Brief Summary

Ketorolac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), similar to ibuprofen but it is used to treat more severe pain. Ketorolac (Trade name: Toradol) is typically used after surgical procedures. When taken orally, it should not cause sedation. The purpose of this study is to determine if oral ketorolac is effective at reducing pain during IUD placement versus a placebo tablet.
