Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this fall that your other sustained. I wish her a quick recovery from this fracture.
Toradol is not available as 5/325, please check to make sure your got the information right. The practice of giving a pain medication to a client when in severe pains in between regular doses is well recognized and proves very helpful to clients. The main goal with pain management is looking for that drug or combination of drugs in safe proportions, at varied intervals that can control pain adequately. If this controls her pains better, there is no reason to get worried. If it does not work appropriately, the doctor would review and propose a new management plan.
In all, it is a well recognized and used practice.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
