Minolac Tablet 10 mg contains Ketorolac Tromethamine, a potent non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for the short-term management of moderate to severe pain. It is particularly effective in relieving acute pain conditions where rapid and strong analgesic action is required. Due to its potency, it is typically prescribed for short durations under medical supervision.
