Ketorol-DT

Fast-acting pain relief for moderate to severe conditions.

What is Ketorol-DT?

Ketorol-DT (Ketorolac Dispersible Tablets) is a potent nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) designed for rapid relief from moderate to severe pain. The dispersible form ensures quicker absorption, making it ideal for acute pain management.

How Ketorol-DT Works

Ketorol-DT works by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes responsible for producing prostaglandins, which are chemicals that cause pain, inflammation, and swelling. By reducing prostaglandin production, Ketorol-DT effectively alleviates pain and inflammation.
