Toradol Drug Center
Medical Editor: Charles Patrick Davis, MD, PhD
Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat moderately severe pain and inflammation, usually after surgery. Toradol is available as a generic drug called ketorolac. Toradol works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, compounds that cause pain, fever, and inflammation. Some common side effects of Toradol include headache, heartburn, dizziness, and constipation.
Toradol is available as a 10 mg tablet and a solution (30 mg per ml) for intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) administration. Toradol solution is administered as a single 15- to 60-mg dose once every 6 hours not to exceed 60 or 120 mg a day. The recommended oral dose is one to two Toradol tablets initially followed by one tablet every 4-6 hours, not to exceed 40 mg daily. Toradol should not be used for more than 5 days. Drug interactions may occur with lithium, ACE inhibitors, warfarin, and medications used to treat high uric acid levels. Warnings may apply to individuals who have ulcers, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and bleeding disorders. People who are taking aspirin or NSAIDs should not take Toradol because of the cumulative risk of inducing serious NSAID-related side effects. Toradol is generally avoided during pregnancy. Pregnant women may take Toradol only if it is clearly needed and the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nursing mothers should not take Toradol, because it is excreted in breast milk. Toradol solution may be used as a single dose in children in certain instances, but safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population is not established.
