Nasal Spray To Relieve Pain

Recently FDA has approved Sprix (with ketorolac tromethamine as active ingredient) to treat acute pain. Proposed use of Sprix is to relieve kind of pain that is required to treat without any opiod pain killer medications. It comes as better option to avoid opiod medicines which are highly addicative in nature. Sprix is NSAIDs, ketorolac is a non-selective COX inhibitor.

Current use of Ketorolac as injectable medicine to manage pain is widely accepted by physicians in hospitals. Being in a convenient form (nasal spray) Sprix is expected to be popular as instant pain killer remedy. Because of the way of uptake Sprix shows fast effects. It is absorbed fast in blood and acts as rapidly as to its injection counterpart.

Being rapid in action and fast effects, Sprix is classified as prescription medication. Physicians warn against its use in terms of self-medication. Even little overdose may cause serious side effects. Its use is strictly limited to 5 days.

Nasal pain killer spray is designed to provide ambulatory patients a convenient, highly effective, and rapid action alternative to treat acute moderate to moderately severe pain. Ketorolac tromethamine is a currently administered in USA hospitals as non-narcotic injectable pain killer for moderately severe pain.
