Educational Pearls:

Ketorolac and ibuprofen are NSAIDs with equivalent efficacy for pain in the emergency department

Oral ibuprofen provides the same relief as intramuscular ketorolac
IM ketorolac is associated with the adverse effect of a painful injection
IM ketorolac is slightly faster in onset but not significant
Studies have assessed the two medications in head-to-head randomized-controlled trials and found no significant difference in pain scores

IM ketorolac takes longer to administer and has a higher cost
Ketorolac dosing

Commonly given in 10 mg, 15 mg, and 30 mg doses
However, higher doses are associated with more adverse effects

Gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and bleeding risk

Studies have demonstrated equal efficacy in pain reduction with lower doses
