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

- Mild to moderate pain: Provides analgesic relief by decreasing local prostaglandin production. - Osteoarthritis: Helps improve joint function and reduces swelling associated with degenerative joint disease. - Rheumatoid arthritis: Alleviates inflammatory symptoms and joint tenderness in autoimmune arthritis. - Acute musculoskeletal injuries: Diminishes pain and edema following strains, sprains, or overuse injuries. - Post‑operative inflammation: Assists in controlling localized inflammation after minor surgical procedures.

Ketoprofen may cause a range of adverse reactions, most of which are mild and reversible.

Common Side Effects: - Skin irritation or erythema at the application site. - Pruritus or mild itching. - Dryness or peeling of the treated skin. - Localized burning sensation. - Mild headache.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angio‑edema, anaphylaxis). - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Systemic NSAID‑related gastrointestinal bleeding. - Renal impairment with prolonged use. - Hepatotoxicity manifested by abnormal liver enzymes.

Before using Ketoprofene Eg Stada, consider the following safety measures.

- Allergies: Avoid if you have known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs. - Skin conditions: Do not apply on broken, infected, or severely inflamed skin. - Pregnancy: Use only if clearly prescribed; safety data are limited. - Renal or hepatic disease: Consult a healthcare professional before use. - Concomitant NSAIDs: Limit use with other systemic NSAIDs to reduce risk of adverse effects. - Store at room temperature: Keep below 25°C in the original packaging, protected from moisture and direct sunlight.

Ketoprofen can interact with several drug classes, influencing efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): Increased risk of bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: Heightened gastrointestinal and renal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: Elevated chance of ulceration and bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: May reduce renal function, especially in dehydrated patients. - Diuretics: Potential for decreased renal perfusion. - Lithium: NSAIDs can raise lithium serum levels, requiring monitoring.
