Is It Safe To Take Paracetamol While On Ketorolac?
Question: Hi..I have a sudden unbearable toothache. I took ponstan but it didnt help, now my last option is to take paracetamol before I go to the dentist tomorrow early ..is it possible to take paracetamol while I have taken ponstan already?
Brief Answer:
Yes, you may take paracetamol, ketorolac is better option
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in.
I would like to tell you that any pain killer will give you temporary relief but for permanent relief go for treatment.
Ponstan contains mefanamic acid that is pain killer almost equivalent to paracetamol.
In case of acute pain you may take ketorolac 10 mg dispersible tablet as & when required.
Consult your dentist for further treatment plan.
Hope I answered your query
Wishing you good health
