse effects of prostaglandin-inhibiting drugs on neonates), and in patients currently receiving aspirin or NSAIDs (due to cumulative risk of serious NSAID-related adverse effects). • Tablet form is indicated only as continuation therapy to injection form, and combined duration of use of both forms mustn't exceed 5 days. • For tablets, recommended total daily dose (maximum 40 mg) is significantly lower than for injection (maximum 120 mg). • Adjust dosage in patients age 65 and older, those weighing less than 50 kg (110 lb), and those with moderately elevated serum creatinine level. With injection form, don't exceed 60 mg (total daily dose) in these patients. Injection form is indicated as single-dose therapy in pediatric patients, not to exceed 30 mg for I.M. use or 15 mg for I.V. use.
