Ketorolac (Toradol) should not be administered to a patient with a suspected or confirmed cerebrovascular bleed. Furosemide (Lasix) is administered to reduce fluid volume and is not administered to treat inflammation. Hydrochlorothiazide with triamterene is administered to reduce fluid volume and is not administered to treat inflammation. Digoxin (Lanoxin) is administered to increase cardiac output, not to treat inflammation.
