Frequently asked questions

What is Ketokaps Med used for?+
Ketokaps Med contains ketoprofen, an NSAID that is prescribed to relieve moderate to severe pain and to reduce inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
How does ketoprofen work?+
Ketoprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to decreased inflammation, pain signalling, and fever.
What is the usual dose of Ketokaps Med?+
The appropriate dose of Ketokaps Med is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, renal and hepatic function, and other individual factors. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions exactly.
Is Ketokaps Med safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of ketoprofen in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It is generally avoided in the third trimester and used only if the potential benefit justifies the risk. Breastfeeding mothers should consult their physician before use.

How does ketoprofen compare with other NSAIDs?+

What are the most serious risks associated with ketoprofen?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration, severe renal impairment, hepatic injury, and rare but life‑threatening skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice signs of bleeding, severe abdominal pain, jaundice, or rash.
Who should not use Ketokaps Med?+
Ketokaps Med should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, those with active gastrointestinal ulcer disease, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and patients in the third trimester of pregnancy.
