Ketorolac Renewal, 10 mg 20 pcs.

Indications

Pain syndrome of severe and moderate intensity:

Active ingredient

Composition

How to take, the dosage

One time or repeatedly, depending on the severity of the pain syndrome.

A single dose of 10 mg (1 tablet), with repeated dosing it is recommended to take 10 mg up to 4 times a day depending on the severity of the pain.

The maximum daily dose should not exceed 40 mg.

The duration of the course should not exceed 5 days.

In order to reduce the risk of adverse events, the lowest effective dose of ketorolac should be used for the shortest possible course.

Interaction

Concomitant use of ketorolac with acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs, calcium preparations, glucocorticosteroids, ethanol, corticotropin may lead to a significantly increased risk of adverse reactions, including formation of gastrointestinal ulcers and development of gastrointestinal bleeding.

Concomitant use of ketorolac with other NSAIDs (including cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors) may result in fluid retention, decompensation of cardiac function, and increased blood pressure.

The concomitant use of ketorolac with indirect anticoagulants, thrombolytics, antiaggregants, cefoperazone, cefotetan and pentoxifylline increases the risk of bleeding.

Probenecid decreases plasma clearance and volume of distribution of ketorolac, increases its plasma concentration and prolongs its half-life.

The co-administration of ketorolac with sodium valproate causes impairment of platelet aggregation.

The use of ketorolac with other nephrotoxic drugs (including gold drugs) increases the risk of nephrotoxicity. Concomitant use with paracetamol increases the nephrotoxicity of ketorolac. Drugs that block tubular secretion reduce the clearance of ketorolac and increase its plasma concentrations.

The co-administration of ketorolac with methotrexate increases hepato- and nephrotoxicity of methotrexate. Co-administration of ketorolac and methotrexate is possible only when using low doses of the latter. Methotrexate clearance may decrease (plasma concentration of methotrexate should be monitored).

Ketorolac may decrease lithium clearance and increase its plasma concentration, and increase the toxic effects of lithium. Simultaneous use with lithium salts is contraindicated.

Ketorolac reduces the effect of hypotensive and diuretic drugs (reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys).

Ketorolac increases the effect of narcotic analgesics. When combined with opioid analgesics, doses of the latter may be significantly reduced.

Ketorolac increases hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic agents; therefore the doses of these drugs should be recalculated.

Ketorolac increases plasma concentrations of verapamil and nifedipine.

The concomitant use of NSAIDs and mifepristone may decrease the effectiveness of mifepristone. NSAIDs should not be used for 8-12 days after mifepristone.

The concomitant use of NSAIDs and cyclosporine increases the risk of nephrotoxicity.

The concomitant use of NSAIDs and quinolone antibiotics increases the risk of seizures.

The concomitant use of NSAIDs and tacrolimus increases the risk of nephrotoxicity.

The concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine increases the risk of hematological toxicity.

In concomitant use with digoxin, ketorolac does not impair the binding of digoxin to plasma proteins. Therapeutic concentrations of digoxin do not affect the binding of ketorolac to plasma proteins.

Antacids do not affect absorption of ketorolac.

Myelotoxic drugs increase ketorolac hematotoxicity.

Special Instructions

Before using the drug, it is necessary to find out about previous allergies to the drug or other NSAIDs. Because of the risk of allergic reactions, the first dose should be taken under close medical supervision.

Ketorolac inhibits platelet aggregation and increases blood clotting time. The effect on platelet aggregation stops 24-48 hours after taking the drug.

Patients with clotting disorders are prescribed the drug only with continuous monitoring of platelet count, which is especially important in the postoperative period when close monitoring of hemostasis is required.

Hypovolemia increases the risk of nephrotoxic adverse reactions.

If necessary, it can be used in combination with narcotic analgesics.

Do not use with paracetamol for more than 2 days.

The risk of adverse reactions increases with prolonging the course of treatment and increasing the oral dose of ketorolac over 40 mg/day.

Continuous use of ketorolac with probenecid, pentoxifylline, acetylsalicylic acid and other NSAIDs (including cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), lithium salts, anticoagulants (including warfarin and heparin) is contraindicated.

Ketorolac is contraindicated for prophylactic analgesia before and during extensive surgical procedures because of the high risk of bleeding. Ketorolac is not recommended for use as a means for premedication and maintenance anesthesia.

Fluid retention, increased blood pressure, and edema have been reported with ketorolac.

Caution should be exercised when prescribing to patients with heart failure, arterial hypertension.

The concomitant use of ketorolac with other NSAIDs may result in abnormalities such as decompensation of heart failure and increased blood pressure.

According to clinical studies, use of some NSAIDs at high doses may increase the risk of arterial thrombotic complications (e.g., myocardial infarction, stroke). Although no such complications have been reported with ketorolac, there is insufficient data to rule out a risk of these complications.

The use of antacids, misoprostol, and agents that decrease gastric secretion (histamine H2-receptor blockers, proton pump inhibitors) is recommended to reduce the risk of NSAID-induced gastropathy.

In order to reduce the risk of adverse events, the lowest effective dose of ketorolac should be used for the shortest possible course.

During the treatment period, side effects of the central nervous system (drowsiness, dizziness, headache) may develop, which decreases the speed of mental and motor reactions and for this reason it is necessary to refrain from driving vehicles and other potentially dangerous activities requiring high concentration and quick psychomotor reactions.
