What is Ketoprofen used for?

Ketoprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain in musculoskeletal and arthritic disorders.

- Musculoskeletal pain: provides topical analgesia and reduces inflammation at the application site. - Osteoarthritis: alleviates joint pain and improves mobility in affected joints. - Rheumatoid arthritis: diminishes localized inflammation and discomfort in peripheral joints. - Soft tissue injuries: eases pain and swelling from sprains or strains. - Post‑operative inflammation: helps control localized swelling after minor surgical procedures.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

Topical ketoprofen may cause a range of skin‑related adverse reactions, from mild irritation to rare systemic events.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation: mild burning or stinging at the application site. - Redness: localized erythema. - Itching: pruritus around the treated area. - Dryness: skin dryness or flaking.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Allergic reaction: angioedema or anaphylaxis. - Severe dermatitis: extensive blistering or contact dermatitis. - Photosensitivity: exaggerated sunburn response. - Systemic NSAID effects: gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding.

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

When using topical ketoprofen, several safety considerations should be observed to minimize risks.

- Avoid use on broken skin: apply only to intact, healthy skin. - Limit sun exposure: risk of photosensitivity, use sunscreen or protective clothing. - Do not combine with other NSAIDs: increased risk of systemic adverse effects. - Use with caution in elderly: higher susceptibility to systemic absorption and renal effects. - Pregnancy and breastfeeding: consult a healthcare professional before use. - Store below 25°C: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and light.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

Ketoprofen can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent oral NSAIDs: increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. - Anticoagulants (warfarin, DOACs): heightened bleeding tendency. - Corticosteroids: additive risk of gastrointestinal ulceration.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors: possible reduction in renal function. - Diuretics: risk of renal impairment with combined use. - Lithium: ketoprofen may raise lithium serum levels.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ketoprofen Lgo used for?+
Ketoprofen Lgo is a topical formulation of the NSAID ketoprofen. It is applied to the skin to relieve pain and reduce inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, soft‑tissue injuries and localized post‑operative swelling.
How does ketoprofen work?+
Ketoprofen works by reversibly blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes. This inhibition prevents the formation of prostaglandins, which are chemicals that promote inflammation, pain and fever. Lower prostaglandin levels lead to reduced swelling and analgesic effects at the site of application.
What is the usual dose of Ketoprofen Lgo?+
The specific dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the condition being treated, the size of the affected area and patient factors. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the skin and may be repeated two to three times daily, but exact instructions must come from the prescriber.
Is Ketoprofen Lgo safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established for topical ketoprofen. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Ketoprofen Lgo from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and necessary import documentation.
How does Ketoprofen Lgo compare with other topical NSAIDs?+
Ketoprofen Lgo is comparable to other topical NSAIDs such as diclofenac gel. Both provide localized pain relief with limited systemic exposure. Ketoprofen may have a slightly stronger COX‑1/COX‑2 inhibition profile, which can translate into effective anti‑inflammatory action, but individual response and tolerability can vary, so selection should be based on clinical judgment.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Ketoprofen Lgo?+
Store Ketoprofen Lgo below 25 °C in its original packaging. Protect the container from moisture, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid using it after the expiry date indicated on the label.
How is Ketoprofen Lgo administered?+
Ketoprofen Lgo is applied externally to clean, dry, intact skin. A thin layer is spread over the affected area and gently massaged until absorbed. The exact amount and frequency should follow the prescribing clinician’s directions, and hands should be washed after application to prevent accidental contact with eyes or mucous membranes.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ketoprofen Lgo?+
Serious risks, although rare, include severe allergic reactions such as angioedema or anaphylaxis, extensive contact dermatitis, photosensitivity leading to severe sunburn, and systemic NSAID effects like gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding if significant systemic absorption occurs.
Who should not use Ketoprofen Lgo?+
Ketoprofen Lgo should be avoided in individuals with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or any NSAID, those with broken or infected skin at the intended site, patients with a history of severe photosensitivity, and anyone currently using other topical or systemic NSAIDs without medical advice.
