Ketorol Insta tab. dispers. in the oral cavity 10 mg in a blister pack. in pack No. 10x2 (ketorolac)


Ketorol

NSAIDs have a pronounced analgesic effect, have anti-inflammatory and moderate antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with non-selective inhibition of COX activity (COX-1 and COX-2), which catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of pain, inflammation and fever. Ketorolac is a racemic mixture of [-]S- and [+]R-enantiomers, with the analgesic effect due to the [-]S-form. The strength of the analgesic effect is comparable to morphine, significantly superior to other NSAIDs.

The drug does not affect opioid receptors, does not depress respiration, does not cause drug dependence, and does not have a sedative or anxiolytic effect.

After oral administration, the analgesic effect develops within 1 hour.

Pharmacokinetics

Suction

When taken orally, ketorolac is well and quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. The bioavailability of ketorolac is 80-100%, Cmax after oral administration at a dose of 10 mg is 0.82-1.46 mcg/ml, Tmax is 10-78 minutes. Food rich in fat reduces the Cmax of the drug in the blood and delays its achievement by an hour.

Distribution

Plasma protein binding is 99%, Vd is 0.15-0.33 l/kg. The time to reach Css when taken orally at a dose of 10 mg 4 times a day is 24 hours, Css is 0.39-0.79 mcg/ml.

Excreted in breast milk: when taking ketorolac at a dose of 10 mg, Cmax in breast milk is achieved 2 hours after taking the first dose and is 7.3 ng/ml, 2 hours after taking the second dose of ketorolac (when using the drug 4 times a day) – 7.9 ng/l.

Metabolism

More than 50% of the administered dose is metabolized in the liver with the formation of pharmacologically inactive metabolites. The main metabolites are glucuronides and p-hydroxyketorolac.

Removal

Excreted mainly by the kidneys - 91%, through the intestines - 6%, glucuronides are excreted in the urine. Not excreted by hemodialysis.

T1/2 in patients with normal renal function averages 5.3 hours (2.4-9 hours after oral administration at a dose of 10 mg). When administered orally at a dose of 10 mg, the total clearance is 0.025 l/h/kg.

Pharmacokinetics in special groups of patients

T1/2 increases in elderly patients and shortens in young ones.

Impaired liver function does not affect T1/2.

In patients with renal failure, the Vd of the drug may increase by 2 times, and the Vd of its R-enantiomer by 20%. In patients with impaired renal function with a plasma creatinine concentration of 19-50 mg/l (168-442 µmol/l), T1/2 is 10.3-10.8 hours, with severe renal failure - more than 13.6 hours. In patients with renal failure (with plasma creatinine concentrations are 19-50 mg/l) total clearance is 0.016 l/h/kg.

Pharmacotherapeutic group: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)

ATX code: M01AV15

Pharmacological properties Pharmacodynamics Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) has a pronounced analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect. The mechanism of action is associated with non-selective inhibition of the activity of cyclooxygenase (COX) - COX-1 and COX-2, which catalyzes the formation of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, which play an important role in the pathogenesis of pain, inflammation and fever. Ketorolac is a racemic mixture of [-]S and [+]R enantiomers, and the analgesic effect is due to the [-]S form.

When applied topically, it causes a weakening or disappearance of pain at the site of application of the gel, including pain in the joints at rest and during movement, reduces morning stiffness and swelling of the joints. Helps increase range of motion.

Indications for use

Local application for pain relief:

  • pregnancy (III trimester);
  • period of breastfeeding (lactation);
  • children up to 16 years of age.
