Question : Is ketorol DT safe during pregnancy?

Answered by Dr. Soumya (4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not safe

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Ketorol DT is category C drug. Meaning it's not entirely safe during pregnancy and there is possibility of side effects.

It's advised to take it for a short while if you have been prescribed after some surgery. Better to avoid as much as possible.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards

Paracetamol is a better alternative.

Ketorol DT can be taken for couple of days which won't harm baby but nit for long term use I'd days together.
