Anyone know what HA>I'm talking about? *adh* Toradol is the brand name, I forget the generic name at the moment - will post it tomorrow. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory in the same vein as ibuprofen (Motrin) and is chemically related to indomethacin (Indocin) and sulindac (Clinoril). It does not produce physical dependence and the side effects are mild. If you would like to know more I would be glad to post it.
