Keto

Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Keto, is a nonsteroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It relieves pain and inflammation in adults with musculoskeletal conditions.

GNH USA supplies Keto as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ketoprofen is used to manage pain and inflammation associated with several musculoskeletal and inflammatory conditions.

- Pain: reduces acute and chronic pain in conditions such as postoperative pain and dental pain. - Inflammation: diminishes inflammatory responses in soft tissues and joints. - Arthritis: alleviates symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - Musculoskeletal pain: eases discomfort from sprains, strains and overuse injuries.

Ketoprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

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

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration. - Acute renal impairment or worsening of chronic kidney disease. - Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Anaphylactic or severe allergic reactions.

Before using Ketoprofen, consider the following safety measures. - Gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with a history of ulcers or GI bleeding. - Cardiovascular caution: use cautiously in individuals with hypertension or heart disease. - Renal function: monitor kidney function in patients with pre‑existing renal impairment. - Concomitant drugs: assess interactions with anticoagulants, other NSAIDs, or corticosteroids. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C, retain in original packaging, and protect from moisture.

Ketoprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or diuretics: may reduce renal perfusion. - Lithium: NSAIDs can raise lithium serum levels. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance may increase toxicity.
