Ketanov Injection

Product Overview

Ketanov Injection is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) containing the active ingredient Ketorolac. It is commonly used to provide short-term relief from moderate to severe pain, such as postoperative pain, musculoskeletal pain, and renal colic. This Injection is available in injectable form and is administered either intramuscularly or intravenously. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are substances in the body that contribute to pain and inflammation. Ketanov Injection is widely used in hospitals and clinical settings for its fast-acting and potent analgesic properties.

Uses

Ketanov Injection is indicated for the short-term management of acute pain, including pain following surgery, trauma, or medical procedures. It is also used to manage pain associated with conditions such as renal colic, musculoskeletal disorders, and gynecological procedures. Ketanov Injection may be used alone or in combination with other analgesic medications to achieve optimal pain relief. It is suitable for use in adults and pediatric patients over 2 years of age.

How to Use

Ketanov Injection should be administered by a healthcare professional, usually in a hospital or clinical setting. The dosage and route of administration depend on the severity of pain, the patient’s age and weight, and their response to treatment. The injection is typically given intramuscularly into the gluteal region or intravenously over a period of several seconds. It is essential to follow the healthcare provider’s instructions carefully to ensure safe and effective use of this Injection.

How it Works

The active ingredient in Ketanov Injection, Ketorolac, belongs to the class of NSAIDs and works by inhibiting the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX), thereby reducing the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are chemicals in the body that promote inflammation, pain, and fever. By blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins, Ketorolac helps alleviate pain and reduce inflammation, leading to improved comfort and mobility.

Dosage and Administration

The recommended dosage of Ketanov Injection varies depending on the indication, the patient’s age, weight, and medical history. It is usually administered as a single dose, with the option for subsequent doses if necessary. The maximum duration of treatment with this Injection is limited to five days due to the risk of adverse effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding and renal impairment. Dosage adjustments may be required in patients with renal or hepatic impairment.

Common Side Effects

Common side effects of Ketanov Injection may include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and gastrointestinal discomfort.

Warnings

Ketanov Injection should not be used in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to Ketorolac or other NSAIDs, or in those with a history of asthma, peptic ulcer disease, or renal impairment.
