Ketoprofen is used to manage pain and inflammation associated with musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders.

Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for acute or chronic pain conditions such as headache, musculoskeletal strain, or postoperative discomfort. Osteoarthritis: reduces joint pain, stiffness and inflammation, helping improve functional mobility and quality of life in affected joints. Rheumatoid arthritis: alleviates inflammatory symptoms, joint swelling and tenderness, contributing to disease management alongside disease‑modifying therapies. Postoperative pain: assists in controlling pain after surgical procedures, facilitating early mobilization and recovery. Dental pain: eases discomfort following dental extractions, periodontal procedures or other oral surgeries.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea or upset stomach - Dyspepsia or heartburn - Headache - Dizziness

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding - Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome - Renal impairment or reduced kidney function

Before initiating therapy with Ketoprofen, consider the following safety measures.

Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers, bleeding disorders or concurrent NSAID use. Evaluate renal function: monitor creatinine and adjust use in patients with impaired kidneys. Monitor cardiovascular status: use cautiously in patients with heart disease or high thrombotic risk. Avoid use in third‑trimester pregnancy: NSAIDs may affect fetal circulation. Use the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration needed. Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture.

Ketoprofen can interact with several medicines; awareness helps prevent adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated risk of bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: possible reduction in renal clearance. - Corticosteroids: additive risk of gastrointestinal ulceration.
