shuold the medication be injected into the vain or just into the fatty skin?
Brief Answer:
It depends on the preparation
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
There are ketorolac preparations for (1) intramuscular use, (2) intramuscular or intravenous and (3) tablets for oral use. You should check the package which would clearly state which one is your preparation. The leaflet inside the package should also have detailed instructions regarding drug administration.
If you've got a doctor's prescription for it, then the doctor should also state the route of administration (im=intramuscular, iv=intravenous).
If you still can't figure it out, then would you please upload a picture of the preparation and the drug container?
I hope I've helped!
If you still have questions about it, please let me know.
Kind Regards!
