Glutahenz 20% injection is an anti-inflammatory drug in the category of nonselective Cox inhibitors, containing the active ingredient Ketorolac. It is used to treat acute pain in adult patients. The injection form of this drug allows for rapid onset of action, making it particularly useful in situations where immediate pain relief is needed or when oral intake is not possible, such as postoperative conditions or cases of severe musculoskeletal pain. This drug should not be used for mild or long-term painful conditions. It is intended for short-term use only.

By inhibiting COX enzymes, this drug reduces the production of prostaglandins and subsequently decreases pain, inflammation, and fever.
