KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL

About

KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL belongs to the group of painkillers and analgesics used short-term to relieve moderate to severe pain. Pain is a sensation that occurs in response to external injury, stress, infection and travels as an impulse through body cells, producing an unpleasant feeling and alerting the body to act.

KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL contains Ketorolac and Tramadol. KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances (prostaglandins) and thus, relieves the body of swelling and subsequent pain. KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL also blocks pain-producing nerve transmitters, thereby providing pain relief. 

Take KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL as prescribed. KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL may cause certain common side effects such as stomach ache, nausea, vomiting, gas, and dizziness. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist. 

It is advisable to inform the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components of KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or breastfeeding. KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert. Avoid taking alcohol with KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL as it might lead to increased dizziness.

Uses of KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL

Treatment of Pain

Medicinal Benefits

KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL is an analgesic that is used as a painkiller for short-term management of moderate to severe pain. KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL contains Ketorolac and Tramadol. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the levels of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at the site of injury and cause inflammation and pain. Tramadol blocks the cellular reuptake of neurotransmitters (sensation-producing substances travelling through nerves) serotonin and noradrenaline, omitting pain impulses at the spinal level. Thus, KETOROLAC+TRAMADOL helps relieve pain.
