Important Safety Information: Ketorolac Tromethamine Tablets, 10 mg

What Important Information Should I Know About Ketorolac Tromethamine Tablets, 10 mg?

• GASTROINTESTINAL RISK: Ketorolac tromethamine, including ketorolac tromethamine tablets can cause peptic ulcers, gastrointestinal bleeding and/or perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Therefore, ketorolac tromethamine is CONTRAINDICATED in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, in patients with recent gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation, and in patients with a history of peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. Elderly patients are at greater risk for serious gastrointestinal events.
• CARDIOVASCULAR THOMBOTIC EVENTS: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. Ketorolac tromethamine tablets are contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.
• RENAL RISK: Ketorolac tromethamine is CONTRAINDICATED in patients with advanced renal impairment and in patients at risk for renal failure due to volume depletion.
• RISK OF BLEEDING: Ketorolac tromethamine inhibits platelet function and is, therefore, CONTRAINDICATED in patients with suspected or confirmed cerebrovascular bleeding, patients with hemorrhagic diathesis, incomplete hemostasis and those at high risk of bleeding. Ketorolac tromethamine is CONTRAINDICATED as prophylactic analgesic before any major surgery.
• RISK DURING LABOR AND DELIVERY: The use of ketorolac tromethamine in labor and delivery is contraindicated because it may adversely affect fetal circulation and inhibit uterine contractions.
• CONCOMITANT USE WITH NSAIDs: Ketorolac tromethamine is CONTRAINDICATED in patients currently receiving aspirin or NSAIDs because of the cumulative risk of inducing serious NSAID-related side effects.
• SPECIAL POPULATIONS: Dosage should be adjusted for patients 65 years or older, for patients under 50 kg (110 lbs) of body weight.

Who Should Not Use Ketorolac Tromethamine Tablets, 10 mg?

• Ketorolac tromethamine is contraindicated in patients with previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to ketorolac tromethamine
• Ketorolac tromethamine is contraindicated in patients with active peptic ulcer disease, in patients with recent gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation
• Ketorolac tromethamine should not be given to patients who have experienced asthma, urticaria, or allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Severe, rarely fatal, anaphylactic-like reactions to NSAIDs have been reported in such patients.
• right before or after heart bypass surgery
• The concomitant use of ketorolac tromethamine and probenecid is contraindicated
• The concomitant use of ketorolac tromethamine and pentoxifylline is contraindicated
