Injection<\/strong> is an ampoule of <strong>ketorolac tromethamine 30&nbsp;mg\/ml<\/strong>, manufactured by Cipla. Ketorolac injection is used in acute-care settings where strong, fast, non-opioid pain control is needed &mdash; emergency rooms for renal colic and major trauma, post-operative recovery areas, day-case surgery units, and peri-operative pain protocols that aim to reduce opioid requirement.<\/p>\n<p>Ketorolac&#8217;s parenteral analgesic potency is comparable to low-dose morphine: 30&nbsp;mg IM ketorolac is broadly equivalent to 6&ndash;12&nbsp;mg IM morphine for moderate post-operative pain, without the sedation, respiratory depression, or abuse potential.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Ketanov Injection Used For?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Post-operative pain<\/strong> &mdash; particularly in day-case surgery and orthopaedic procedures; often combined with paracetamol for an &ldquo;opioid-sparing&rdquo; regimen<\/li>\n<li><strong>Renal colic<\/strong> &mdash; kidney-stone pain; parenteral ketorolac is a first-line agent in many ED protocols<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biliary colic<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Acute musculoskeletal trauma<\/strong> &mdash; fractures before definitive treatment, severe soft-tissue injury<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe acute migraine<\/strong> &mdash; when oral therapy fails or vomiting precludes oral dosing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Severe dysmenorrhoea<\/strong> &mdash; when oral NSAID is not tolerated<\/li>\n<li><strong>Acute-on-chronic cancer pain<\/strong> &mdash; short-term adjunct to opioid therapy under specialist supervision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Ketorolac Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Ketorolac is a <strong>non-selective NSAID<\/strong> &mdash; it blocks both <strong>COX-1<\/strong> (which maintains stomach lining, platelet function, and kidney perfusion) and <strong>COX-2<\/strong> (which is upregulated at sites of inflammation). This broad action explains both its strong anti-inflammatory effect and its well-known gastrointestinal and renal side-effect profile.<\/p>\n<p>The therapeutic chain of events is the same for every NSAID:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Tissue injury or inflammation releases phospholipids from cell membranes<\/li>\n<li>Phospholipase A&#8322; converts them to arachidonic acid<\/li>\n<li>Cyclooxygenase (COX-1\/COX-2) converts arachidonic acid to <strong>prostaglandins<\/strong> &mdash; the molecules responsible for pain, swelling, and fever<\/li>\n<li>Ketorolac blocks the COX enzymes, so less prostaglandin is produced, so there is less pain and inflammation<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Because prostaglandins also protect the stomach lining, regulate kidney blood flow, and influence platelet function, the same mechanism that relieves pain is also responsible for the main NSAID side effects: stomach irritation, fluid retention, high blood pressure, and (in some individuals) kidney stress.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ketanov Injection Dosing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Adult (&gt; 50 kg, under 65):<\/strong> 30&nbsp;mg IM or slow IV every 6 hours; maximum 120&nbsp;mg\/day<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elderly (&gt; 65), body weight &lt; 50 kg, mild renal impairment:<\/strong> 15&nbsp;mg every 6 hours; maximum 60&nbsp;mg\/day<\/li>\n<li><strong>Single-dose IM:<\/strong> 60&nbsp;mg (under 65, normal weight) or 30&nbsp;mg (elderly, low weight)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Single-dose IV:<\/strong> 30&nbsp;mg slow IV push over at least 15 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum parenteral duration:<\/strong> 2 days<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maximum total (parenteral + oral) duration:<\/strong> 5 \u03b7\u03bc\u03ad\u03c1\u03b5\u03c2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The injection is given by a healthcare professional.

