Summary

Ketorolac intranasal and Torsemide can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens

What to do
Monitor diuretic effect, blood pressure, weight and creatinine, and keep ketorolac courses short. Ensure adequate hydration.
