Actions: Effects begin nearly immediately and last for up to eight hours. A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs), Ketorolac is not a narcotic and is not habit-forming. It will not cause physical or mental dependence, as narcotics can. IV administration is consider the best route, better than oral, because it bypasses digestion, quickly relieving symptoms and not causing stomach upset. It works by blocking certain natural substances in the body to reduce pain and swelling. IV Infusion also allows for better and quicker hydration and replenishment of electrolytes.

Cautions: Generally only given via IV the first time. Subsequent doses are generally via oral tablet. Minor interactions with other drugs can be observed when taken orally, however when via IV administration, no notable negative interactions are observed. Do not give with Vitamin C, other vitamins, or BSI Vita-IV infusions during the same day.

More common side effects: Swelling of face, fingers, lower legs, ankles, and/or feet.

Less common side effects: Bruising (not at place of injection), high blood pressure, skin rash or itching, small red spots on skin, sores, ulcers, or white spots on lips or in mouth.

Do not give BSI oral medications this day. When the patient is feeling better, he may be prescribed probiotics and appropriate Jamu Jo. It is suggested the patient slowly drink room-temperature pure water during the IV infusion.

Dietary considerations: No caffeine, No sugar.
