What is an “injection ketorolac” and what does its composition include?
“Injection ketorolac” refers to ketorolac tromethamine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for short-term management of moderate to severe pain. The drug product’s composition includes the active ingredient (ketorolac tromethamine) plus specific inactive ingredients (excipients) that vary by manufacturer and formulation (for example, injection concentrations and packaging can differ).
Which ketorolac injection strength is most commonly used?
Ketorolac injection products are commonly marketed in strengths such as 15 mg/mL for injection (IM/IV use, depending on the product). The exact “composition” (including excipients) is defined by the specific marketed product and its label.
What excipients are usually part of ketorolac injection products?
Ketorolac injection formulations typically use excipients to keep the drug stable in solution and suitable for injection (for example, components that manage pH and solubility). The specific excipient list is not the same across all ketorolac injection products, so you need the exact product name to confirm the full composition.
How can I get the exact composition for the ketorolac injection I’m looking at?
To provide the precise composition (active ingredient plus the full excipient list), I’d need one of the following:
- the exact brand name (or manufacturer), or
- the label details (strength like 15 mg/mL, and whether it’s IM/IV), or
- a photo/text of the “Inactive ingredients” section from the package insert.
Share the brand/manufacturer or the “Inactive ingredients” text and I’ll extract and restate the complete composition in a clean format.
