Ketorolac, the active ingredient in Toradol, has been found to be safe for use in breastfeeding women.
Toradol is a pain relief medication that is commonly used for the short-term management of moderate to severe pain. It is often prescribed to patients after surgery or for other conditions that require significant pain relief.
When taking Toradol, it is important to use the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration in order to reduce the risk of side effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding.
Hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, bronchospasm, and angioedema, have been reported in some patients taking Toradol. Although rare, these side effects can be severe and require immediate medical attention.
Additionally, Toradol use has been associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. It is important to let your doctor know if you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding or if you are taking other medications that can increase the risk of bleeding, such as anticoagulants.
According to a study involving 10 healthy breastfeeding women, ketorolac, the active ingredient in Toradol, is excreted into human milk in very small amounts. However, it is still important to discuss any potential risks with your doctor before taking Toradol while breastfeeding.
