Ketorolac is a powerful NSAID used for short-term pain relief, offering a non-opioid alternative to treat moderate to severe pain. When administered via IV infusion, it provides rapid pain relief, particularly for musculoskeletal pain or post-surgery discomfort. It works similarly to morphine but with fewer side effects like drowsiness and nausea. Ketorolac should only be used for up to five consecutive days to minimize risks. Ideal for patients seeking fast, effective pain management without opioids.
