One time consumption is fine but dont continue that for long. You can take a Tab Vonomac 10 just before taking tab Ketorol Dt. Or Mucaine gel to reduce gastric irritation.

You're right to be cautious about taking medications, especially on an empty stomach. Ketorol DT, like many painkillers, can irritate the stomach lining and cause discomfort or ulcers if taken without food. To minimize potential side effects, it's generally recommended to take medications like Ketorol DT with food or after meals. This can help buffer the stomach and reduce the risk of irritation. Regarding pain management, it's essential to follow your doctor's or dentist's advice on when and how to take painkillers. While it's true that overusing painkillers can have negative consequences, taking them as directed during severe pain can help manage discomfort and support your recovery. If you have concerns about your medication or pain management, be sure to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized guidance and help you find the best approach for your specific situation.
