    Ketorolac is a non-selective COX inhibitor used for treating inflammation and pain in the operation site. It works by competitively blocking the enzyme cyclooxygenase. Common side effects include headache, abdominal pain, nausea, heartburn, and dizziness. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity, peptic ulcer disease, renal disease, or risk of bleeding. Nurses should monitor for signs of pain relief and educate patients on avoiding other NSAIDs and alcohol during treatment.
