What is Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Ketoprofene Eg Stada, is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an injection for intramuscular use. It treats mild to moderate pain and inflammatory conditions in adults, including musculoskeletal and rheumatic disorders. GNH USA supplies Ketoprofene Eg Stada as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

What is Ketoprofen used for?

Ketoprofen acts as an NSAID to relieve pain and inflammation in several musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions. - Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for acute and chronic pain states. - Rheumatoid arthritis: reduces joint inflammation and improves functional mobility. - Osteoarthritis: alleviates joint pain and stiffness associated with degenerative changes. - Musculoskeletal disorders: diminishes inflammation in sprains, strains and soft‑tissue injuries. - Post‑operative inflammation: helps control swelling and discomfort after surgical procedures.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Injection site reactions: redness, swelling or mild pain.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury. - Severe hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis. - Hepatotoxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Cardiovascular events: increased risk of thrombotic complications.

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofene Eg Stada requires careful consideration of patient history and concurrent therapies. - Renal function: assess baseline kidney status and monitor during treatment. - Gastrointestinal risk: avoid in patients with active ulcers or a history of GI bleeding. - Cardiovascular disease: use cautiously in patients with hypertension or heart disease. - Pregnancy and lactation: avoid unless clearly indicated and benefits outweigh risks. - Drug interactions: review concomitant NSAIDs, anticoagulants and corticosteroids. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: heightened gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: synergistic risk of ulceration and bleeding.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: may reduce renal perfusion, especially in volume‑depleted patients. - Diuretics: potential for reduced renal function. - Lithium: NSAIDs can raise lithium serum levels, requiring monitoring.

Frequently asked questions

What conditions is Ketoprofene Eg Stada used for?+
Ketoprofene Eg Stada is an injectable form of ketoprofen used to manage mild to moderate pain and inflammation. It is commonly prescribed for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, musculoskeletal injuries, and postoperative inflammation, providing analgesic and anti‑inflammatory relief in adult patients.
How does ketoprofen work to relieve pain and inflammation?+
Ketoprofen works by non‑selectively inhibiting the cyclooxygenase enzymes COX‑1 and COX‑2. This inhibition reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins, which are mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever. Lower prostaglandin levels result in decreased inflammation and reduced pain perception.
What is the usual dose of Ketoprofene Eg Stada?+
The specific dose and frequency of Ketoprofene Eg Stada are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, severity, and response to therapy. Healthcare professionals tailor the regimen to achieve optimal pain control while minimizing potential risks.
Is Ketoprofene Eg Stada safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of ketoprofen in pregnancy and lactation has not been definitively established. It is generally avoided unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Women who are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding should discuss alternatives with their healthcare provider.

To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold‑chain handling if needed) and necessary import documentation.
How does Ketoprofene Eg Stada compare with other NSAIDs?+
Ketoprofen offers a potent analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effect comparable to other NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or diclofenac, but its non‑selective COX inhibition may provide stronger pain relief in certain musculoskeletal conditions. Choice of NSAID depends on individual patient factors, safety profile, and clinician preference.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Ketoprofene Eg Stada?+
Ketoprofene Eg Stada should be stored at 2‑8 °C in a refrigerator. Keep the vials in their original packaging, protect them from light, and avoid freezing or shaking the product to maintain stability and potency.
How is Ketoprofene Eg Stada administered?+
The product is supplied as a sterile injectable solution for intramuscular administration. A qualified healthcare professional injects the prescribed dose into a suitable muscle, typically the gluteal or deltoid region, following aseptic technique.
What are the most serious risks associated with Ketoprofene Eg Stada?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, renal impairment, severe hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, hepatotoxicity, and increased cardiovascular events. Patients should be monitored for signs of these conditions, and therapy should be discontinued if severe adverse reactions occur.
Who should not use Ketoprofene Eg Stada?+
Ketoprofene Eg Stada is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in those who have experienced a previous serious cardiovascular event related to NSAID use. It should also be avoided in late‑stage pregnancy.
