Ketorolac is a potent analgesic agent of the non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory class (NSAID)
Ketorolac is a potent analgesic agent of the non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory class (NSAID). Its mode of action is to inhibit the cyclooxygenase enzyme system and hence prostaglandin synthesis and it demonstrates a minimal anti-inflammatory effect at its analgesic dose. Ketorolac is not an anesthetic agent and possesses no sedative or anxiolytic properties; therefore it is not recommended as a pre-operative medication for the support of anesthesia when these effects are required. It is not an opioid and, has no known effects on opioid receptors.
