A member asked:
Severe back spasms. nsaids give me ulcers. the np stated that a toradol injection will not cause ulcers since it's an injection not a pill. this true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it is true: NSAIDS by mouth can cause ulcers. A Toradol injection bypasses absorption in the gut so it will not cause ulcers.
