Ketoprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes.

- Pain: Provides analgesic relief for mild to moderate musculoskeletal pain. - Inflammation: Decreases inflammatory response in acute inflammatory conditions such as sprains. - Arthritis: Improves joint function and reduces swelling in osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - Post‑operative pain: Assists in managing pain following surgical procedures. - Dysmenorrhea: Relieves menstrual cramps associated with primary dysmenorrhea.

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia, or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate headache episodes. - Dizziness: transient sensation of light‑headedness. - Skin rash: mild erythema or pruritus.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Peptic ulcer disease: gastrointestinal bleeding or perforation. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury or reduced renal function. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of myocardial infarction or stroke. - Severe hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.

When using Ketoprofen, several precautions should be observed to minimize risk.

- Assess renal function: evaluate kidney health before initiating therapy. - Monitor gastrointestinal risk: avoid use in patients with a history of ulcers or bleeding. - Use lowest effective dose: prescribe the minimal dose needed for symptom control. - Caution in cardiovascular disease: consider increased risk of thrombotic events. - Avoid concurrent NSAIDs: do not combine with other non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs. - Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in original packaging, protect from moisture.

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk when combined with warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants. - ACE inhibitors/ARBs: may reduce renal protective effects and worsen kidney function. - Lithium: can raise lithium serum levels, risking toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may enhance nephrotoxic potential. - Corticosteroids: additive gastrointestinal ulcer risk. - Methotrexate: possible increased toxicity at high doses.
