Podcast #190: Toradol Dosing

Author: Rachel Duncan, PharmD BCPS

Educational Pearls:

  • Toradol (Ketorolac) is an NSAID used for its anti-inflammatory properties
  • In practice, the common dosages are 30mg IV or 60mg IM.
  • Clinical concerns arise in patients with renal insufficiency or bleeding, but the risks are small (<1%).
  • Studies have found that doses over 7.5mg have the same efficacy in pain control as higher doses.
  • Consider lower-dose Toradol (15mg) and decrease dose in the elderly and those with a CrCl<50.
