Mechanism of Action:
Ketorolac Tromethamine works by inhibiting the body's production of substances that cause inflammation and pain. As a non-selective cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitor, its mechanism involves blocking both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, leading to decreased formation of prostaglandins. This biochemical activity results in effective reduction of pain and inflammation with a relatively rapid onset of action.
