Pain remains a tremendous burden on patients and for the health care system, with uncontrolled pain being the leading cause of disability in this country. There are a variety of medications that can be used in the treatment of pain, including ketorolac, oxymorphone, tapentadol, and tramadol. Depending on the clinical situation, these drugs can be used as monotherapy or in conjunction with other types of medications in a multimodal approach. A strong appreciation of pharmacologic properties of these agents and potential side effects is warranted for clinicians.

Effective postoperative analgesia with minimal side effects remains an important goal in enabling increasingly complex surgical procedures to be performed on an outpatient basis. In this study, we examined the efficacy of postoperative analgesia in 90 patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a patellar tendon autograft, with a 24-hour hospital stay. Patients were randomized to receive either intramuscular ketorolac supplemented by oral oxycodone, or intravenous morphine via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device, for postoperative analgesia.

Ketorolac tromethamine, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic, was compared with flunixin and butorphanol for its analgesic efficacy and potential side effects after laparotomy or shoulder arthrotomy in dogs. Sixty-four dogs were randomly assigned to receive butorphanol 0.4 mg/kg body weight (BW) (n = 21), flunixin 1.
