Description
Ketorolac DT 10 mg
Ketorolac DT 10 mg is a fast-acting, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to relieve moderate to severe pain. This tablet works by blocking the production of prostaglandins, which are chemicals responsible for pain, inflammation, and fever.
Commonly prescribed after surgeries, dental procedures, or injuries, Ketorolac DT 10 mg provides rapid relief by dissolving quickly in the mouth. It is not meant for long-term use and should be taken only as directed by a doctor. Ideal for short-term pain management, this medicine ensures quick absorption and action.
Uses
Ketorolac DT 10 mg is used for short-term relief of moderate to severe pain, especially after surgery or injury.
How to use Ketorolac DT 10 mg?
To use Ketorolac DT 10 mg, place the tablet on your tongue and let it dissolve without chewing. It can be taken with or without food, but taking it after meals may reduce stomach upset. Follow your doctor's dosage instructions carefully and avoid using it for more than 5 days. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol or other NSAIDs while using this medicine. Do not exceed the prescribed dose.
How does it work?
Ketorolac DT 10 mg works by blocking the action of an enzyme called cyclooxygenase (COX), which is responsible for producing prostaglandins—chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling in the body.
By reducing prostaglandin levels, the medicine helps to relieve pain and inflammation effectively. Its fast-dissolving formula ensures quick absorption, making it suitable for rapid pain relief in post-surgical and injury-related conditions.
