Abstract
Methods are disclosed utilizing optically pure R-ketorolac for the treatment of pain, including but not limited to pain associated with toothaches, headaches, sprains, joint pain and surgical pain, for example dental pain (e.g., after periodontal surgery) and ophthalmic pain (e.g., after cataract surgery) while avoiding adverse effects which are associated with the administration of the racemic mixture of ketorolac. The optically pure R-ketorolac is also useful in treating pyrexia while avoiding the adverse effects associated with the administration of the racemic mixture of ketorolac.
