How it works in simple terms

How to take it and dosing limits

• Usual adult oral dose: 10 mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Some plans use a single 20 mg first dose, then 10 mg at later doses.
• Do not exceed 40 mg in a day.
• Total duration across all forms of ketorolac, including injections and tablets, should not exceed 5 days.
• Swallow with water. Taking with food or milk can ease stomach upset.
• Older adults or people under 50 kg often need lower total daily doses. Follow your prescriber’s exact plan.

Who should avoid Kelac 10 Mg or check first

• Past stomach ulcer, GI bleeding, or inflammatory bowel disease
• Kidney problems, dehydration, or heart failure
• History of heart attack or stroke, or if you are having heart bypass surgery
• Bleeding disorders or if you take blood thinners or regular aspirin
• Pregnancy, especially after 20 weeks, and while breastfeeding unless your clinician says it is essential
• Allergy to ketorolac, aspirin, or other NSAIDs

Common side effects

• Stomach upset, heartburn, nausea
• Dizziness, drowsiness, headache
• Swelling in legs, increased blood pressure, or fluid retention
• Mild bruising due to platelet effects Call a clinician urgently for severe stomach pain, black stools, vomiting blood, chest pain, shortness of breath, sudden weakness, or little to no urine.

Important interactions

• Do not combine with other NSAIDs or daily aspirin used for pain.
• Anticoagulants or antiplatelets, SSRIs or SNRIs, and oral steroids increase bleeding risk.
• ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and diuretics together with ketorolac can stress the kidneys.
• Lithium and methotrexate levels can rise.
• Probenecid and pentoxifylline are generally avoided with ketorolac.
• Alcohol raises stomach bleeding risk. If you drink, keep it very light.

Practical tips for safer use

• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time.
• Take with food and a full glass of water. Avoid lying down right after a dose.
• Do not take two pain relievers from the NSAID family at the same time. Acetaminophen can be paired cautiously if your clinician agrees.
• If pain remains high after a few doses, reach out. You may need a different plan rather than pushing the dose or days.

Available strengths and forms in the market
