Per operatori sanitari — solo a scopo di riferimento. Questa pagina è una sintesi breve, non è un parere medico e non sostituisce il RCP ufficiale né il giudizio clinico. Verificare sempre prima di prescrivere o dispensare.

Sintesi

Ketorolac can sharply increase methotrexate exposure and impair renal function, leading to severe myelosuppression, mucositis and renal injury, particularly with high-dose methotrexate.

Cosa significa questa interazione in parole semplici

Ketorolac and Methotrexate are not normally used together. Taking them at the same time is expected to cause harm or make one of them unsafe, so a different medicine is usually chosen for one of the two.

Ketorolac belongs to Musculoskeletal; Methotrexate belongs to Oncology.

Livello di evidenza: High

Perché avviene

Reduced renal tubular secretion of methotrexate combined with ketorolac-induced reduction in renal perfusion.

Cosa fare

Do not combine ketorolac with high-dose methotrexate and use a non-NSAID analgesic instead. Avoid it with low-dose methotrexate where possible, particularly in renal impairment.
