LFAKETO TAB 1X10

About

LFAKETO Tablet, containing Ketorolac, is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) primarily used for the short-term management of moderately severe acute pain that requires analgesia at the opioid level. It works by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis, thereby reducing inflammation, pain, and fever. Due to its strong analgesic effect, it is often used post-operatively or for acute injuries.

Its use is typically limited to a few days to minimize the risk of serious side effects, particularly gastrointestinal and renal complications. It is not indicated for chronic pain management and should be used under strict medical supervision.
