Rob Hoffman

Can't believe I spent years on pills when this existed. I was taking ibuprofen every morning just to get down the stairs, and it barely touched my knee. This goes right on the joint and did more in a week.

I was taking 800mg of ibuprofen like clockwork and my shoulders still ached by noon. This worked better than any pill I've taken, and my stomach doesn't pay for it.

My jaw was so tight I couldn't chew on the left side. Pills never touched it. I felt this start working within 20 minutes and I actually started crying.

ORIGINALLY FORMULATED FOR THE BOSTON RED SOX
Boston Red Sox

The Origin

ORIGINALLY FORMULATED FOR THE BOSTON RED SOX

The Red Sox training staff needed pain relief their players could rub on mid-game: nothing swallowed, no GI issues, fast enough to work between innings.

So our compounding pharmacy built them one: a ketorolac gel that absorbs in seconds and works right where you put it.

That exact formula is KETRO RX: PAIN GEL. Same active. Same strength. Compounded for you at an FDA-registered US pharmacy.

“I highly recommend KETRO RX: PAIN GEL for patients struggling with localized pain. It is simply applied right onto the skin to deliver prescription-strength relief without swallowing any pills or getting an upset stomach.”

“Many patients don’t always know there are topical options for localized pain and tension. That’s why I see real value in KETRO: it lets patients apply the cream directly to areas like the neck, shoulders, lower back, knees, or overworked muscles.”

Pain relief doesn't have to be a pill.

This isn't drugstore cream. It's prescription medicine.

Not menthol. Not tiger balm. Not a scented lotion pretending to be medicine.

This is 3% prescription Ketorolac, the formula the Boston Red Sox has used for years. Compounded specifically for you, and strong enough to need a doctor's sign-off.

Why does that matter? Menthol distracts you from pain. A prescription NSAID reduces it at the source. It doesn't mask the pain with a warming sensation. It reduces the inflammation causing it.

Two-layer relief system: drugstore creams stop at the skin surface, KETRO RX ketorolac reaches the inflamed tissue underneath
THE SCIENCE

THE TWO-LAYER RELIEF SYSTEM

Pain relief has two layers. Drugstore creams work on the first: your skin. KETRO RX works on the second: the inflamed tissue underneath.

Pills reach that second layer too, but only by flooding your entire system to get there. Ketorolac through the skin goes straight to the spot. Never through your gut, never through your liver, never anywhere it doesn't need to be.

01

Layer 1: The Surface

Where drugstore creams stop. Menthol and camphor tingle the skin, a sensation that distracts from pain without treating it.

02

Layer 2: The Tissue

Where the pain actually lives. 3% prescription ketorolac absorbs through the skin into the inflamed tissue and reduces inflammation at the source.

Common Questions
Is Ketro RX stronger than OTC Voltaren?

Strong enough to require a prescription. That's the point. OTC Voltaren is 1% diclofenac, the strength allowed on a drugstore shelf. Ketro RX is ketorolac, an NSAID in the same class that's one you can't buy over the counter. Same idea, different league.

Where is RX compounded?

Compounded per order by Precision Compounding Pharmacy, an FDA-registered, licensed US compounding facility. Every batch is made to order. Your gel is compounded specifically for you. Never mass-produced, never sitting on a shelf.

Do I need a prescription?

Yes, but it's handled for you. When you order, you'll complete a short online health questionnaire. A licensed provider reviews it and issues your prescription. The entire process happens online. No office visit, no separate appointment.

Is it safe? What about side effects?

KETRO RX is applied to the skin, so it works at the site of pain instead of passing through your digestive system the way oral NSAIDs do. Before anything ships, a licensed provider reviews your health history and current medications and determines whether it's right for you. As with any prescription medication, use it as directed by your provider.

Isn't ketorolac only for short-term use?

The pill and injection are. Oral ketorolac is limited to about 5 days because at full systemic doses, GI and kidney risks climb quickly. Ketro RX works differently: applied to the skin, it acts at the site of pain and only a small fraction reaches your bloodstream. That's why a licensed provider can prescribe topical ketorolac for ongoing, localized use. Your provider determines the right duration based on your health history.

Is the doctor consultation free?

Yes. The provider review is included in your order. Never a separate charge.

What if the provider says no?

If your provider determines this isn't right for you, you pay nothing. Full refund, no questions asked.

How is this different from ibuprofen?

Ibuprofen is an oral NSAID that passes through your entire digestive system. Ketro RX is applied directly to the site of pain. Same class of medication, targeted delivery that skips your digestive system.

How is this different from Icy Hot or Tiger Balm?

Icy Hot and Tiger Balm are menthol rubs. They make your skin tingle so you notice the pain less, and when the tingle fades, the pain is right where you left it. Nothing was treated. Ketro RX is a prescription NSAID. It goes after the inflammation itself, right where you apply it.

What's the subscription and can I cancel?

Subscribe & Save starts at $110/mo on the 90-day plan (our best value) or $130/mo on the monthly plan. Cancel, pause, or adjust frequency anytime. No commitments.
