What is Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen, the active ingredient in Ketoprofene Teva, is a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug (NSAID) presented as an oral dosage form for oral use. It is used to relieve mild to moderate pain and to reduce inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.

GNH USA supplies Ketoprofene Teva as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies, clinics and procurement teams worldwide, with a focus on quality assurance and regulatory compliance.

What is Ketoprofen used for?

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

- Mild to moderate pain: provides analgesic relief for conditions such as dental pain, headache, or postoperative discomfort. - Rheumatoid arthritis: helps decrease joint inflammation and improve mobility. - Osteoarthritis: reduces pain and stiffness associated with degenerative joint disease. - Inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders: alleviates swelling and discomfort in conditions like bursitis or tendonitis.

What are the side effects of Ketoprofen?

Ketoprofen may cause adverse reactions ranging from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g., stomach pain, indigestion) - Nausea or vomiting - Headache

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding - Renal impairment - Severe skin reactions (e.g., Stevens‑Johnson syndrome)

What precautions apply to Ketoprofen?

When prescribing ketoprofen, clinicians should consider several safety precautions.

- Assess gastrointestinal risk: evaluate history of ulcers or bleeding before use. - Monitor renal function: check creatinine levels in patients with kidney disease. - Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to NSAIDs: discontinue if rash develops. - Use caution with anticoagulants: increased bleeding risk. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

What does Ketoprofen interact with?

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

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin): heightened bleeding risk. - Other NSAIDs or aspirin: additive gastrointestinal toxicity. - Corticosteroids: increased ulcer risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Diuretics: may reduce renal clearance of ketoprofen. - Methotrexate: possible increased toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Ketoprofene Teva used for?+
Ketoprofene Teva contains ketoprofen, an NSAID indicated for the relief of mild to moderate pain and for reducing inflammation in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and other inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders.
How does ketoprofen work?+
Ketoprofen works by non‑selectively blocking the cyclooxygenase‑1 and cyclooxygenase‑2 enzymes, which reduces the synthesis of prostaglandins. Lower prostaglandin levels diminish inflammation, pain, and fever in affected tissues.
What is the usual dose of ketoprofen?+
The appropriate dose of ketoprofen is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s condition, age, weight, and renal or hepatic function. Patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not adjust the dose on their own.
Is ketoprofen safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Ketoprofen is generally not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, because of potential risks to the fetus and complications during labor. Limited data are available for breastfeeding, so clinicians usually advise caution and consider alternative therapies.
How do I order Ketoprofene Teva from GNH USA?+
To order Ketoprofene Teva, 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 and any necessary import documentation.
How does ketoprofen compare with ibuprofen?+
Both ketoprofen and ibuprofen belong to the NSAID class and share similar mechanisms of COX inhibition. Ketoprofen is often considered slightly more potent on a milligram‑per‑milligram basis, but the safety profile, dosing frequency and individual patient response can differ, so clinicians choose based on therapeutic goals and tolerability.
How should Ketoprofene Teva be stored and handled?+
Ketoprofene Teva should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect it from moisture and excessive heat. Keep the product out of reach of children and avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
How is Ketoprofene Teva given or administered?+
Ketoprofene Teva is administered orally. Patients should swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, preferably with food or milk to lessen gastrointestinal irritation, unless the prescriber advises otherwise.
What are the most serious risks to watch for while taking ketoprofen?+
Serious risks include gastrointestinal ulceration or bleeding, renal impairment, severe skin reactions such as Stevens‑Johnson syndrome, and heightened bleeding when combined with anticoagulants. Patients should seek immediate medical attention if they notice black stools, severe abdominal pain, sudden swelling, or skin rash.
Who should not use ketoprofen?+
Ketoprofen should be avoided in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to ketoprofen or other NSAIDs, active gastrointestinal ulcer or bleeding, severe renal or hepatic impairment, and in patients taking anticoagulants without close monitoring. It is also contraindicated in late pregnancy.
