Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

It has a strong analgesic effect, moderate antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effect.

They are associated with indiscriminate inhibition of the enzyme cyclooxygenase of the first and second types in peripheral tissues, resulting in inhibition of the synthesis of prostaglandins - mediators of pain, inflammation and thermoregulation.

The drug has no effect on opioid receptors, does not cause addiction, does not depress breathing, and does not have a sedative or anxiolytic effect.

The strength of the analgesic effect is comparable to morphine and superior to other drugs in its group.

After oral administration, the analgesic effect is recorded after one hour, the greatest effect – after one to two hours. After an intramuscular injection, the onset of the analgesic effect is recorded after 30 minutes, the greatest effect – after one to two hours.

Pharmacokinetics

When taken internally and when administered by injection, it is actively absorbed from the intestines and tissues. The maximum concentration in the blood is recorded after 40-50 minutes, both after oral administration and after intramuscular injection. Eating does not affect absorption. Plasma protein binding is about 99%.

The half-life is approximately 6 hours. 90% of the dose is excreted by the kidneys, in its original form - 60%; the remaining amount is excreted through the digestive tract.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption when administered intramuscularly is complete and rapid. After intramuscular administration of 30 mg of the drug, the maximum concentration in blood plasma (Cmax) is 1.74-3.1 μg/ml; 60 mg – 3.23-5.77 µg/ml, time to reach maximum concentration, respectively – 15-73 minutes and 30-60 minutes; the maximum concentration after intravenous infusion of 15 mg is 1.96-2.98 mcg/ml, 30 mg is 3.69-5.61 mcg/ml. The time to reach equilibrium concentration (Css) with parenteral administration is 24 hours when administered 4 times a day (above the subtherapeutic dose) and with intramuscular administration is 15 mg - 0.65-1.13 mcg/ml, 30 mg - 1.29- 2.47 mcg/ml, with intravenous infusion of 15 mg – 0.79-1.39 mcg/ml, 30 mg – 1.68-2.76 mcg/ml.

99.2% of the drug binds to blood plasma proteins and with hypoalbuminemia the amount of free substance in the blood increases.

The volume of distribution is 0.15-0.33 l/kg. In patients with renal failure, the volume of distribution of the drug may increase by 2 times, and the volume of distribution of its R-enantiomer by 20%. Poorly passes through the blood-brain barrier and penetrates the placenta (10%). Found in small quantities in breast milk.

More than 50% of the administered dose is metabolized in the liver with the formation of pharmacologically inactive metabolites. The main metabolites are glucuronides, which are excreted by the kidneys, and p-hydroxyketorolac, which is excreted 91% by the kidneys, 6% through the intestines.

The half-life (T1/2) in patients with normal renal function averages 5.3 hours (3.5-9.2 hours after intramuscular administration of 30 mg and 4-7.9 hours after intravenous administration of 30 mg). The half-life is prolonged in elderly patients and shortened in young patients. Liver function does not affect the half-life. In patients with impaired renal function with a plasma creatinine concentration of 19-50 mg/l (168-442 µmol/l), the half-life is 10.3-10.8 hours, with more severe renal failure - more than 13.6 hours.

The total clearance is with intramuscular administration of 30 mg - 0.023 l/kg/h (0.019 l/kg/h in elderly patients), intravenous administration of 30 mg - 0.03 l/kg/h; in patients with renal failure with a plasma creatinine concentration of 19-50 mg/l with intramuscular administration of 30 mg - 0.015 l/kg/h.

Not excreted during hemodialysis.

Name

Ketorolac-LF.

Release form

Solution for intramuscular administration.

Dosage

1 ampoule of 1 ml, in a package of 10 pcs.

Description

Transparent light yellow liquid.

Compound

One ampoule contains: Active substance: ketorolac tromethamine – 30.0 mg. Excipients: ethanol, sodium chloride, disodium edetate, 1M sodium hydroxide solution or 1M hydrochloric acid solution, water for injection.

Pharmacotherapeutic group

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic drugs. ATX code. M01AB15.

