A member asked:

I was given a shot of ketorolac i asked if it was ok while breastfeeding doctor said yes but i was also told it wasn't good for the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Toradol: As for a risk to the infant, it is negligible at best. Very little ketorolac is present in human milk, maybe 3-8 micrograms per day. The dose the infant receives is miniscule. Nothing to worry about. DrG
