Medicinal Benefits

Ketolac Tablet is an NSAID used as a painkiller for short-term pain management. Ketolac Tablet finds application in pain relief before or post-surgery. It is also used temporarily to treat severe pain in patients suffering from arthritis (bone inflammation). Ketolac Tablet works by reducing the levels of inflammatory substances called prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced at the site of injury and cause inflammation and pain.
