Introduction to Toradol

Toradol (ketorolac) is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for short-term management of moderate to severe pain, often in postoperative or emergency settings. It is available in oral, intramuscular, and intravenous forms.

Toradol is not an opioid and does not cause dependence, making it a powerful alternative for acute pain relief. Because of its potency, Toradol is usually used for only 5 days or fewer.

Mechanism of Action: Potent Prostaglandin Suppression

Toradol inhibits COX enzymes responsible for prostaglandin production—chemicals that cause inflammation, swelling, and pain.

By dramatically reducing prostaglandin levels, Toradol provides strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory relief. Its intensity and rapid onset make it particularly effective for postoperative pain, renal colic, migraine flares, musculoskeletal injuries, and severe dental pain.

Dosing, Administration, and Limits

Physicians typically administer Toradol by injection for rapid effect, followed by short oral courses if needed.

Total duration must not exceed 5 days due to the risk of gastrointestinal and renal side effects. Toradol should always be taken with food or administered with hydration support to reduce stomach irritation. It is not intended for chronic pain conditions.

Side Effects, Warnings, and Contraindications

Common side effects include stomach upset, dizziness, fluid retention, and headache. More serious risks involve gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney strain, and increased cardiovascular events.

Toradol should not be used by individuals with peptic ulcers, kidney disease, bleeding disorders, or those taking anticoagulants. Combining Toradol with alcohol or other NSAIDs significantly increases risk. Pregnant individuals should avoid Toradol, especially in late pregnancy.

Benefits and Clinical Strengths

Toradol provides opioid-level pain relief without sedation, respiratory depression, or dependency. It is extremely effective for acute injuries, surgical recovery, kidney stone pain, and severe inflammatory flares. Its ability to rapidly control pain allows faster mobilization during recovery.

Supportive Care During Toradol Treatment

Patients should maintain hydration, avoid other NSAIDs, and follow dosing guidelines strictly. Rest, ice, elevation, and physical therapy complement pain control, depending on the condition.
