Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) is categorized as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is typically used to alleviate moderate to severe pain and inflammation, especially after surgery. The drug operates by obstructing the production of prostaglandins, which are compounds responsible for causing inflammation, fever, and pain. Although the brand name Toradol is no longer available in the United States, generic versions of the drug may be available.
