Composition

Ketorolac (10 Mg)

Kelac Tablet 10 is primarily used to manage moderate to severe pain for short-term periods. It is not a combination medicine but belongs to the family of medicines known as NSAIDs.

Besides its main use, this medicine is also beneficial for handling postoperative pain and discomfort arising from musculoskeletal injuries. Its effectiveness comes from its ability to minimise inflammation and halt the production of certain body chemicals that cause pain and swelling. However, it's not advised for mild or long-term pain conditions such as arthritis.

Before you start taking this medicine, consult your doctor about the right dosage and frequency. Also, inform your doctor about any pre-existing health conditions or ongoing medications you are on. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Kelac Tablet 10 is used for the following:

Managing moderate to severe pain in the short term.
Providing relief after surgical procedures.
Alleviating discomfort due to musculoskeletal injuries.

Here's how you should take Kelac Tablet 10:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.
Do not chew or crush the tablet.
Always follow the dosage advised by your doctor and do not exceed this without consultation.

Kelac Tablet 10 is taken orally.

Kelac Tablet 10 may have the following common side effects:

Vomiting
Epigastric pain: This refers to pain located in the upper abdomen, just below the ribs.
Nausea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Kelac Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Kelac Tablet 10 comprises Ketorolac (10 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

Pain and Inflammation Control: Ketorolac minimises pain and inflammation in your body. It does this by blocking the release of certain chemicals in your body that trigger these symptoms.
Short-term Pain Management: Ketorolac is especially effective at managing acute pain conditions. It provides relief by disrupting the pain signals sent to your brain. This makes it an excellent option for managing short-term pain post-surgery or due to musculoskeletal injuries.
