Medication Guide for Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)
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
1.
Do not take NSAIDs right before or after a heart surgery called a
“coronary artery bypass graft
(CABG).”
1.
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
1.
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.
Before taking NSAIDs, tell your healthcare provider about all of y

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

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)
