What is ketorolac used for?

Pain: Commonly used for pain. This is a powerful anti-inflammatory that can be injected or taken as a pill. This should only be used for not more than 5 days at a time due to the potential for severe GI issues such as bleeding and ulcers. This is often used for post-operative pain.