Stop the NSAID and seek medical review if you develop reduced urine output, swelling, or unexplained weight gain.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Side Effects of Ketanov Injection<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2:<\/strong> pain at the IM injection site, nausea, dyspepsia, drowsiness, dizziness, sweating, headache<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u03a3\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03b1 \u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03ac \u03c3\u03b7\u03bc\u03b1\u03bd\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ac:<\/strong> peptic ulcer and GI bleeding, acute kidney injury (especially in volume-depleted or elderly patients), hypertension, post-operative wound bleeding, elevated liver enzymes<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u03a3\u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b9\u03b1:<\/strong> anaphylaxis, severe hepatotoxicity, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, bronchospasm, aseptic meningitis<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seek urgent review for: signs of GI bleeding, breathing difficulty, facial swelling, severe wound bleeding after surgery, reduced urine output, or a widespread rash.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b1 &amp; \u03a0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03b4\u03bf\u03c3\u03b7<\/h2>\n<p>\u0397 MedsBase \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c3\u03c6\u03ad\u03c1\u03b5\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b1\u03b3\u03ba\u03cc\u03c3\u03bc\u03b9\u03b1 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u03bb\u03ae \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03ba\u03ac\u03b8\u03b5 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b1. \u039f\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u03b5\u03bb\u03af\u03b5\u03c2 \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c3\u03c4\u03ad\u03bb\u03bb\u03bf\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c3\u03b5 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03ba\u03c1\u03b9\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c6\u03c4\u03ac\u03bd\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03c3\u03b5 \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b5\u03c2 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03b5\u03bc\u03c0\u03bf\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03cc \u03c3\u03ae\u03bc\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5 \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03c4\u03ae. \u0395\u03ac\u03bd \u03b7 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03ce\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03b7 \u03b4\u03cc\u03c3\u03b7 \u03ae \u03c4\u03bf \u03bc\u03ad\u03b3\u03b5\u03b8\u03bf\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c5\u03c3\u03ba\u03b5\u03c5\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1\u03c2 \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b4\u03b5\u03bd \u03b5\u03af\u03bd\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1\u03b8\u03ad\u03c3\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf, \u03b5\u03c0\u03b9\u03ba\u03bf\u03b9\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd\u03ae\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u03b5\u03be\u03c5\u03c0\u03b7\u03c1\u03ad\u03c4\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03c0\u03b5\u03bb\u03b1\u03c4\u03ce\u03bd \u03b3\u03b9\u03b1 \u03b5\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03bc\u03ce\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf \u03c7\u03c1\u03cc\u03bd\u03bf \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u03ac\u03b4\u03bf\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#fff3f3;border-left:4px solid #d9534f;padding:14px 18px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:4px;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>\u0399\u03b1\u03c4\u03c1\u03b9\u03ba\u03ae \u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c0\u03bf\u03af\u03b7\u03c3\u03b7 \u03b5\u03c5\u03b8\u03c5\u03bd\u03ce\u03bd.<\/strong> The information on this page is provided for general education only. It is not a substitute for advice from your own doctor or pharmacist. NSAIDs have well-documented gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and renal risks &mdash; please talk to a qualified healthcare professional before starting, stopping, or changing therapy, especially if you have a history of ulcer disease, heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, or are pregnant.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"faqs\">\u03a3\u03c5\u03c7\u03bd\u03ad\u03c2 \u0395\u03c1\u03c9\u03c4\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is Ketanov Injection used for?<\/h3>\n<p>Ketanov Injection (ketorolac 30&nbsp;mg\/ml) is used for short-term treatment of moderate to severe acute pain &mdash; post-operative, renal colic, biliary colic, acute trauma, severe migraine, and severe dysmenorrhoea.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How is Ketanov Injection different from Ketorol DT?