What is Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Ketoprofen Slavia, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as a topical formulation for cutaneous application. It is used to alleviate mild to moderate pain and to diminish inflammation associated with musculoskeletal disorders, such as sprains, strains, and localized arthritic discomfort.

GNH USA supplies Ketoprofen Slavia as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide, providing reliable sourcing for global healthcare providers and ensuring compliance with EU quality standards through rigorous quality control.

What is Ketoprofen used for?

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

- Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic effect for sprains, strains, and minor joint discomfort. - Musculoskeletal inflammation: decreases swelling and stiffness in tendonitis and osteoarthritis. - Localized pain: offers targeted relief when applied to specific skin areas affected by injury or inflammation. - Post‑operative discomfort: helps manage superficial pain after minor surgical procedures.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen topical may cause local and systemic adverse reactions, which are generally categorized by frequency.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation at the application site. - Burning or stinging sensation. - Redness of the treated area. - Itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction such as anaphylaxis. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration.

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

When using Ketoprofen Slavia, consider the following precautions:

- Assess patient history: verify no known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs. - Avoid use on broken or infected skin: apply only to intact skin. - Limit duration: do not exceed the recommended treatment period without medical advice. - Monitor for systemic absorption: watch for gastrointestinal or renal symptoms in prolonged use. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh risks after professional evaluation. - Store at room temperature: keep below 25°C, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

Ketoprofen may interact with other medicines; awareness of the interaction level helps manage risk.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Concurrent systemic NSAIDs: increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened bleeding tendency. - Selective COX‑2 inhibitors: additive cardiovascular risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics and antihypertensives: possible reduction in renal function. - Lithium therapy: potential increase in lithium levels. - Methotrexate: enhanced toxicity risk.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ketoprofen Slavia used for?+
Ketoprofen Slavia is a topical NSAID indicated for relief of mild to moderate pain, reduction of inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions, and localized treatment of superficial pain caused by sprains, strains, tendonitis, or minor arthritic discomfort.
How does ketoprofen work?+
Ketoprofen works by reversibly inhibiting the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the production of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, pain, and fever at the site where the medication is applied.
What is the usual dose of Ketoprofen Slavia?+
The appropriate dose and frequency are determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s condition, age, and treatment response. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and the product label.
Is Ketoprofen Slavia safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for topical ketoprofen during pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk, and only after consultation with a qualified healthcare provider.
