Ketoprofene Eg Stada

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
