NSAID in nasal form There is a drug called Toradol that has been around for a while and used parenterally in the hospital that is now in a nasal spray. Some use it for post-op pain in the recovery room and is used instead of morphine. The down side is that it is very hard on the stomach if used on a regular basis. They don't recommend it for longer than 5 days in a row. Still, I was wondering if it might be worth a try for breakthrough pain instead of a opiate to keep down the total opiate dose?
What's your thoughts?
