1 For pain that requires opioid-strength relief... You have a non-opioid option RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE Ask your healthcare provider if SPRIX (ketorolac tromethamine) Nasal Spray is right for you What is SPRIX? SPRIX (ketorolac tromethamine) is used in adult patients for the short term (up to 5 days) management of moderate to moderately severe pain that requires analgesia at the opioid level. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION WARNING: RISK OF SERIOUS CARDIOVASCULAR AND GASTROINTESTINAL EVENTS Cardiovascular Thrombotic Events Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, including myocardial infarction and stroke, which can be fatal. This risk may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. SPRIX is contraindicated in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Gastrointestinal Bleeding, Ulceration, and Perforation NSAIDS cause an increased risk of serious gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events including bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach or intestines, which can be fatal. These events can occur at any time during use and without warning symptoms. Elderly patients and patients with a prior history of peptic ulcer disease and/or GI bleeding are at greater risk for serious GI events. Please see full Important Safety Information throughout and enclosed Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning and patient Medication Guide.
