Ketesse

Dexketoprofen, the active ingredient in Ketesse, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It provides analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects for mild to moderate pain, musculoskeletal discomfort, post‑operative pain and dysmenorrhea in adult patients, and is indicated for short‑term management of pain and inflammation.

GNH USA supplies Ketesse as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, with distribution aligned to EU regulatory standards.

Dexketoprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain through cyclooxygenase inhibition. - Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for common aches such as headache, dental pain or minor injuries. - Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates discomfort associated with strains, sprains, arthritis and back pain. - Post‑operative pain: helps manage pain following surgical procedures. - Dysmenorrhea: reduces menstrual cramps and related discomfort.

Dexketoprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe gastrointestinal bleeding: vomiting blood or black, tarry stools. - Renal impairment: sudden decrease in urine output or peripheral oedema. - Allergic reactions: anaphylaxis, facial swelling or difficulty breathing.

Before prescribing Dexketoprofen, clinicians should consider several safety factors. - Renal function: assess kidney status before initiating therapy. - Cardiovascular risk: use cautiously in patients with hypertension or established heart disease. - Gastrointestinal history: avoid in individuals with active ulcers or recent gastrointestinal bleeding. - Concomitant anticoagulants: monitor closely for increased bleeding tendency. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C in the original container, protected from moisture.

Dexketoprofen can interact with several medication classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective COX‑2 inhibitors: heightened cardiovascular risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function. - Diuretics: monitor electrolytes and kidney function. - Lithium: may raise serum lithium concentrations, necessitating level checks.
