How it works
How it works
Toradol (ketorolac) is a powerful nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). When injected intramuscularly or intravenously, it blocks the body’s prostaglandin production, reducing inflammation and pain signaling. It provides rapid relief from moderate-to-severe pain without the risks associated with narcotics, but is typically used short-term.
