Ketorolac is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. This medication may be used short-term after surgery or in other painful situations. Ketorolac can help reduce pain and inflammation by reducing the production of chemicals in the body that cause pain and swelling. In Hong Kong, Ketorolac is usually given as an injection, but there are also oral and topical forms.

How to use: Ketorolac is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication that is usually taken by mouth or injected into a muscle. It is recommended to take it with a meal to reduce stomach upset.

Dosing Guidelines: For adults, the recommended starting dose is 10-20 mg every 6 hours. The maximum dose should not exceed 40 mg daily. For children under 16 years of age, the dose should be based on body weight, usually 0.5 mg/kg every 6-8 hours. Dosage adjustments may be based on symptoms and individual circumstances, but should be done under the guidance of a physician.
