Ketorol, 30 mg/ml 1 ml 10 pcs

How to take, the dosage

For direct use, put 1-2 drops in each eye and blink several times.

For indirect use, put one or two drops on the inner surface of each contact lens.

Avizor MOISTURE DROPS can be used as needed. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before use.

Interaction

Concomitant use of ketorolac with acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs, calcium preparations, GCS, ethanol, corticotropin may lead to the formation of GI ulcers and development of gastrointestinal bleeding.

The drug should not be used simultaneously with other NSAIDs.

Concomitant administration with paracetamol increases nephrotoxicity, with methotrexate – hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity.

Simultaneous administration of ketorolac and methotrexate is only possible with low doses of the latter (methotrexate plasma concentration must be monitored).

Probenecid decreases plasma clearance and V_d of ketorolac, increases its plasma concentration and increases T_1/2.

Ketorolac can decrease clearance of methotrexate and lithium and increase toxicity of these substances.

Simultaneous administration with indirect anticoagulants, heparin, thrombolytics, antiaggregants, cefoperazone, cefotetan and pentoxifylline increases the risk of bleeding.

Reduces the effect of hypotensive and diuretic drugs (reduces the synthesis of PG in the kidneys).

When combined with narcotic analgesics the doses of the latter may be significantly reduced.

Antacids do not affect the completeness of drug absorption.

Increases hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs (requires dose recalculation).

Concomitant administration with valproic acid causes platelet aggregation disorders.

Increases plasma concentration of verapamil and nifedipine.

When prescribed with other nephrotoxic drugs (including gold drugs) the risk of nephrotoxicity increases. Drugs that block tubular secretion reduce clearance of ketorolac and increase its concentration in blood plasma.

Special Instructions

Ketorol® has two dosage forms (film-coated tablets and solution for intravenous and intramuscular administration). The choice of the method of drug administration depends on the severity of the pain syndrome and the condition of the patient.

Before prescribing the drug it is necessary to find out about the previous allergic reaction to the drug or NSAIDs. Due to the risk of allergic reactions the first dose is administered under the close supervision of a physician.

Hypovolemia increases the risk of nephrotoxic adverse reactions.

If necessary the drug may be administered in combination with narcotic analgesics.

It is not recommended to use the drug as a prophylactic analgesic before and during major surgical interventions due to the high risk of bleeding. The drug should not be used together with NSAIDs (including cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), because when combined with other NSAIDs fluid retention, decompensation of cardiac activity, increased blood pressure may be observed. The effect on platelet aggregation ceases after 24-48 hours.

The drug may alter the properties of platelets.

Patients with blood clotting disorders are prescribed only with continuous monitoring of platelet count, especially important for post-surgical patients who require close monitoring of hemostasis.

The risk of drug complications increases with prolongation of treatment (in patients with chronic pain) and increasing the drug dose more than 90 mg/day.

To decrease the risk of adverse events the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest possible course.

To decrease the risk of NSAID gastropathy misoprostol, omeprazole are prescribed.

During treatment, caution should be exercised when driving motor transport and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities that require increased concentration and rapid psychomotor reactions.

Side effects

The frequency of side effects is classified according to the frequency of the case: often (1-10%), sometimes (0.1-1%), rarely (0.01-0.1%), very rarely (less than 0.01%), including individual reports.

Digestive system disorders: Frequent (especially in elderly patients older than 65 years with a history of gastrointestinal erosive ulcerative lesions) – gastralgia, diarrhea; less frequent – stomatitis, flatulence, constipation, vomiting, feeling of stomach fullness; rarely – nausea, erosive-ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract (including with perforation and/or bleeding – abdominal pain, epigastric spasm or burning, melena, “coffee grounds” type vomiting, nausea, heartburn and others), cholestatic jaundice, hepatitis, hepatomegaly, acute pancreatitis.

Urinary system disorders: rare – acute renal failure, low back pain with or without hematuria and/or azotemia, hemolytic-uremic syndrome (hemolytic anemia, renal failure, thrombocytopenia, purpura), frequent urination, increased or decreased urine volume, nephritis, edema of renal genesis.

Senses: rare – hearing loss, tinnitus, visual impairment (including blurred vision).

Respiratory system: rare – bronchospasm, rhinitis, laryngeal edema (shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing).

Central nervous system: often – headache, dizziness, somnolence; rarely – aseptic meningitis (fever, severe headache, cramps, neck and/or back stiffness), hyperactivity (mood changes, anxiety), hallucinations, depression, psychosis.
