Always administer Toradol 60mg injection intramuscularly or intravenously. Intravenous administration should be slow, over at least 15-30 seconds to minimize the risk of hypotension. For intramuscular injection, use a large muscle mass like the gluteus maximus to ensure proper absorption. Avoid injecting into small or superficial muscles.
Intravenous Administration
The recommended initial dose is 30mg. You can repeat this dose every 6 hours as needed, but the total daily dose should not exceed 120mg. Closely monitor the patient for any adverse reactions.
Intramuscular Administration
The typical dose is 60mg, which can be repeated every 6-8 hours as directed by a physician. The maximum daily dose remains 120mg. Observe the patient for signs of allergic reaction, such as rash or swelling.
Important Precautions
Before administering Toradol, carefully review the patient’s medical history, paying particular attention to renal impairment, bleeding disorders, and hypersensitivity to NSAIDs. Always consult the full prescribing information for complete details on contraindications, warnings, and potential drug interactions.
