AND

PHARMACOLOGY
NOVO-KETOROLAC (ketorolac tromethamine) is a non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drug
(NSAID) that has analgesic activity. It is considered to be a
peripherally acting analgesic. It is
thought to inhibit the cyclo-oxygenase enzyme system, thereby
inhibiting the synthesis of
prostaglandins. At analgesic doses it has minimal anti-inflammatory
and antipyretic activity.
The peak analgesic effect occurs at 2 to 3 hours post-dosing with no
evidence of a statistically
significant difference over the recommended dosage range. The greatest
difference between
large and small doses of administered ketorolac is in the duration of
analgesia.
Following oral administration, ketorolac tromethamine is rapidly and
completely absorbed, and
pharmacokinetics are linear following single and multiple dosing.
Steady state plasma levels are
achieved after one day of q.i.d. dosing.
- 2 -
Peak plasma concentrations of 0.7 to 1.1 µg/mL occurred at 44 minutes
following a single oral
dose of 10 mg. The terminal plasma elimination half-life ranged
between 2.4 and 9 hours in
healthy adults, while in the elderly subjects (mean age: 72 years) it
ranged between 4.3 and 7.6
hours. A high fat meal decreased the rate but not the extent of
absorption of oral ketorolac
tromethamine, while antacid had no effect.
In renally impaired patients there is a reduction in clearance and an
increase in the terminal half-
life of ketorolac tromethamine (See Table 1).
