What Is Ketorolac Used For?

Ketorolac, marketed under the names Acular and Toradol, is a medication used for providing short-term relief of itching due to conjunctivitis caused by seasonal allergies and in managing people with certain types of pain syndromes. Ketorolac, like celecoxib (Celebrex), diclofenac, etodolac, ibuprofen, meloxicam, naproxen (Naprosyn), nabumetone (Relafen), and oxaprozin (Daypro), belongs to a class of medications known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. Ketorolac is thought to work by decreasing inflammation through interference with enzymes known as cyclooxygenases. Through blocking these enzymes, ketorolac impairs the production of chemicals called prostaglandins which are thought to potentiate the pain and inflammatory responses in the body and increase vascular permeability.

Ketorolac - Dosage and Price

Following oral absorption, ketorolac prescription medication is well absorbed and most of the drug in the plasma can be found bound to proteins. Ketorolac medication exhibits an elimination half life of under twelve hours in healthy people and most of the drug in the body is excreted via the urine. For ketorolac eye drops, the starting dosage of ketorolac is one drop (0.25 mg) four times per day. For ketorolac tablets, many providers will use ketorolac 10 mg every six hours as needed. Ultimately, the ketorolac dosing regimen and form utilized depends on the health characteristics of the patient and the judgement of the prescribing medical provider. Generic ketorolac is moderately expensive, costing under $1 per ketorolac 10 mg tablet and under $17 per bottle of ketorolac eye drops 0.5% (5 mL). It is important to note that some insurance plans may help pay for ketorolac medication and that ketorolac coupons can sometimes be found through the manufacturer or online.