Pharmacodynamics

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug. It has a pronounced analgesic effect, and also has anti-inflammatory and moderate antipyretic effects. The mechanism of action is associated with selective inhibition of the activity of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2), mainly in peripheral tissues, resulting in inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis. Does not affect opioid receptors, does not depress respiration, does not cause drug dependence, and does not have a sedative or anxiolytic effect. The strength of the analgesic effect is comparable to morphine, significantly superior to other NSAIDs. Ketorolac inhibits platelet aggregation and increases bleeding time. The functional state of platelets is restored 24-48 hours after discontinuation of the drug.

Pharmacokinetics

The bioavailability of ketorolac after intramuscular administration ranges from 80% to 100%. The pharmacokinetics of ketorolac under conditions of mid-therapeutic parenteral doses is a linear function. The equilibrium concentration of the drug in plasma is 50% higher than that determined after a single administration. More than 99% of the drug is bound to plasma proteins, resulting in an apparent volume of distribution of less than 0.3 l/kg. More than 50% of the administered dose is metabolized in the liver with the formation of pharmacologically inactive metabolites. The main metabolites are glucuronides and p-hydroxyketorolac. Ketorolac passes into breast milk. Excreted by the kidneys (91%) and through the intestines (6%). Glucuronides are excreted in the urine. The half-life in patients with normal renal function averages 5 hours. The total clearance is 0.025 l/kg/h. In patients with renal failure, the volume of distribution of ketorolac may increase by 2 times, and the volume of distribution of the R-enantiomer by 20%. The half-life is prolonged in elderly patients and shortened in younger patients. Liver function does not affect the half-life. In patients with impaired renal function with a plasma creatinine concentration of 19-50 mg/l (168-442 µmol/l), the half-life is 10.3-10.8 hours, with more severe renal failure - more than 13.6 hours. The total clearance in patients with renal failure at a plasma creatinine concentration of 0.016 l/kg/h. Ketorolac is not eliminated by hemodialysis.

Indications for use

Short-term relief of moderate and severe acute pain in the postoperative period. Treatment should be started only in a hospital setting, the maximum duration of treatment is 2 days.

Directions for use and dosage

Ketorolac-LF is intended for intramuscular administration; the drug should not be used for epidural or spinal administration. The solution is injected intramuscularly slowly deep into the muscle. The onset of the analgesic effect is about 30 minutes, the maximum severity is within 1-2 hours, the average duration of analgesia is 4-6 hours. Administration of the drug several times a day for more than 2 days is not recommended, since in most cases patients do not require longer-term analgesic therapy or can be transferred to oral administration of Ketorolac-LF. In this case, the duration of use of Ketorolac-LF parenterally and orally should not exceed 5 days in total. To achieve maximum analgesic effect in the early postoperative period, it is possible to use Ketorolac-LF and narcotic analgesics together; the daily dose of the latter in this case is reduced. Ketorolac-LF does not affect addiction to opioids and does not increase associated respiratory depression or sedation. Dose selection and adjustment should be made in accordance with the intensity of pain and response to the drug. To minimize side effects, it is recommended to use the minimum effective dose for the shortest possible course of treatment. Adults: The usually recommended initial dose of Ketorolac-LF is 10 mg, followed by 10-30 mg every 4-6 hours. In the early postoperative period, it is permissible to administer the drug every 2 hours, if necessary. The maximum daily dose is 90 mg/day, in patients weighing less than 50 kg – no more than 60 mg/day. Elderly patients (over 65 years of age): it is recommended to use the drug in the lowest effective dose, the total dose should not exceed 60 mg/day. Due to the higher risk of side effects in this group of patients, the minimum possible duration of treatment and regular monitoring of the patient’s condition to exclude gastrointestinal bleeding are recommended. Children: The safety and effectiveness of ketorolac in children have not been confirmed. Ketorolac-LF is not recommended for use in children under 16 years of age. Patients with renal impairment: The use of ketorolac is contraindicated in patients with severe to moderate renal impairment. In case of mild renal dysfunction, it is permissible to use Ketorolac-LF at a dose of no more than 60 mg/day. If combined parenteral and oral administration is necessary, the total daily dose of Ketorolac-LF should not exceed 90 mg (60 mg in patients over 65 years of age, patients weighing less than 50 kg or impaired renal function), while the dose of the drug taken orally should not exceed 40 mg/day. It is recommended to quickly transfer the patient only to the oral form of the drug.

