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.

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.

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.

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.
