Toradol is used for the short-term (up to 5 days) treatment of moderate or severe pain (usually after surgery), alone or in combination with other medicines. 

        Use Toradol as directed by your doctor. 

        Toradol may be taken with food if it upsets your stomach. Taking it with food may not decrease the risk of stomach or bowel problems (such as bleeding or ulcers) that may occur while taking Toradol. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you experience persistant stomach upset. 

        Do not use this medication for more than 5 days. Toradol is not for the treatment of mild to moderate or chronic pain (e.g., headache). 

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Toradol.