From the body as a whole: general malaise, swelling, fever, increased sweating, weight gain, pain, swelling and hyperemia at the injection site. To prevent possible side effects, one should strive to use the minimum effective doses of the drug, strictly adhere to the established dosages and administration regimens, take into account the patient’s condition (age, concomitant diseases, liver and kidney function, the state of water-electrolyte metabolism and the hemostatic system), as well as possible drug interactions with combination therapy.

Contraindications

Bronchial asthma. Complete or partial syndrome of nasal polyps, bronchospasm, angioedema in history; Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum during the period of exacerbation, as well as a history of ulcers or gastrointestinal bleeding, the presence or suspicion of gastrointestinal bleeding; History of blood coagulation disorders, conditions with a high risk of bleeding, hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulopathies, hemorrhagic stroke, intracranial bleeding, simultaneous use with anticoagulants (including warfarin, low doses of heparin). Surgical interventions with a high risk of bleeding or the risk of incomplete stopping of bleeding; Moderate and severe renal failure (plasma creatinine more than 50 mg/l), risk of renal failure, hypovolemia, dehydration; Pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding; Hypersensitivity to ketorolac, aspirin, other NSAIDs or any component of the drug; Concomitant use of other NSAIDs (risk of additive side effects); Age up to 16 years; Congestive heart failure; The drug is not used for pain relief before and during surgery; The drug is not used for epidural and intrathecal administrations; Severe liver failure; Combined use with lithium preparations, pentoxifylline, probenecid.

Overdose

An overdose of ketorolac with a single or repeated use is usually manifested by pain in the abdomen, the occurrence of peptic ulcers of the stomach or erosive gastritis, impaired renal function, hyperventilation, metabolic acidosis, these symptoms are cured after stopping the drug. In these cases, gastric lavage, administration of adsorbents (activated carbon) and symptomatic therapy are recommended. Ketorolac is not sufficiently eliminated by dialysis.

Precautionary measures

Features of application. Ketorolac-LF is prescribed with caution to patients with impaired liver function. While taking Ketorolac-LF, it is possible to increase the level of liver enzymes. If there are functional abnormalities in the liver while taking ketorolac, a more severe pathology may develop. If signs of liver pathology are detected, treatment should be stopped. In patients with renal failure or a history of kidney disease, Ketorolac-LF is prescribed with caution. Elderly patients: since patients in this age group are more likely to develop adverse reactions, the minimum effective dose should be used (daily therapeutic dose not exceeding 60 mg for patients over 65 years of age). Children: there is insufficient data on the safety and effectiveness of Ketorolac-LF in children; therefore, the drug is not recommended for use in children under 16 years of age. Impact on laboratory test parameters: bleeding time may increase when studying coagulation parameters. Ketorolac can cause severe adverse reactions from the digestive tract at any stage of drug therapy after or without warning symptoms; such adverse reactions can be fatal. The risk of serious gastrointestinal bleeding is dose-related, but side effects can occur even with short-term therapy. In addition to a history of peptic ulcer disease, provoking factors are the simultaneous use of oral corticosteroids, anticoagulants, long-term therapy with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, smoking, drinking alcoholic beverages, and old age. If you suspect the development of adverse reactions from the gastrointestinal tract, ketorolac should be discontinued. NSAIDs should be used with caution in patients with a history of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis due to the possibility of worsening the course of the disease. Ketorolac inhibits platelet aggregation and prolongs bleeding time; platelet function returns to normal within 24-48 hours after discontinuation of the drug. In patients receiving anticoagulant therapy, the use of ketorolac may increase the risk of bleeding. Patients already taking anticoagulants or patients who require low-dose heparin should not receive ketorolac. In patients taking other drugs that affect hemostasis, ketorolac should be used with caution. In patients who have undergone surgery with a high risk of bleeding or incomplete hemostasis, ketorolac should not be used. Like other NSAIDs, ketorolac inhibits prostaglandin synthesis and may have toxic effects on the kidneys, so it should be used with caution in patients with impaired renal function or a history of kidney disease. Risk groups include patients with impaired renal function, hypovolemia, heart failure, liver dysfunction, patients using diuretics, and elderly patients. Fluid retention, sodium chloride retention, hypertension, oliguria and peripheral edema have been observed in some patients taking NSAIDs, including ketorolac, so it should be used with caution in patients with hypertension or heart failure. Before administering the drug, disturbances in water and electrolyte balance should be corrected. Clinical studies and epidemiological data suggest that the use of some NSAIDs, especially in high doses and for long periods of time, may be associated with an increased risk of arterial thrombotic complications such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Such a risk cannot be excluded for ketorolac. To minimize the potential risk of adverse cardiovascular complications in patients using NSAIDs, the minimum effective dose should be used for the shortest possible period of time. Ketorolac should be prescribed to patients with uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, established coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial and/or cerebrovascular disease only after a thorough assessment of all the advantages and disadvantages of such treatment. Ketorolac should be administered with caution to patients with impaired liver function or a history of liver disease. Significant increases (more than three times normal) in serum ALT and AST were observed in less than 1% of patients in controlled clinical studies. In addition, isolated cases of severe hepatic reactions have been reported, including jaundice, fulminant hepatitis, liver necrosis and liver failure, in some cases leading to death. If signs of liver dysfunction appear, ketorolac should be discontinued. Use of the drug in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus or connective tissue diseases may be associated with an increased risk of developing aseptic meningitis. There have been reports of serious skin reactions such as exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. The highest risk of developing these reactions exists at the beginning of treatment. Serious anaphylactic and anaphylactoid reactions, such as bronchospasm, laryngeal edema, angioedema, and anaphylactic shock, have been reported. Ketorolac should not be used in patients with a history of bronchial asthma, nasal polyp syndrome, bronchospasm, or angioedema. If a rash or other manifestations of hypersensitivity appear, treatment with the drug should be discontinued. The drug Ketorolac-LF contains a small amount of ethanol (100 mg per 1 ml).

