What is Ketoprofen used for?

Ketoprofen is an NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation in several musculoskeletal conditions. - Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for acute and chronic pain. - Rheumatoid arthritis: helps control joint inflammation and swelling. - Osteoarthritis: reduces pain and improves joint function. - Musculoskeletal pain: alleviates discomfort from strains, sprains, and overuse. - Inflammation: diminishes localized swelling in various tissues.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Skin rash or mild itching. - Elevated liver enzymes (asymptomatic).

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Peptic ulcer disease or gastrointestinal bleeding. - Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury. - Cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction or stroke. - Hepatotoxicity with jaundice. - Blood dyscrasias like agranulocytosis.

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen should be used with caution in specific clinical situations. - Assess gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with a history of ulcers or bleeding. - Monitor renal function: use carefully in those with existing kidney disease. - Evaluate cardiovascular status: consider risk in patients with heart disease. - Review concomitant medications: avoid combining with other NSAIDs or anticoagulants without supervision. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C, retain in original packaging, protect from moisture.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

Ketoprofen can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs): elevated bleeding potential.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible reduction in renal function. - Diuretics: may enhance nephrotoxic effects. - Lithium: NSAIDs can raise lithium serum levels.
