Ketorolac tromethamine is a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAID) that functions as a powerful painkiller. It operates by inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzyme system, which, in turn, prevents the formation of prostaglandins. Although it primarily serves as an analgesic (pain reliever) at its prescribed dose, it has a relatively minor anti-inflammatory effect.
