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,
