Abstract
The authors compared the efficacy of ketorolac trometamin (30 mg i.m. every 6 hours) and buprenorphine (0.3 mg i.m. every 12 hours) in the treatment of pain following cholecystectomy. Ketorolac was found to be equally efficacious in comparison to buprenorphine and caused fewer side effects.
