Ketotram Tablet contains Ketorolac and Tramadol. Ketotram Tablet works by reducing the production of inflammatory substances (prostaglandins) and thus, relieves the body of swelling and subsequent pain. Ketotram Tablet also blocks pain-producing nerve transmitters, thereby providing pain relief.

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if these side effects persist.

Medicinal Benefits

Ketotram Tablet is an analgesic that is used as a painkiller for short-term management of moderate to severe pain. Ketotram Tablet contains Ketorolac and Tramadol. Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that works by reducing the levels of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at the site of injury and cause inflammation and pain. Tramadol blocks the cellular reuptake of neurotransmitters (sensation-producing substances travelling through nerves) serotonin and noradrenaline, omitting pain impulses at the spinal level. Thus, Ketotram Tablet helps relieve pain.
