Frequently asked questions
What is Ketro?
Ketro is a high-performance line of topical pain relievers that work fast and go deep. Our prescription-strength ketorolac gel reduces inflammation at the source, while our magnesium cream, spray, and stick help relax tight muscles, support sleep, and speed up recovery. No pills. No system wide overload. Just targeted relief that works.
Does it actually work?
Yes. Ketorolac is prescription-grade and backed by real clinical research. Magnesium is essential for muscle and nerve function, and we use forms your body actually absorbs. Ketro isn’t a placebo. It’s real relief, formulated for people who move hard and recover smart.
What helps sore muscles?
Ketro was made for this exact reason. The pain gel is ideal for inflammation and acute soreness. The magnesium cream or spray is perfect for everyday tightness, recovery, and general muscle fatigue. The stick is great on the go: for the gym, your car, your bag, or your desk. We love using it on sore traps, tight calves, and jaw tension that won’t quit.
What’s better: topical or oral pain relief?
Topicals like Ketro deliver relief exactly where you need it, without flooding your entire system. That means no gut irritation, no drowsiness, and no unnecessary medication in parts of your body that aren’t in pain. If you can localize it, you should treat it locally.
What helps with jaw pain or TMJ tension?
Our pain gel and magnesium stick are both favorites for this. Apply a small amount to your outer jaw, neck, or temples to help release tension and reduce inflammation. It’s a simple and effective way to calm that clenching, achy feeling without relying on pills or mouthguards alone.
Can I use this post gym or after training?
Absolutely. Whether you’re lifting, running, grappling, or grinding through two-a-days, Ketro is built for performance recovery. Use the pain gel on inflamed areas, and the magnesium cream or spray for general soreness, cramping, or overuse tension. We love to bring it with us to the gym.
Can I use it everyday?
Yes. All Ketro products are designed for safe, frequent use. Whether you’re training, recovering, or just trying to keep up with life in a body that gets sore, these formulas are non-habit-forming, non-systemic, and made for real life.
How long does it take to work?
Most people feel relief within minutes. The pain gel works fast on inflammation, while magnesium has a cumulative calming effect over time, especially when used consistently.
Do I need a prescription?
Only the Pain Gel requires a brief tele-med consult to verify eligibility. It takes less than 5 minutes, and if approved, your order ships fast. Everything else - the magnesium cream, spray, and stick - is available without a prescription.
Does it work well for massage or PT?
Yes. Our magnesium cream has a smooth texture that makes it ideal for targeted muscle release during massage. Therapists love it because it delivers function, not fragrance. For more intense areas, layering with the pain gel after bodywork can extend the relief.
Can magnesium spray help with sleep?
Yes. Spray it on the bottoms of your feet before bed to help calm the nervous system and support deeper relaxation. It’s a simple ritual that signals your body to slow down and recover. Many people use it nightly to reduce stress, tension, and bedtime scaries.
Is it greasy or heavily scented?
Nope. All our current products are clean, fast-absorbing, and unscented. No gross menthol smell. No sticky residue. That said, we have a Yuzu scent option coming soon because we can't get enough Yuzu these days. It’s crisp, bright, and still subtle enough for daily use.
