Indications

Acupain Injection is indicated for:

• Short-term management of moderate to severe acute pain

Ketorolac Tromethamine works by inhibiting cyclooxygenase (COX-1 and COX-2) enzymes, which are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are key mediators of inflammation and pain. By reducing their production, Acupain effectively alleviates pain and inflammation.
