Frequently Asked Questions About Toradol Injection

What is Toradol IM used for?

Toradol IM (Ketorolac) is used for the short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain, often after surgery. It works by reducing inflammation and pain quickly through intramuscular injection.

Toradol IM is administered by a healthcare professional through an injection into a muscle, typically in the buttocks or upper arm. This method provides rapid pain relief.

A Toradol intramuscular injection typically provides pain relief for 4 to 6 hours per dose. It’s commonly administered every 4 to 6 hours, with a maximum of five doses within a 24-hour period. The overall duration of treatment with Toradol IM is limited, usually no more than 2 days, to minimize risks such as gastrointestinal bleeding or kidney problems.

Toradol IM should not be used for more than 5 consecutive days due to the increased risk of serious side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney damage.
Toradol IM is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, due to the risk of harm to the unborn baby. It is also not recommended for breastfeeding mothers as it can pass into breast milk and may affect the nursing infant.
Toradol IM is not recommended for patients with severe kidney problems or a history of kidney disease, as it can exacerbate kidney function and cause further damage.
It is advised to avoid alcohol while receiving Toradol IM as it can increase the risk of stomach bleeding and exacerbate potential side effects.
If you miss a scheduled Toradol IM injection, contact your healthcare provider for advice. Do not attempt to self-administer the injection.
Avoid taking other NSAIDs (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) or blood thinners (such as warfarin) while receiving Toradol IM, as the combination can increase the risk of bleeding and other side effects. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking.
In case of a Toradol IM overdose, seek immediate medical attention or contact a poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include severe stomach pain, vomiting, drowsiness, and shallow breathing.

Toradol (ketorolac) is generally the most potent over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) for short-term moderate to severe pain relief. It significantly outperforms both ibuprofen and acetaminophen in pain reduction, especially in postoperative or acute pain situations.

  • Toradol offers strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects but is limited to short-term use (usually up to 5 days) due to increased risk of gastrointestinal, kidney, and cardiovascular side effects.

  • Ibuprofen is effective for mild to moderate pain and inflammation, suitable for longer-term use and generally safer for daily management.

  • Acetaminophen (paracetamol) provides good relief for mild to moderate pain and fever, with minimal gastrointestinal upset and no anti-inflammatory action, making it safe for those who can’t tolerate NSAIDs.

In summary, Toradol is the most powerful for acute, intense pain—while ibuprofen and acetaminophen are better for routine, longer-term relief with fewer risks.
