Contraindications and Precautions: Who Shouldn’t Use Toradol

Avoid Toradol if you have a known allergy to ketorolac or other NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). This includes a history of allergic reactions such as asthma attacks, swelling, or hives.

Do not use Toradol if you have active peptic ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding. The drug can irritate the stomach lining.

Patients with severe kidney or liver problems should not use Toradol, as it may worsen existing conditions. Your doctor should carefully assess your kidney and liver function before prescribing.

Toradol is not suitable for people with untreated severe heart failure. It can impact fluid retention.

Pregnant women, especially in the third trimester, should avoid Toradol. It can affect the developing fetus and increase the risk of complications during labor and delivery. It’s also not recommended during breastfeeding.

Patients taking other drugs that increase bleeding risk (such as warfarin or aspirin), should discuss Toradol use with their doctor. Concomitant use may increase bleeding risks.

Individuals with a history of bleeding disorders should exercise caution and consult their doctor before using Toradol.

Children under 16 years old should not receive Toradol. It hasn’t been thoroughly studied in this age group.

Always inform your doctor about all medications you take, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements, to avoid potential interactions. A complete medication history is crucial for safe Toradol use.
