What is Toradol
KetorolacThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryKetorolac is a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It comes in different forms, including tablets, injections, nasal spray, and eye drops. It is used to relieve pain in various conditions such as post-surgery pain, arthritis, menstrual disorders, headaches, muscle and joint pain, and ankylosing spondylitis. Ketorolac is very effective and can be used instead of morphine or meperidine to reduce opioid use.

Effectiveness
How Toradol Affects PatientsKetorolac is a type of non-selective NSAID that works by blocking two types of enzymes (COX-1 and COX-2) that are responsible for making prostaglandins in the body. The COX-1 enzyme is active all the time, and can be found in the platelets, stomach lining, and blood vessels. The COX-2 enzyme is triggered when the body is inflamed and causes pain and fever. Blocking the COX-1 enzyme can increase the risk of bleeding and stomach ulcers, while blocking the COX-2 enzyme reduces inflammation and pain. Although ket
How Toradol works in the bodyKetorolac works by blocking the pathways that create inflammatory and pain-causing molecules. It is a non-selective inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, but its main effect is through COX-2 inhibition. This enzyme turns arachidonic acid into molecules that cause inflammation and pain. By blocking the pathway, ketorolac reduces inflammation and pain. The "S" enantiomer of ketorolac is largely responsible for its effects.

Toradol Toxicity & Overdose RiskTaking too much ketorolac can cause abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, headaches, fatigue, vomiting, upper abdominal pain, and bleeding from the digestive tract. In rare cases, patients may experience kidney damage or failure, high blood pressure, hypoventilation, or coma. Pregnant women should avoid the drug after 30 weeks of gestation as it could cause the closure of the fetal ductus arteriosus. Nursing mothers should also be cautious when taking ketorolac as it is excreted in breast milk and could have adverse effects on an infant. Women who are trying to conceive should not take ket

Toradol Reviews: What are patients saying about Toradol?
5Patient Review
12/2/2015 This treatment is a true lifesaver. I have a compressed nerve in my lower back that bulges out of place, and every time I injure it, the swelling presses down on the nerve so badly that I can't walk. This has happened three times now, and each time I've had to go to the emergency room for an injection of this medication. It's literally like a miracle; within minutes after getting the injection, I am able to walk again without any pain.
5Patient Review
8/17/2017 I was in the hospital for an ulcerative colitis flare-up when I suddenly developed a migraine at 2am. The pain was unbearable, and nothing - not even morphine via IV - did anything to touch it. Finally, they gave me a dose of Toradol in my IV, and within 15 minutes the pain subsided significantly. I felt like it saved my life.
5Patient Review
3/19/2020 This treatment was amazing! I had a chronic migraine and was in the middle of one when I got an IM injection. Within 5 minutes, the pain had almost subsided. I wish the medication wasn't so harmful to the stomach, as I would really like to keep it on hand.
5Patient Review
6/28/2018 Toradol has been a godsend following my surgery. I was in so much pain on Tuesday that my surgeon decided to give me a prescription for it. It's really helped me to get ahead of the pain and I'm grateful for that.
5Patient Review
7/29/2020 This medication provided complete relief from the severe pain I was experiencing in my shoulder, arm, and chest.
5Patient Review
6/3/2022 This medicine was a total lifesaver. I'm usually in so much pain that I can't even keep oral medication down, but this worked wonders. Not to mention, it also helped lower my fever.
5Patient Review
8/2/2022 This treatment quickly and effectively removed the pain in my hip as well as reducing swelling. I feel much better now and am confident that I can return to work.
4.7Patient Review
5/18/2021 When I was first admitted to the hospital with kidney stones, they gave me Toradol IV. At first it only slightly knocked the pain down, but after an hour the pain was completely gone. I've never experienced pain like that again and I'm very grateful for this drug!
4.3Patient Review
11/29/2016 I started with a stiff neck that quickly escalated into pain in both shoulders. After a few days of this, I went to Urgent Care. The doctor gave me an injection of Toradol, and I haven't had any serious pain since then--just three days later.
4.3Patient Review
9/11/2016 This injection was a godsend. I had been dealing with a migraine for three days, and it completely took away the pain within 20 minutes.
4.3Patient Review
8/13/2019 Toradol IV is excellent for those with an inflamed pancreas. I normally receive morphine or Dilaudid while hospitalized for flare-ups, but this drug works better and lasts longer. It's definitely worth trying if you're in a lot of pain.
1.7Patient Review
9/7/2022 Had a severe migraine. Toradol did not lower the pain level at all, unfortunately.
1Patient Review
9/10/2022 I've now had this shot twice and have yet to experience any relief from it.
1Patient Review
10/11/2018 The side effects of this treatment are not worth the short-term pain relief. I had breathing problems, my heart was racing, and I felt dizzy and lightheaded to the point of blacking out.
