Properties

Ketorolac — NSAIDs, has a pronounced analgesic (pain-relieving) effect, also has an anti-inflammatory and moderate antipyretic effect.

The mechanism of action is associated with non-selective inhibition of the activity of COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, mainly in peripheral tissues, resulting in inhibition of the biosynthesis of prostaglandins — modulators of pain sensitivity, inflammation and thermoregulation. Ketorolac is a racemic mixture of R(+) and S(-)-enantiomers, while the analgesic (pain-relieving) effect is due to the S(-)-enantiomer.

Ketorolac does not affect opioid receptors, does not depress breathing, does not cause drug dependence, does not have a sedative and anxiolytic effect.
