MEDICATION GUIDE FOR NONSTEROIDAL
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS (NSAIDS)
Dispense with Medication Guide available at: www.tevausa.com/medguides
What is the most important information I should know about medicines
called Nonsteroidal Anti-
inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)?
NSAIDs can cause serious side effects, including:
•
Increased risk of a heart attack or stroke that can lead to death.
This risk may happen early
in treatment and may increase:
•
with increasing doses of NSAIDs
•
with longer use of NSAIDs
Do not take NSAIDs right before or after a heart surgery called a
“coronary artery bypass graft
(CABG).”
Avoid taking NSAIDs after a recent heart attack, unless your
healthcare provider tells you to. You
may have an increased risk of another heart attack if you take NSAIDs
after a recent heart attack.
•
Increased risk of bleeding, ulcers, and tears (perforation) of the
esophagus (tube leading
from the mouth to the stomach), stomach and intestines:
•
anytime during use
•
without warning symptoms
•
that may cause death
The risk of getting an ulcer or bleeding increases with:
•
past history of stomach ulcers, or stomach or intestinal bleeding with
use of NSAIDs
•
taking medicines called “corticosteroids”, “anticoagulants”,
“SSRIs”, or “SNRIs”
•
increasing doses of NSAIDs
•
older age
•
longer use of NSAIDs
•
poor health
•
smoking
•
advanced liver disease
•
drinking alcohol
•
bleeding problems
NSAIDs should only be used:
•
exactly as prescribed
•
at the lowest dose possible for your treatment
•
for the shortest time needed
What are NSAIDs?
NSAIDs are used to treat pain and redness, swelling, and heat
(inflammation) from medical
conditions such as different types of arthritis, menstrual cramps, and
other types of short-term pain.
Who should not take NSAIDs?
Do not take NSAIDs:
•
if you have had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergic reaction
with aspirin or any other
NSAIDs.
•
right before or after heart bypass surgery.

KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE TABLETS USP, 10 MG
RX ONLY
WARNING
KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE TABLETS, A NONSTEROIDAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUG
(NSAID), ARE INDICATED FOR THE SHORT-TERM (UP TO 5 DAYS IN ADULTS),
MANAGEMENT OF MODERATELY SEVERE ACUTE PAIN THAT REQUIRES ANALGESIA AT
THE OPIOID LEVEL AND ONLY AS CONTINUATION TREATMENT FOLLOWING IV OR IM
DOSING OF KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE, IF NECESSARY. THE TOTAL COMBINED
DURATION OF USE OF KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE TABLETS AND KETOROLAC
TROMETHAMINE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 5 DAYS.
KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE TABLETS ARE NOT INDICATED FOR USE IN PEDIATRIC
PATIENTS AND THEY ARE NOT INDICATED FOR MINOR OR CHRONIC PAINFUL
CONDITIONS. INCREASING THE DOSE OF KETOROLAC TROMETHAMINE TABLETS
BEYOND A DAILY MAXIMUM OF 40 MG IN ADULTS WILL NOT PROVIDE BETTER
EFFICACY BUT WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF DEVELOPING SERIOUS ADVERSE
EVENTS.
GASTROINTESTINAL RISK
Ketorolac tromethamine, including ketorolac tromethamine tablets can
cause
peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and/or perforation of the
stomach or
intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time
during use
and without warning symptoms. Therefore, ketorolac tromethamine is
CONTRAINDICATED in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, in
patients with
recent gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, and in patients with
a history of
peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Elderly patients
are at greater
risk for serious gastrointestinal events (see WARNINGS).
CARDIOVASCULAR THOMBOTIC EVENTS
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause an increased risk
of
serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial
infarction and
stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and
may
increase with duration of use (see WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS).
Ketorolac tromethamine tablets are contraindicated in the setting of
coronary
artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery (see CONTRAINDICATIONS and
WARNINGS).
