Indications
Torax serves as a short-term solution for managing moderate to severe acute post-operative pain. Additionally, Torax ophthalmic solution aids in relieving pain, inflammation, and light sensitivity post-ocular surgery, and may alleviate eye inflammation or redness from seasonal allergies.
Description
Torax belongs to the pyrrolo-pyrrole group of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), chemically known as 5-benzoyle-2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrroligine-1-carboxylic acid, combined with 2-amino-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (1:1). It inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, acting as a peripherally acting analgesic. Torax’s pharmacokinetic properties are linear, highly protein-bound, and primarily metabolized in the liver, with some metabolites excreted in urine.
Pharmacology
Ketorolac Tromethamine, a potent analgesic NSAID, inhibits the cyclooxygenase enzyme system, thereby suppressing prostaglandin synthesis. It exhibits minimal anti-inflammatory effects at its analgesic dose.
