    AbstractThe pharmacokinetics of ketorolac tromethamine, a potent non-narcotic analgesic agent used for relief of moderate to severe pain, has been studied in 15 healthy volunteers who received single 10 mg doses intravenously (i.v.), intramuscularly (i.m.) and orally (p.o.) in a three-way cross-over design. The kinetics of i.v. ketorolac were characterized by a terminal half-life of 5.09 h, a small plasma clearance (CL = 0.35 ml.min-1.kg-1) and a small tissue distribution (Vss = 0.11 l.kg-1, V beta = 0.17 l.kg-1; mean (SD). Following i.m. and p.o. administration, peak levels of approximately 0.8 microgram/ml were rapidly attained (tmax = 0.8 and 0.9 h, respectively) and the systemic bioavailability was essentially complete.
