Biochem/physiol Actions

Ketorolac is a non-steroidal agent that possesses moderate anti-inflammatory activity and is also a potent analgesic. It shows superior analgesic efficacy to that of the opioid analgesics like morphine in patients with moderate to severe postsurgical pain. It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid and collagen. It is a dual COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor.
