Drug Study Format 1.0

This drug study summarizes the drug Ketorolac (brand name Toradol). It is used for short term management of post-operative pain after delivery. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis to reduce pain perception. It should not be given to pregnant patients who are hypersensitive or have cross-sensitivity to NSAIDs. Side effects include headache, pallor, drowsiness, and diarrhea. Nursing considerations include checking the doctor's orders, observing the rights of drug administration, monitoring vital signs, assessing for allergies, and encouraging clients to report severe pain.
