Consumer:

Before taking ketorolac, tell your doctor if you also use digoxin. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. This combination may increase digoxin levels. You should notify your doctor if you have symptoms of nausea, loss of appetite, visual changes, slow pulse, or irregular heartbeats. It is important that you tell your healthcare provider about all other medications that you are using including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using your medications without first talking to your doctor first.

Professional:

MONITOR: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may increase plasma digoxin concentrations and half-life. The exact mechanism is unknown, but may be related to reduced renal clearance of digoxin. Data have been conflicting. The interaction has been reported with indomethacin and ibuprofen, but data for other NSAIDs are not available.

MANAGEMENT: Patients who require concomitant therapy should be monitored for altered pharmacologic effects of digoxin and for increased plasma levels. The digoxin dosage may require adjustment. Patients should be advised to notify their physician if they experience nausea, anorexia, visual changes, slow pulse, or irregular heartbeats.