<\/h3>\n<p>Same molecule (ketorolac). Ketanov is the 30&nbsp;mg\/ml IM\/IV injection used in emergency rooms and post-operative care; Ketorol DT is the 10&nbsp;mg oral disintegrating tablet for step-down or home use. Total combined therapy must stay within 5 days.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How fast does Ketanov Injection work?<\/h3>\n<p>Onset is 10&ndash;30 minutes IM and within minutes IV. Peak effect at 45&ndash;60 minutes IM; duration 4&ndash;6 hours per dose.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Ketanov Injection as strong as morphine?<\/h3>\n<p>For moderate post-operative pain, 30&nbsp;mg IM ketorolac is comparable to 6&ndash;12&nbsp;mg IM morphine in most studies, without sedation, respiratory depression, or addiction risk. Many hospitals use ketorolac as part of an opioid-sparing regimen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I give Ketanov Injection at home?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Ketanov is an IM\/IV injection that should be given by a trained healthcare professional. Self-administration is not appropriate because of bleeding risk, potential injection-site problems, and the need for clinical monitoring.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why can&#8217;t I have ketorolac for more than 5 days?<\/h3>\n<p>The risk of GI ulcer, GI bleeding, and acute kidney injury rises sharply beyond 5 days of continuous ketorolac therapy. This is a regulatory and clinical limit. After 5 days, your pain should be managed with other NSAIDs, paracetamol, or &mdash; if truly necessary &mdash; opioids, under medical supervision.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Ketanov Injection be combined with paracetamol?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes &mdash; this combination is standard peri-operative care. Paracetamol 1&nbsp;g IV or oral plus ketorolac 30&nbsp;mg IM gives additive, multimodal pain relief.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Ketanov Injection be given before surgery?<\/h3>\n<p>Usually not as a pre-emptive analgesic in procedures with high bleeding risk. In lower-bleeding-risk surgery, an intra-operative dose is sometimes used under the surgeon&#8217;s judgement.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Ketanov Injection safe in elderly patients?<\/h3>\n<p>Use a reduced dose (15&nbsp;mg every 6 hours, maximum 60&nbsp;mg\/day) and the shortest possible duration. Elderly patients are particularly at risk of GI and renal side effects.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Ketanov Injection cause drowsiness or sedation?<\/h3>\n<p>Mild drowsiness is possible, but ketorolac does not cause the heavy sedation seen with opioids.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Ketanov Injection safe in pregnancy?<\/h3>\n<p>No &mdash; ketorolac is contraindicated during labour and delivery and should be avoided from 20 weeks of pregnancy onward. Paracetamol or morphine-equivalent analgesia is preferred.<\/p>\n<p><!-- medsbase-related-alts-v1 --><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u03a3\u03c7\u03b5\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2 \u0395\u03bd\u03b1\u03bb\u03bb\u03b1\u03ba\u03c4\u03b9\u03ba\u03ad\u03c2<\/h3>\n<p>\u0386\u03bb\u03bb\u03b1 \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03ca\u03cc\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b5 <strong>\u03a7\u03c1\u03cc\u03bd\u03b9\u03b5\u03c2 \u03a0\u03b1\u03b8\u03ae\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/strong> \u03c0\u03bf\u03c5 \u03bf\u03b9 \u03c0\u03b5\u03bb\u03ac\u03c4\u03b5\u03c2 \u03b5\u03be\u03b5\u03c4\u03ac\u03b6\u03bf\u03c5\u03bd \u03b5\u03c0\u03af\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/cort-s-injection\/\">Cort-S Injection<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/syndopa\/\">Syndopa<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/glinil-m\/\">Glinil M<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/azoran\/\">Azoran<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/efavir\/\">Efavir<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2705 Rapid pain relief<br \/>\n\u2705 Powerful anti-inflammatory<br \/>\n\u2705 Injectable convenience<br \/>\n\u2705 Effective post-surgery<br \/>\n\u2705 Analgesic action<\/p>\n<p>Ketanov Injection contains Ketorolac.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":57855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[3141,3223,3555],"product_tag":[4371,4370],"class_list":{"0":"post-57854","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-category-overview","7":"product_cat-chronic-conditions","8":"product_cat-pain-relief-medication","9":"product_tag-ketanov-injection","10":"product_tag-ketorolac","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-variable","17":"has-default-attributes"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/57854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57854"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=57854"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=57854"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/medsbase.com\/el\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=57854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