Interaction with other drugs

Ketorolac slightly reduces the degree of protein binding of warfarin. In vitro studies have shown the effect of therapeutic doses of salicylates on the degree of binding of ketorolac to plasma proteins downward from 99.2% to 97.5%. When combined with furosemide, its diuretic effect may be weakened by approximately 20%. Probenecid reduces the plasma clearance and volume of distribution of ketorolac, increasing its plasma concentration and increasing its half-life. With the use of ketorolac, the clearance of methotrexate and lithium may decrease and the toxicity of these substances may increase. A possible interaction between ketorolac and non-depolarizing muscle relaxants has been noted, leading to the development of apnea. It is possible that simultaneous use with ACE inhibitors may increase the risk of renal dysfunction. Rare cases of the development of convulsive attacks have been described when ketorolac is combined with anticonvulsants (phenytoin, carbamazepine). Hallucinations may occur during simultaneous use of ketorolac and psychostimulant drugs (fluoxetine, thiothixene, alprazolam). Concomitant use of ketorolac and NSAIDs, including selective COX-2 inhibitors, should be avoided due to an increased risk of serious adverse events. Ketorolac inhibits platelet aggregation, reduces thromboxane concentrations and prolongs bleeding time. Platelet function returns to normal within 24-28 hours after stopping ketorolac. Concomitant use of ketorolac and therapeutic doses of warfarin, prophylactic doses of heparin (2500-5000 units over 12 hours) and dextrans may be associated with an increased risk of bleeding. NSAIDs should not be used for 8 to 12 days after mifepristone administration due to the potential for decreased efficacy of mifepristone. Concomitant use of ketorolac and pentoxifylline increases the risk of bleeding. Caution should be used when coadministered with corticosteroids due to the increased risk of gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. Ketorolac reduces the need for opioid analgesics when used to relieve postoperative pain. Ketorolac may increase the risk of seizures in patients taking quinolines concomitantly. Concomitant use of NSAIDs and zidovudine increases the risk of hematological toxicity. When ketorolac is used concomitantly with tacrolimus or cyclosporine, the risk of nephrotoxicity increases. NSAIDs may worsen heart failure, reduce glomerular filtration rate, and increase plasma levels of cardiac glycosides when used together. Incompatibility. Ketorolac-LF, solution for intramuscular administration, should not be mixed in small containers (for example, in one syringe) with morphine sulfate, meperidine hydrochloride, promethazine hydrochloride or hydroxyzine hydrochloride, since ketorolac may precipitate. Ketorolac-LF is pharmaceutically incompatible with tramadol and lithium preparations.

