Important information about Toradol
How does Toradol work?
The active ingredient in Toradol is ketorolac. Toradol works by blocking certain substances (such as proteins and hormones) in the body that cause moderately severe pain, inflammation, fever, and swelling. More specifically, it blocks cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 (COX1 and COX2), which leads to a decreased production of prostaglandins to help relieve pain.
How do you use Toradol?
Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide before using Toradol.
