Brief Answer:
Not recommended

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,
Unfortunately, nonsteroid painkillers act as inhibitors of prostaglandin secretion. It means that these drugs reduce prostaglandins in stomach which have protective effect. Consequently, it will lead to gastritis and ulcer. Now, even if toradol is taken intravenously or intramuscular, it still has above mentioned actions. Even oral ketorolac absorbs into blood first and then it acts as intravenous form. However, small dosages should not have such side effects especially if you tak antacid medicine. I would recommend other analgesia such as paracetamol or tramadol. Wish you good health. Regards.
