Ketorolac Dosing (Cont.)

General Ketorolac Dosing Information

Some considerations for people taking ketorolac include the following:
 
  • If you are taking ketorolac tablets, take your dosage by mouth with food and a full glass of water.
     
  • Do not break, chew, or crush the ketorolac tablets.
     
  • For ketorolac to work properly, you have to take it as prescribed. Ketorolac will not work if you take it in a way other than how your healthcare provider prescribes.
     
  • If you do not take your ketorolac as scheduled, take your next dose as soon as you remember. If it is close to the next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with normal dosing. Do not take double the dose at one time.
 
  • Do not take your ketorolac dosage with other NSAIDs. Generally, it is okay to take it with acetaminophen (Tylenol®).
     
  • If you are unsure about anything related to ketorolac or your ketorolac dosage, please talk to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist. Do not stop taking ketorolac without first discussing it with your healthcare provider.
