What is Ketoprofen used for?

Ketoprofen is an NSAID that acts on inflammatory pathways, providing relief in several musculoskeletal and rheumatic conditions. - Rheumatoid arthritis: reduces joint inflammation and pain, improving functional ability. - Osteoarthritis: alleviates chronic joint pain and stiffness, enhancing mobility. - Musculoskeletal pain: provides analgesic relief for strains, sprains, back pain and other soft‑tissue injuries. - Acute pain: offers rapid analgesia for postoperative or dental pain.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

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

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort: nausea, dyspepsia or abdominal pain. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness or vertigo. - Skin rash: mild erythema or itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulceration: potentially life‑threatening. - Renal impairment: acute kidney injury or reduced function. - Hepatic dysfunction: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Severe hypersensitivity reactions: Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, anaphylaxis or angioedema.

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

When prescribing ketoprofen, clinicians should observe several precautionary measures to minimise risk. - Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding before initiating therapy. - Monitor renal function: check serum creatinine and electrolytes in patients with kidney disease or dehydration. - Avoid in known NSAID hypersensitivity: discontinue if allergic reactions occur. - Use lowest effective dose: limit duration to the shortest period necessary for symptom control. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

Ketoprofen can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety; interactions are classified by clinical significance.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of serious bleeding. - Selective COX‑2 inhibitors (e.g., celecoxib): additive cardiovascular and gastrointestinal toxicity. - Lithium: ketoprofen may raise lithium serum concentrations, risking toxicity. - Methotrexate: concurrent use can enhance methotrexate toxicity, especially at high doses.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: possible decline in renal function when combined with NSAIDs. - Diuretics: heightened risk of renal impairment and electrolyte disturbances. - Corticosteroids: combined use raises the chance of gastrointestinal ulceration.