Use during pregnancy and lactation

The safety and effectiveness of using the drug Ketorolac-LF during pregnancy has not been established. Drugs that affect the synthesis of prostanlandins, including ketorolac, can cause a decrease in fertility, and therefore are not recommended for use by women planning pregnancy. The safety of the drug in pregnant women has not been studied. A study on rats and rabbits at toxic doses did not reveal a teratogenic effect. In rats, prolongation of gestational age and delayed birth were noted. Due to the known negative effect of NSAID drugs on the cardiovascular system of the fetus (risk of occlusion of the ductus arteriosus), ketorolac is contraindicated in pregnant women. The use of ketorolac during labor is not recommended due to the increased risk of bleeding in mother and child. Ketorolac passes into milk; therefore, it is not recommended to take Ketorolac-LF during breastfeeding.

Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and operate machinery

Since a significant proportion of patients who are prescribed ketorolac develop side effects from the central nervous system (drowsiness, dizziness, headache), it is recommended to avoid performing work that requires increased attention and quick reaction.

Use with other drugs from the same group (OKPD - non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs ), glucocorticosteroids, corticotropin, ethanol, calcium supplements increases the risk of ulceration of the gastrointestinal tract and bleeding from the stomach and intestines.

Co-administration with heparin , coumarin derivatives, thrombolytics ( Streptokinase, Alteplase ), cephalosporins, antiplatelet agents, valproic acid and aspirin increases the risk of bleeding.

Ketorolac weakens the effect of diuretic and antihypertensive drugs.

Use together with methotrexate increases hepato- and nephrotoxicity .

Ketorolac enhances the effect of narcotic analgesics.

Myelotoxic drugs enhance the hematotoxic effect of the drug.

Interaction with other drugs

The simultaneous use of ketorolac with acetylsalicylic acid or other NSAIDs, including cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, calcium preparations, glucocorticosteroids, ethanol, corticotropin can lead to the formation of gastrointestinal ulcers and the development of gastrointestinal bleeding.

The drug should not be used simultaneously with other NSAIDs (including cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors), as well as simultaneously with probenecid, pentoxifylline, acetylsalicylic acid, lithium salts, anticoagulants (including warfarin and heparin).

Do not use with paracetamol for more than 2 days. Co-administration with paracetamol increases nephrotoxicity, and with methotrexate - hepato- and nephrotoxicity. Co-administration of ketorolac and methotrexate is possible only when using low doses of the latter (monitor the concentration of methotrexate in the blood plasma).

Probenecid reduces the plasma clearance and volume of distribution of ketorolac, increases its concentration in the blood plasma and increases its half-life. With the use of ketorolac, the clearance of methotrexate and lithium may decrease and the toxicity of these substances may increase.

Co-administration with indirect coagulants (for example, warfarin), heparin, thrombolytics, antiplatelet agents, cefoperazone, cefotetan and pentoxifylline increases the risk of bleeding.

Reduces the effect of antihypertensive and diuretic drugs (the synthesis of prostaglandins in the kidneys is reduced). When combined with narcotic analgesics, the doses of the latter can be significantly reduced.

Antacids do not affect the complete absorption of the drug.

The hypoglycemic effect of insulin and oral hypoglycemic drugs increases (dose recalculation is necessary).

Co-administration with valproic acid causes disruption of platelet aggregation. Increases the plasma concentration of verapamil and nifedipine.

When prescribed with other nephrotoxic drugs (including gold preparations), the risk of developing nephrotoxicity increases.

Drugs that block tubular secretion reduce the clearance of ketorolac and increase its concentration in the blood plasma.

It is necessary to take into account possible interactions when using ketorolac simultaneously with cyclosporine, zidovudine, digoxin, tacrolimus, quinoline drugs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and mifepristone.
