Kamala and Ketorolac Tromethamine

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Ketorolac Tromethamine and Kamala in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — there is often limited research on supplements and herbal products, especially around drug interactions.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Kamala at all — not against Ketorolac Tromethamine, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

If you decide to take both, the practical routine is simple: add one new thing at a time and note the date you started it. If the combination is going to disagree with you, it usually shows in the first days to a couple of weeks — and a start date turns “I’ve been feeling off” into something a pharmacist can actually work with. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

What Ketorolac Tromethamine’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Kamala. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Ketorolac Tromethamine’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you take both. 8 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • High potassium Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Kidney problems Worth acting on
  • Raised blood pressure Worth acting on
  • Liver problems Worth acting on
  • Bleeding or bruising Worth acting on
  • Passing urine more often
  • A stuffy or runny nose

Showing the 10 most notable of 13 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Ketorolac Tromethamine. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 5,598 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Ketorolac Tromethamine that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Kamala’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Kamala side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Kamala has no side effects.

About Kamala

What is Kamala?

  • Intestinal worms (especially tapeworm)
  • Skin conditions and parasites
  • Constipation/laxative effect
  • Wound care (traditional)
  • Use as a natural orange-red dye

Kamala is a red powder from the fruit of the Mallotus philippensis tree, used in traditional medicine mainly to expel intestinal worms and as a dye. Modern human evidence for its safety and effectiveness is very limited, and it can cause significant digestive upset, so it should only be used under professional guidance, if at all.

Mallotus philippensis · Euphorbiaceae · Red powder (glands and hairs) from the surface of the fruit; sometimes bark and leaves · Powder, capsules, traditional preparations; also used historically as a dye

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Kamala is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Kamala record says about it on its own.

Kamala: dosing

There is no well-established, standardized dose of Kamala supported by modern clinical research. Do not exceed the recommended amount, and avoid using it for self-treatment of worm infections without medical guidance, since safer and better-studied options are available.

About Ketorolac

What Is Ketorolac Used For?

Brand names: Toradol, Acuvail

Ketorolac is used for short-term management of moderately severe acute pain — the kind that would otherwise require an opioid-level painkiller. It is most commonly used in a postoperative (after surgery) setting.

Treatment is always started with an injection (IV or IM), and oral tablets are only used as a follow-up if needed. The total treatment time — shots plus pills combined — must never exceed 5 days. It is not meant for minor aches or long-term pain conditions.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Ketorolac Tromethamine

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (5,598 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Drug hypersensitivity 329 reports
Nausea 295 reports
Headache 284 reports
Fatigue 254 reports
Dyspnea 245 reports
