KetoROL Injection

KetoROL Injection contains Ketorolac (30mg), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to manage moderate to severe pain. It provides effective relief from pain and inflammation after surgeries, dental procedures, or injuries. KetoROL works quickly to reduce pain intensity and improve patient comfort. It is commonly prescribed in hospitals and clinics for short-term pain management when oral medications are not suitable. KetoROL Injection offers fast action and is administered under medical supervision for controlled relief.

Uses of KetoROL Injection

• Postoperative Pain: KetoROL Injection is widely used for relieving moderate to severe pain after surgeries such as abdominal, orthopedic, or gynecological procedures. It helps reduce inflammation and discomfort, allowing faster recovery.

How KetoROL Injection Works

KetoROL Injection contains Ketorolac, which blocks the production of prostaglandins—chemicals responsible for pain and inflammation. By inhibiting the COX (cyclooxygenase) enzyme, it reduces pain, swelling, and fever, providing rapid relief.
