Summary
NSAIDs may weaken the antihypertensive effect of beta-blockers with prolonged use and can raise potassium or impair renal function. With short-term esmolol and intranasal ketorolac, the effect is usually small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Esmolol and Ketorolac intranasal have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
NSAID inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis leads to sodium and water retention that opposes blood pressure lowering.
What to do
No routine action is needed for short courses. Monitor blood pressure and renal function if the NSAID is used for more than a week.
