The analgesic efficacy and bioavailability of 30 mg intramuscular ketorolac was studied in 24 patients with severe or very severe postoperative pain. ⋯ Results show that 30 mg intramuscular ketorolac is an adequate treatment for postoperative pain in the Mexican population. Therefore, the use of higher doses is not justified. Due to gradual installation of analgesia, administration of additional analgesic medication before 1 h is not recommended.
