Ketorolac injection is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) given to relieve moderately severe pain, usually after surgery. It is given in a hospital or medical office and is meant for short-term use only. It relieves pain and reduces swelling but does not cure the underlying illness or stop it from getting worse.
