Ketorol DT

Product Overview

Ketorol DT is a fast-acting pain relief medication containing Ketorolac as its active ingredient. As a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), it effectively reduces pain and inflammation. The orally disintegrating tablet (DT) formulation allows for convenient administration without water, with rapid absorption into the bloodstream for quick pain relief. Healthcare providers frequently prescribe Ketorol DT for managing musculoskeletal pain, dental procedures, and postoperative discomfort.

Uses

This medication is designed for short-term treatment of moderate to severe acute pain. Ketorol DT is particularly effective for:

• Post-surgical pain management
• Dental procedure discomfort
• Musculoskeletal injuries
• Migraine headaches

By blocking prostaglandin production – the body’s natural chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation – Ketorol DT provides significant relief.

How to Use

For optimal results:

1. Place tablet on tongue (do not chew or swallow whole)
2. Allow complete disintegration (typically within seconds)
3. Swallow dissolved medication (water optional)

Always follow your healthcare provider’s specific dosage instructions for safe and effective pain management.

• Decreased inflammatory response
• Effective pain relief

This pharmacological action provides both analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.
