Pain is often a part of life. Maybe you’re recuperating from surgery, coping with an athletic or overuse injury, or dealing with the effects of a chronic medical condition. Whatever the source of the pain, you want to get fast relief, so it doesn’t prevent you from living a full, active life.
With the high number of pain relieving medications and treatments available in today’s market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you. Concerns about effectiveness, safety, side effects, and addiction can often make treating your pain a more stressful experience than it has to be.
Our medical professionals have found Toradol to be an effective medication for pain relief, helping many of our customers get back on their feet and feeling like themselves again.
Mobile IV Nurses offers the powerful pain reliever Toradol as an add-in to any of our IV packages. It’s also one of the ingredients in our Premium package. We’ve chosen Toradol as our pain medication of choice because it’s a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that effectively eases pain and inflammation.
What Is Toradol?
Toradol is the brand-name version of ketorolac tromethamine. This medication is used to treat moderate to severe pain, but only for a short period of time.
This NSAID works because it reduces the body’s amount of prostaglandin, which triggers pain and inflammation with injuries and infections. Toradol also may alleviate fever or swelling at the site of an injury.
Toradol is known for being an effective painkiller, and is prescribed by many doctors for short-term use by patients. It’s often been used by NFL players looking to combat sports injuries. Its similarity to OTC treatments like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn), make it a great alternative to opioid treatment.
What Is Toradol Used For?
A Toradol IV push provides fast, effective relief because the medication is infused into the bloodstream for maximum absorption. There are specific types of pain that benefit from Toradol:
- Sports injuries: Weekend warriors and pro athletes alike are subject to injury, whether it’s caused by overuse of a particular set of muscles or a collision with another player on the court or field. Toradol can help with recovery so you can get back in the game.
- Arthritis: Flare-up symptoms may be relieved with this anti-inflammatory. Keep in mind Toradol isn’t designed for long-term, chronic pain.
- Surgical incisions: Recovery from an invasive medical procedure typically involves pain. Toradol is an alternative to opioid pain relievers because it’s not addictive.
- Migraine headaches: Pounding headaches need potent pain relief provided by Toradol. With pain reduced, migraine sufferers may see a reduction in other symptoms, such as fatigue and sensitivity to light and sound.
Talk to our medical professionals if you’re struggling with pain. They can help you find the right IV therapy for you. They will help you determine if Toradol is the right drug to combat your moderate to severe pain symptoms. If you’d like to move forward with Toradol treatment, we have a number of IV package options we can offer to help get you feeling good again.
Toradol IV Benefits
A big benefit to Toradol is that it is a stronger version of other NSAID drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen. It isn’t addictive like opioid medications, which makes it an ideal short term drug for pain. With Toradol, you get the reassurance of non-narcotic, non-addictive pain medication.
Our patients benefit from IV administration of Toradol with quicker absorption and faster pain relief. Since the drug gets into your system faster, it allows you to feel better faster too. However, there are some Toradol IV side effects. These include nausea, dizziness, and bowel problems, among others.
Talk with your IV provider or primary physician about potential side effects and drug interactions. Our goal is to provide you with safe, effective treatment for your pain symptoms. That’s why we take every precaution to address any possible side effects and issues that Toradol may present for you.
