Toradol (ketorolac) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID). It works by lowering hormones in the body that cause inflammation and pain. Toradol is used to treat moderate to severe pain for a short period of time (5 days or less).
In adults, Toradol is used to treat moderate to severe pain in the short term. It is typically used before or after medical procedures or surgery. Reducing pain allows you to recover more comfortably and return to your normal daily activities. This NSAID works by inhibiting the production of inflammation-causing natural substances in your body, helping reduce swelling, pain, and fever. It should not be used to treat minor or chronic pain (such as arthritis).
