Ketorolac tromethamine should only be taken for a short time. Children should take it only once. It can cause major side effects such as ulcers and internal bleeding. It should not be used during surgery or childbirth. Do not use ketorolac tromethamine along with another nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), even if it is available over the counter. The appropriate dose of ketorolac tromethamine depends on age and weight.
