Kelac 10 mg Tablet

Kelac 10 mg Tablet is a prescription pain-relief medicine that contains ketorolac 10 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class and is used for short-term relief of moderate to severe pain. Kelac 10 mg Tablet is typically used when a doctor wants a stronger, non-opioid option for acute pain rather than long-term treatment.

How it works: Ketorolac works by blocking substances called prostaglandins, which help cause pain, swelling, and fever. As a tablet, Kelac 10 mg Tablet is absorbed through the digestive tract and then helps reduce pain signals throughout the body.

Kelac 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet strength that may be chosen after a clinician has assessed that this dose is appropriate for an adult patient. Compared with lower-strength options, the 10 mg tablet provides a full tablet dose in a convenient swallowed form, and it may be used for short-term pain control when a doctor wants predictable dosing from the tablet form. This is not a mild everyday pain medicine and is generally reserved for specific short-term use.

• Short-term relief of moderate to severe pain
• Pain after surgery or injury
• Pain when an NSAID is needed instead of an opioid
• Inflammatory pain as directed by a doctor

• Swallow Kelac 10 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it exactly as prescribed and do not take it longer than directed, since ketorolac is meant for short-term use only.
• You may take it with food or milk if it upsets your stomach, although food can slow how quickly it starts working.
• Do not take extra doses to catch up if you miss one; wait for the next scheduled dose.
• Avoid taking it with other pain relievers unless your doctor says it is safe, especially other NSAIDs.

Each Kelac 10 mg Tablet contains 10 mg of ketorolac. The dosing schedule is decided by the doctor, but oral ketorolac is often taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed for short-term pain, with a maximum of 40 mg in 24 hours for adults. The total treatment time is usually limited to no more than 5 days because longer use raises the risk of serious side effects.
