Comparison of the effect of Apotel and Ketorolac before surgery on pain and the need for narcotics after abdominal surgery
The administration of Apotel before surgery was associated with more pain relief and less narcotic consumption in patients, and it seems that the use of this drug combination is more effective than the administration of Ketorolac in patients who are candidates for abdominal surgery for postoperative control.<b>Clinical trial registration</b>: Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials identifier is IRCT20230911059408N1.
