Ketanov 10 mg Tablet

Ketanov 10 mg Tablet is a prescription pain-relief medicine that contains 10 mg of ketorolac in each tablet. Ketorolac belongs to the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) class, which helps reduce pain and inflammation. Ketanov 10 mg Tablet is used for short-term treatment of moderate to severe pain, usually after surgery or for other painful conditions when a doctor decides an NSAID tablet is appropriate.

How it works: Ketorolac works by blocking substances in the body called prostaglandins that cause pain, swelling, and fever. In tablet form, Ketanov 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the stomach and intestine to help relieve pain throughout the body.

Ketanov 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet strength, so it is meant for people who can swallow tablets and need a doctor-directed dose of ketorolac. Compared with lower-strength tablet regimens, the 10 mg tablet gives a full single oral dose that may be chosen when a clinician wants convenient, repeatable dosing after a stronger initial pain-control plan. It is not a casual over-the-counter pain pill and is not intended for long-term use.

• Short-term relief of moderate to severe pain
• Post-operative pain
• Pain with inflammation
• Doctor-directed pain control when an NSAID tablet is appropriate

• Swallow Ketanov 10 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water unless your doctor gives different instructions.
• Take it exactly as prescribed; do not take more often or longer than directed.
• If it upsets your stomach, taking it with food or milk may help reduce irritation.
• Do not combine it with other NSAIDs unless your doctor specifically says it is safe.
• Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest time possible, because ketorolac is intended for short-term use only.

Each Ketanov 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of ketorolac per tablet. The doctor decides how many tablets to take and how often; in adults, oral ketorolac is often taken every 4 to 6 hours as needed, but the total daily dose should not exceed 40 mg per day. This strength is used only for short-term treatment and should be adjusted by a clinician based on pain severity and patient risk factors.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
