Hello
Ketorolac is a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug and it is a analgesic drug. It acts by reducing the inflammation. Hence it is a anti-inflammatory drug and anlagesic drug. It acts differently compared to narcotic and it is much safer than narcotics as it is not habit forming drug like narcotics.
This can be safely taken for pain relief after plastic surgery on the orbit.
Thank you
