`Ketorolac Tromethamine Injection is a sterile solution of
`Ketorolac Tromethamine. It contains NLT 90.0% and NMT
`110.0% of the labeled amount of ketorolac tromethamine
`(C15H13NO3 · C4H11NO3).

`System suitability solution: In a 250-mL separator, mix
`100 mL of water, 100 mL of dichloromethane, 30 mg of

`drochloric acid. Insert the stopper, shake, and allow the
`layers to separate. Transfer the lower dichloromethane
`layer to a stoppered borosilicate glass flask, and discard
`the upper layer. Expose the dichloromethane solution
`to direct sunlight for 10–15 min. Transfer 1.0 mL of the
`solution to a vial, evaporate in a current of air or in a
`stream of nitrogen to dryness, add 1.0 mL of Diluent,
`and swirl to dissolve. [NOTE—This solution may be
`stored under refrigeration and used as long as the chro-
`matogram obtained as directed for Analysis is suitable
`for identifying the peaks due to the ketorolac 1-keto
`analog and ketorolac 1-hydroxy analog, and for the
`measurement of the resolution between the ketorolac
`1-keto analog and ketorolac.]
