Accepted Answer

See details: Why were you prescribed Toradol in the first place? You need to call the doctor who prescribed them. If you are having any issues related to this high dose, go to the ER now.

Question 2

what exactly is toradol?

Accepted Answer

Liquid ibuprophen: In the class of anti-inflammatory medications, it may be injected into a vein or muscle by health professionals in an attempt to provide faster pain relief. Bottom line: oral dosing is just as timely, & effective (and far less costly). Also, not that one dose will cause any problems, chronic use of these kinds (oral anti-inflammatories) cause significant morbidity and mortality. Avoid if possible.

Question 3

effects of taking toradol?

Accepted Answer

Affects Bleeding : Shouldn't take toradol for more than 5 days. In other words it is only a very short term med. There is a much higher chance of bleeding into the brain or even the spinal column or GI hemorrhage. Ironically there is a higher chance of stroke or heart attack and shouldn't be used after CABG surgery. As an nsaid, there can be damage to the kidney function as well. There are a number of alternatives.

Longer if Kidney Dz: Toradol orally peak effect is within 2-3 hours and can provide relief for as long as 8 hours, but should not be used for more than 5 consecutive days.

Accepted Answer

48 to 72 Hours: Toradol (generic ketorolac) is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication indicated for short-term management of moderate to severe pain.  It's half-life is fairly short and  should be out of your system in 48 to 72 hours. To learn more about toradol: http://www.Prescriptiondrug-info.Com/drug_details.Asp?Title=toradol&ad=true.

Question 7

will toradol test positve in a drug srceen for probation?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't matter: Toradol (ketorolac) is a pain reliever in the same class as Ibuprofen (Motrin) or Naproxen (Aleve), called NSAIDs. It isn't a controlled drug like a narcotic or amphetamine. It is perfectly legal to take under any circumstances, and would not cause problems in any type of drug screen. They are looking for signs of drug abuse, especially of narcotics or cocaine.

Question 8

how often can you use toradol? i know you shouldn't use it for more than 5 days but is it okay for you to use it every month for 5 days at a time?

Accepted Answer

Generally safe: You can use it up to 4 times a day for no more than 5 days, so if you're using it less than that it's supposed to be safe.  I generally tell my patients to use as little as they can get away with.

Question 9

toradol side effects?

Accepted Answer

Mostly GI: Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Less serious side effects include: 
•upset stomach, mild nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, constipation;

•mild heartburn, stomach pain, bloating, gas;

•dizziness, headache, drowsiness;

•sweating; or

•ringing in your ears.

Question 10

can i drink while on toradol?

Accepted Answer

No and No: Toradol should only be for very short periods of time (5 days max)due to it's side effects, particularly the stomach and bowels in general and bleeding particularly. Adding alcohol tremendously increases the risk of all of these complications.It should not be used for minor or chronic pain.
