Toradol

Your doctor will give you Toradol intravenously or intramuscularly to start, then have you switch to the tablets. Most patients take 2 tablets for the first dose (20 milligrams) and then 1 tablet (10 milligrams) every 4 to 6 hours. You should not take more than 40 milligrams per day and should not take Toradol for more than 5 days in all.

CHILDREN

For children under 16, the doctor may prescribe a single dose of Toradol, by intravenous or intramuscular injection, after an operation. Toradol is not recommended for children under 2.

OLDER ADULTS

Doses are usually lower for people over 65, those with kidney problems, and those who weigh less than 110 pounds. Your doctor will tailor the best dosage for you.

Overdosage

Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical attention immediately.

• Symptoms of Toradol overdose may include:
  Drowsiness, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting

In rare cases, the victim may develop stomach bleeding, high blood pressure, kidney failure, impaired breathing, or coma. Severe allergic reactions are also possible.
