Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Ketoprofene Medisol, is a Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an intravenous solution for intravenous use. It treats pain and inflammation, including postoperative pain and musculoskeletal disorders, in adult patients. It is indicated for the management of acute pain, postoperative discomfort, and inflammatory musculoskeletal conditions, offering rapid analgesic and anti‑inflammatory effects when administered intravenously.

GNH USA supplies Ketoprofene Medisol as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals worldwide. The company ensures quality compliance with EU standards and provides reliable logistics for global healthcare facilities.

Ketoprofen is an NSAID that reduces inflammation and pain by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes. - Pain: provides analgesic relief in acute pain conditions. - Postoperative pain: reduces discomfort following surgical procedures. - Musculoskeletal disorders: alleviates inflammation in conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. - Inflammation: controls systemic inflammatory responses in various clinical settings.

Ketoprofen may be associated with 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. - Injection site reactions: erythema, pain, or swelling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal bleeding or ulcer perforation. - Severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Anaphylactic or severe hypersensitivity reactions. - Renal impairment or acute kidney injury.

When using Ketoprofene Medisol, clinicians should observe several precautionary measures to minimize risk. - Assess renal function: monitor serum creatinine and urine output before and during therapy. - Evaluate hepatic function: check liver enzymes periodically. - Use caution in cardiovascular disease: NSAIDs may increase risk of thrombotic events. - Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs. - Store at 2-8°C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

Ketoprofen can interact with other medicines, influencing efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): increased risk of bleeding. - Other NSAIDs or COX‑2 inhibitors: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: heightened risk of renal impairment.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: possible reduction in diuretic effect and renal function. - Lithium: ketoprofen may raise lithium serum concentrations. - Methotrexate: reduced clearance leading to toxicity. - SSRIs or SNRIs: enhanced bleeding tendency.
