General & Family Physician, Dr. Ashakiran S's Response

Hi,

Toradol is composed of 'Ketorolac', which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It is used as an analgesic. Ketorolac acts by inhibiting the bodily synthesis of prostaglandins.

It is used for the short-term treatment (5 to 7 days) of acute pain. It might not be a suitable medication that can be taken regularly.

Hence, kindly consult your doctor for proper advice before intake of such medications on your own.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ashakiran S, General & Family Physician
